Should I Start Jonah Coleman?

Saturday, October 24, 11:03 AM

Denver Broncos running back Jonah Coleman (ankle) is worth adding in 12-team leagues for his potential to earn a larger role, but he is a stash and not a recommended Week 7 starter, even with Tyler Badie (thumb) ruled out and an opportunity to rejoin the backfield in Week 7. Coleman practiced fully throughout the week and is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Arizona Cardinals, pending activation from injured reserve. Before his injury, the rookie played 40.3% of Denver's offensive snaps against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 2, rushing 10 times for 39 yards and a touchdown while adding three receptions for 19 yards. That workload came with RJ Harvey sidelined and J.K. Dobbins leaving the game early, and both remain part of Denver's backfield, although Dobbins has averaged just 3.3 yards per carry on 81 attempts this season. Head coach Sean Payton has also indicated that he will be mindful of Coleman's workload in his first game back.
