Coleman is Denver’s lead running back. The fourth-round rookie sprained an ankle in the Sept. 20 win over Jacksonville but stayed in, per Athlon, and led Denver’s backs with 25 snaps that day, per Yahoo Sports, finishing with 10 carries for 39 yards and his first NFL touchdown. Denver placed him on injured reserve on Sept. 26 and designated him for return on Oct. 21.
RJ Harvey is now on injured reserve after hurting a knee in practice before Week 8, and the backfield has consolidated. Coleman took 41 of Denver’s backfield snaps in Week 8 to J.K. Dobbins’s 13, turning 11 carries into 104 scrimmage yards and the game-winning touchdown, per Sports Illustrated’s snap-count review.
Fantasy Action: As of Wed, Nov 4, start him. Coleman is the Broncos’ RB1 on the depth chart and the most-recommended waiver add of the week across NFL.com, CBS Sports and Sports Illustrated, with J.K. Dobbins the early-down complement behind him.
