Fantasy Football Dynasty Rookie Draft Advice: Jonah Coleman

My RB2 throughout the whole process, Jonah Coleman slipped to Round 4 and landed with the Denver Broncos. It’s a nice fit in theory, going to a coach who loves to scheme up his running backs in the passing game. Unfortunately, the RB room is crowded with J.K. Dobbins and R.J. Harvey, who was drafted in Round 2 last year, already entrenched as the 1-2 punch. Coleman is a compact bruiser with a three-down skillset and gives Denver some insurance should Harvey or Dobbins go down. In dynasty rookie drafts, he’s a mid-to-late second-round target for managers hunting for RB depth, while Dobbins and Harvey managers would be smart to go after Coleman as a handcuff for their roster.

DBro’s NFL Draft Scouting Report & Player Comp: Jonah Coleman

Scouting Report:

Coleman has underrated power for his stature. He has average burst and pin balls off incoming defenders. His strong lower half serves him well as an interior runner. Coleman has good vision with plus short-area agility as he weaves through the second level of a defense with solid finishing power.
Coleman is a one-speed runner who gets up to top gear quickly, but he lacks a home run gear. He could easily be a solid chunk gain author in the NFL, but the 60-yard knockout punches likely won’t be there. His vision and agility in a phone booth are how he wins with the ball in his hands.
Coleman has some WOW moments on film in pass pro. He can anchor well with a solid base and has picked up some defenders off the ground in pass pro. Coleman will be a quarterback’s best friend in the NFL with his pass-pro skills. Across 278 collegiate pass pro snaps, he allowed only three sacks (one in his final three seasons) and nine hurries.
He’s a trusted receiving option in the passing game with only one drop in college. He finished top-24 in yards per route run in two of his last three seasons (minimum 20 targets).
Coleman was proficient with a diet of flat routes and swing passes. He could expand his route tree in the NFL and become more of a weapon through the air, but his long speed limitations will probably cap his ceiling.
