Jonah Coleman got quite a few good snaps in this game due to Dobbins having a pulled hamstring. He ran with vision behind excellent blocking for his touchdown; while neither he nor Dobbins ran at an amazing rate (Coleman 3.9 ypc, Dobbins 3.6 ypc), Coleman showed receiving chops with 3 catches for 19 yards. The source indicates Coleman is a viable depth option with both rushing and pass-catching ability, particularly relevant if Dobbins' hamstring injury lingers.

Jonah Coleman's 40% snap share already edges J.K. Dobbins' 34% even though the touch-share swap was compressed almost entirely into the second half after Dobbins got hurt; Coleman rushed 10 times for 39 yards and the game-winning touchdown, added 3 catches for 19 yards on 3 targets (10% target share), ran only 6 routes but saw a target on half of them; took over as a complete bell-cow once Dobbins was hurt with all 8 of his second-half carries coming after the injury plus the clinching score; first-half usage was just 2 carries for 1 yard—a name to add off waivers if Dobbins' Week 3 status is in doubt given the veteran's laundry list of career injuries.

PositiveBreakoutSep 22, 2026Mile High Report
Rookie RB had a breakout performance in Sunday's comeback win over Jacksonville, thrust into starting role late in 4th quarter due to injuries to Dobbins and Harvey. Coleman iced the game with key runs and scored his first career touchdown. The source emphasizes Coleman's high-level football IQ, showcased by sliding in-bounds after picking up a first down, and predicts he will quickly become a fan favorite. With both Dobbins and Harvey dealing with hamstring injuries that can linger, Coleman is expected to see a larger role vs. the Rams on Sunday Night. The source states multiple times that Coleman deserves more carries and that it is only a matter of time before he takes over the backfield, arguing it should happen sooner rather than later.

Coleman seized opportunity after RJ Harvey and JK Dobbins suffered hamstring injuries, finishing Week 2 with 10-39-1 rushing and 3-19-0 receiving on 25 snaps; he out-snapped Tyler Badie 25-16 and demonstrated clutch awareness late in the game by sliding inbounds to kill clock and scoring a 3-yard touchdown. Coleman may well have a fantasy-relevant role once the other backs return, and it's not inconceivable he could pass one or both on the depth chart.

After JK Dobbins left early with a hamstring injury, Coleman was the primary beneficiary with 10 carries for 39 yards, a touchdown, and 3 receptions for 19 yards. The source notes that Coleman's only preseason knock was needing an injury to be relevant; with both Dobbins and RJ Harvey banged up, he now has a clear runway to production. The source recommends bidding hard on Coleman if available, citing the Broncos' elite offensive line and Coleman's three-down skill set.

Coleman is a buy-low candidate after stepping into a larger role with RJ Harvey declared inactive. He played more snaps and ran more routes than J.K. Dobbins while equalling the veteran in rushing attempts, and looked better than Dobbins on the vast majority of plays. Despite Sean Payton's history of underutilizing his best players, Payton got it right with Coleman. If/when Dobbins gets injured (which has become inevitable), Coleman should have no issues stepping into a three-down role.

Coleman fueled growing hype with 10 carries for 39 yards and a touchdown, plus three catches for 19 yards in Week 2. While J.K. Dobbins is expected to return sooner than later and R.J. Harvey should return from hamstring injury, Coleman has the all-around skill set to run away with the high-upside Broncos RB role if he continues to show out; he could take over Dobbins' early-down role with Harvey functioning as an explosive receiver out of the backfield.

The source identifies Coleman as a must-add waiver wire target in a "next man up" situation after RJ Harvey (hamstring) and starter J.K. Dobbins (hamstring injury) both missed time; Coleman and Dobbins split 10 carries apiece in Week 2, leading the Denver backfield. Given Dobbins' injury history, Coleman is positioned as a volume play against the Rams in Week 3, with the added context that Denver's defense could benefit from Mile High fatigue as the Rams travel from Australia.

PositiveRoleSep 21, 2026Mile High Report
Jonah Coleman impressed in Week 2 against Jacksonville, displaying veteran-level performance and future starter potential. Sean Payton expressed confidence in Coleman's ability to handle a heavier workload if necessary, noting that with RJ Harvey out and J.K. Dobbins nicked up and unable to finish, all three running backs can function as a bell cow and handle a majority of carries. The source posed the question 'Should Jonah Coleman be the Broncos' starting running back?' based on his performance.
