From the episode

Jonah Coleman right now is by far my highest exposed player on draft... Denver looked at JK Dobbins and said, Hey, we like you, but we know that you're not durable... they're looking at Jonah Coleman and they're saying, Hey, we tried to rely on you down the stretch at what you, you weren't reliable enough... but Dobbins, they said, Hey, I don't know if you could really carry this workload for us for the entire season.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalBreakout

Zachariason's highest-exposed player; sees Coleman as potential lead-back breakout if Dobbins underperforms.

JJ Zachariason's highest exposed player on draft is Jonah Coleman. His thesis: Denver evaluated JK Dobbins as durable-limited and one-dimensional (non-pass-catcher), so they're positioning Coleman to potentially take over the lead role down the stretch. Coleman was unreliable last year (one of the worst in rushing yards over expected per attempt) but could still see red zone and gadget usage; however, Zachariason sees a path for Coleman to emerge as the lead back if Dobbins falters, making him a high-upside target in best ball.
