All Fantasy Football with Ian Hartitz insights about Jonah Coleman
PositiveRoleOct 30, 2026
With RJ Harvey out, Jonah Coleman gets a significant workload boost and is ranked as the highest running back in the group; trusted more in pass situations than JK Dobbins. Coleman is trending upward with incredible usage in his first week off injured reserve; Coach Sean Payton has indicated Coleman will get the opportunity. Ranked alongside Jordan Mason and Rashad White, just behind Saquon Barkley, despite a tough matchup against the Chiefs. Rushing yards prop over 40.5 positioned as a volume play with JK Dobbins not expected to be a factor.NegativeInjurySep 25, 2026
Jonah Coleman is actively ruled out with an ankle injury for the Broncos in Week 3.NegativeRoleSep 23, 2026
Jonah Coleman is ranked RB37 for the Denver Broncos backfield and is not putting forward the best foot through two weeks, ranking in the bottom left of the yards after contact per carry and tackles avoided per carry chart. However, Ian Hartitz notes that if Coleman is the last man standing with Dobbins and Harvey injured, he would move him inside the top 24 around Baltimore and DeAndre Swift range, potentially even higher. Coleman is continuing to do all the little things right like sliding down in bounds; Hartitz would rank Coleman right next to Harvey around RB30–RB31 if both are healthy.NegativeRoleSep 10, 2026
Ian Hartitz views Jonah Coleman as a low-priority handcuff in the Saints backfield. JK Dobbins is the clear lead running back (paid to be so), R.J. Harvey handles pass-down work, and Coleman would only take carries if Dobbins gets injured. Even then, Hartitz doesn't see enough standalone value to justify the handcuff, as Coleman is the third most used piece of a three-back committee that hasn't been productive under Sean Payton. While Hartitz acknowledges 'Jonah Coleman's good, man,' he declines to drop Woody Marks for Coleman.PositiveDepth ChartSep 3, 2026
Getting a bunch of buzz but viewed as a late-round draft pick by Liam Murphy, suggesting he is not a priority target despite market attention. This positioning reflects his depth chart status behind R.J. Harvey in the Broncos backfield.NegativeRoleAug 24, 2026
Jonah Coleman saw limited action in preseason Week 2 but remains very much involved in the Denver Broncos offense. Ian Hartitz still views him as a mid-tier RB3 with questions about best-case upside, with RJ Harvey's pass-catching role being the more promising path in the backfield.PositiveValueAug 20, 2026
Ian Hartitz fades Jonah Coleman in round nine, noting he is way cheaper than R.J. Harvey but doesn't think Coleman is a great pick. Both Harvey and Coleman are only an injury away from being must-start players, making round nine too steep a price for that handcuff upside; Hartitz prefers to target such injury-dependent upside in double-digit rounds instead.PositiveRoleAug 17, 2026
Looked good in preseason action and was notably pulled for third-and-long situations, suggesting a role in pass blocking and short yardage. Ian Hartitz views Coleman as a limiting factor for both Dobbins and Harvey's production. He doesn't see Coleman as a sleeper and believes he's two injuries away from being trustworthy, suggesting limited standalone fantasy value.PositiveBreakoutAug 9, 2026
Ian Hartitz identifies Jonah Coleman as a significant threat to the Denver backfield hierarchy. Coleman ranked first in a proprietary 'little things' metric (pass blocking, drop rate, fumble rate) during the pre-draft process. As a 220-pound back capable of both short-yardage work and pass catching, he is expected to be a disruptive force in the rotation.NegativeRoleJul 24, 2026
Coleman is the direct handcuff and backup to JK Dobbins at 220 pounds with the best pass protection ability in his draft class. He caught plenty of passes at Washington and represents the Latavius Murray archetype rather than a pure early-down grinder. Hartitz worries that Coleman's skill set—pass protection and receiving ability—combined with his direct handcuff role behind Dobbins, creates a 'three-headed nightmare' in Baltimore's backfield that impacts RJ Harvey's fantasy value from day one. Coleman's versatility makes him a more credible backup than a pure reserve, potentially limiting Harvey's role.PositiveBreakoutJul 16, 2026
Jonah Coleman has an elite resume with 6.8 yards per carry at age 20, 80 catches on 90 targets in his last three years, and second-best yards per route run in his class, and is expected to take over the Broncos backfield quicker than other backup options.NegativeInjuryNo date
Coleman is already on IR, which reduces the Broncos backfield depth and increases the injury risk for the remaining backs like RJ Harvey.PositiveRoleNo date
Jonah Coleman is healthy and ahead of RJ Harvey on the Broncos depth chart. Expected to absorb significant workload if RJ Harvey is unavailable; Ian Hartitz projects him as a borderline RB3/RB4 type in the Broncos offense, which looked poor in week one.
