PositiveRoleOct 28, 2026
Lead back returning from high ankle sprain IR stint, already established as the lead back in his first game back; projects 36.5 rushing yards; played 28 snaps last week compared to JK Dobbins' 12 snaps; outrushed Dobbins 9–6 and saw more targets; the source prefers Coleman over Dobbins rest of season, noting Coleman 'gives him a little bit of juice that JK Dobbins just clearly does not have in his bag right now' and signals 'slowly in the transition of the changing of the guard.'PositiveBreakoutOct 27, 2026
Rookie RB returns from IR and immediately becomes 1A in Denver backfield, stealing job from JK Dobbins. Plays 50% of snaps (leads backfield) and has 50% of backfield opportunities (9 carries, 2 targets). Elite efficiency metrics: 6 yards per carry, 27 yards after contact, 2 missed tackles forced; passes eye test with strong running. Coach Sean Payton stated post-game, 'Coleman looks like he has the juice' and 'We need to get this guy more touches.' Role expected to expand with goal-line and receiving work still available. Malik Willis recommends prioritizing Coleman as top waiver wire pickup heading into week 8, with suggested FAB budget allocation of 15-18% (or more aggressive if running back help is critical), citing the running back landscape as 'disgusting' and positioning Coleman as the clear priority given his role expansion trajectory and the Broncos' improving offensive performance.PositiveBreakoutOct 20, 2026

Jonah Coleman is a priority waiver wire add (suggested 12-14% FAAB bid) due to his explosive play and potential for a larger role.

Fourth-round draft pick by Denver brought in as contingency insurance behind JK Dobbins.
