The Broncos activated rookie running back Jonah Coleman from injured reserve on Saturday, clearing him to return in week 7 against the Cardinals after he missed four games with an ankle injury. Coleman, a fourth-round pick out of Washington, last played in week 2 against the Jaguars, when he recorded 58 scrimmage yards and a touchdown, and was designated to return Wednesday after getting back to practice. In a corresponding move, the Broncos have sent Tyler Badie to injured reserve.

At 5’8″ and 220 pounds, Coleman pairs a physical profile with encouraging early production, posting a 112.3 rushing Explosive Rating and a 25.8% College Dominator (62nd percentile). Prior to his week 2 injury, he looked poised to take over the Broncos’ backfield, now he is expected to rejoin a backfield led by J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey. Despite posting back-to-back RB13 and RB15 finishes, Dobbins failed to exceed a 54% snap share at any point during Coleman’s absence, leaving plenty of volume on the table. Fantasy football managers should keep an eye on snap counts, which will determine which back carries the most value from here.
