Thursday's Take


Diamonds in the Rough
My first dart throw for this fantasy season is without a doubt the Broncos running back Jonah Coleman (ADP 175, RB50). Although he joins what would appear to be a crowded backfield in Denver with incumbent JK Dobbins and 2nd year back RJ Harvey, I like Coleman's chances to come out on top or at least be a consistent contributor by mid-season.

Coleman is a talented running back with strong physical traits. His last three seasons of college experience, the final two coming at the University of Washington, showcased his high productivity totaling more than 1,000 scrimmage yards in each. With notable solid pass-blocking skills and the ability to be an effective pass-catcher, Coleman clearly has a pathway to the field.

In his brief appearances in this preseason, Coleman displayed some of that low center of gravity and tremendous balance, paired with his excellent ability to break tackles that he showcased in college. Just going by the eye test, he definitely caught my eye and showed some flash that has been missing from the Broncos ground attack.


I believe Coleman possesses the talent and skill that will be hard to keep him off the field. Once on the field, his performance will keep him there. I like the pieces the team currently has in place, but Coleman feels like a difference maker and turns out the great Matthew Berry agrees with me, that Coleman will take over lead duties in the second half of the season. There should be room enough for all three to be fantasy relevant, but Coleman will be the lead horse by mid-season.

He's a must have in dynasty drafts and absolutely worth the risk in redrafts around the .

That's My Take
