Jonah Coleman reaching 100 yards and finding the box in his second game would have anyone declaring him a solid RB2 for the rest of the season. But let me at least take a look under the hood regarding his utilization before we pin 'league winner' to his name.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Jonah Coleman's red-zone dominance and third-down role signal imminent starter takeover.

Rookie running back reached 100 yards in his second game, but context reveals significant role expansion. Coleman commanded 61.1% rushing rate versus Dobbins' 38.9%, ran 52.9% of routes per team dropback versus Dobbins' 11.8%, and dominated red-zone snaps at 87.5% versus 6.3%. The Broncos ran five plays inside Kansas City's 5-yard line; Dobbins stayed off the field for all five while Coleman handled four carries. With RJ Harvey on IR, Coleman took all third-down plays. The situation is lining up for the rookie to take over as the starter as Denver looks to maintain their division lead, and with the Panthers up before their bye, Coleman has a chance to force the decision sooner rather than later.
