The Denver Broncos selected Washington RB Jonah Coleman in Round 4 of the 2026 NFL Draft. Coleman’s dynasty appeal isn’t tied to one spike season. It’s rooted in three years of steady production, physical running, and usable pass-game skills. He carved out a role early at Arizona before following H C Jedd Fisch to Washington and immediately claiming the No. 1 job. Coleman handled nearly two-thirds of the team’s carries in 2024. And that workload came with elite contact balance and strong yards-after-contact numbers -- despite poor run blocking. Among the 20 RBs invited to the NFL Combine, Coleman ranked 11th in 2025 rushing market share (41.5%), and seventh in yards after contact per attempt (3.58). He ranked seventh in 2025 missed tackles forced per attempt (0.24) and fourth in receiving yards per route run (1.73). He is currently 22 years old.
What They're Saying
Draft Sharks Rookie Guide: “A knee injury impacted his final season, but Coleman still finished with career highs in receptions and yards per route. With a 220-pound frame and experience in a pro-style system, Coleman projects as a player who can contribute early.”
2026 Fantasy Football Impact
Coleman joins a backfield led by second-year RB RJ Harvey and journeyman JK Dobbins. Coleman’s blend of size and receiving makes him a little bit intriguing.
That being said, he remains a tough sell for redraft with Coleman likely starting down the depth chart.
Dynasty Impact
Coleman’s dynasty upside could make him worth considering in the late second round of rookie drafts. His experience and production at Washington show a player who could ascend the depth chart and make an impact.
Harvey had a volatile rookie season, so there could be a path toward Coleman having playing time in 2027.
