2026 Outlook

Coleman was a 2026 4th-round pick by the Broncos and slots as RB3 behind J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey. Sean Payton directly compared him to Dobbins as a runner, hinting at solid running talent. The Broncos explicitly decided not to trade for Alvin Kamara—a declining 30-year-old—preferring to develop Coleman alongside their current depth chart. Coleman's fantasy value for 2026 is modest as the #3 back, but he offers strong dynasty potential if injuries open opportunity (per Broncos named prime trade candidate for a player who makes no sense anymore).

Coleman is a legitimate three-down back prospect with elite pass-blocking ability already in place, standing 5-8 and weighing 220 pounds—a David Montgomery body type that profiles as a complete rusher between the tackles. If Dobbins' injury history resurfaces or Harvey fails to improve efficiency, Coleman could see legitimate RB1 carries in a supporting role (per 4 Broncos who could become Denver's biggest surprises in 2026).

Role / Depth Chart

RB3 for Denver Broncos. Threatens Tyler Badie's passing-down role due to superior receiving ability and pass-blocking skills.
