Jonah Coleman walks into the Denver depth chart as the RB3 with ability to climb. The source projects him at RB85 (28.7 FPTS) versus his ECR of RB54 (-31 differential), making him a significant projection miss. If J.K. Dobbins cannot stay healthy, Coleman could assume early down duties opposite R.J. Harvey. If Harvey cannot continue to improve after his rookie season, Coleman could become the passing-down option. Over his last three collegiate seasons, Coleman ranked 54th, 13th, and 1st in yards after contact per attempt and 61st, sixth, and fourth in elusive rating. In two of those three seasons, he was also top 24 in yards per route run. The source calls him a wonderful late-round dart to toss in fantasy drafts in 2026.

Coleman enters Denver's depth chart as RB3 with upside to climb; if J.K. Dobbins struggles with health, Coleman could assume early-down duties opposite R.J.

Over his last three college seasons, Coleman ranked 54th, 13th, and 1st in yards after contact per attempt and 61st, sixth, and fourth in elusive rating (PFF); in two of those three seasons he was also top 24 in yards per route run.

Rookie Jonah Coleman is a dart throw in Denver's backfield alongside JK Dobbins and RJ Harvey. Sean Payton has been seeking a thumper out of the backfield, and Coleman fits that profile—a coach's favorite type who doesn't fumble and handles the little things, though his film doesn't blow away scouts. Harvey struggled between the tackles with poor vision at the line of scrimmage last year. If Dobbins misses time, Coleman could handle early down and short yardage work; he's also solid in the passing game. At ADP RB47 (143 overall), he's a low-risk dart throw that can be dropped for a waiver wire addition if things don't break right.

Drafted as injury insurance for Dobbins and possibly to replace Harvey; article claims Payton impressed with Coleman. Community split: some see him as versatile jack-of-all-trades (4th RB off board, high-floor prospect with reliable skillset but limited explosiveness/lateral quickness); others argue he's a Justice Hill/Rachaad White type—good to roster but never dependable unless situation breaks right. Consensus projects him as RB3 depth chart with Sean Tucker-type role: valuable touches most games but not a starter. Best-ball league winner potential if Dobbins gets hurt early; redraft value minimal unless forced late. Payton's trust in Coleman (hasn't signed other RBs yet) seen as posit...

Coleman is drawing interest from Broncos head coach Sean Payton, who praised his third-down ability and blocking prowess. Payton noted Coleman's frame and college tape show strong protection recognition without needing development. Coleman's tough running style—71 percent of his college rushing production came after first contact—could force Denver coaches to involve him early. At ADP 146 (RB47), Coleman could function as Denver's top back if JK Dobbins struggles with injuries or RJ Harvey continues to underperform.
