Fantasy Football Player Notes

In Week 7, Jonah Coleman led the backfield in snaps (50%), rushing attempts (nine, 34.6%), and was second in route share (21.9%), running one less route than RJ Harvey. Coleman finished with 11 touches and 69 total yards. Last week, his role grew further with RJ Harvey out. Coleman finished with 15 touches and 104 total yards (RB12 for the week) with a 67.9% snap rate, a 47.8% rushing share, and a 50% route share (12.5% target share). This season, among 58 qualifying rushers, Coleman is first in explosive run rate and 19th in missed tackle rate. Coleman is a wonderful fantasy option this week, and he could continue to crush. Over their last five games, Carolina has allowed the tenth-highest explosive run rate, the ninth-highest yards before contact per attempt, and the fourth-highest missed tackle rate.

Over the last two games, with Jonah Coleman leading the way, J.K. Dobbins has seen his role reduced. In those games, Dobbins has had a 22% offensive snap rate with 6.5 rushing attempts and 18 rushing yards per game. Dobbins is a low-end, touchdown-dependent flex until that changes. Over their last five games, Carolina has allowed the tenth-highest explosive run rate, the ninth-highest yards before contact per attempt, and the fourth-highest missed tackle rate.
