Outlook Jonah Coleman
Intriguing Late-Round Handcuff Offering Contingent Upside in Denver
Jonah Coleman turned heads during training camp, earning praise from head coach Sean Payton for his NFL-ready savvy. Entering the season behind J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey on Denver's depth chart, the rookie is positioned to handle situational short-yardage duties while pushing for rotational early-down touches.
Our projections anticipate a complementary role to start, forecasting 105 carries for 450 rushing yards and three touchdowns alongside 15 receptions. While his day-one touch volume will be limited in a shared backfield, Coleman offers significant contingent upside if injuries shake up the depth chart ahead of him.
After early-August buzz pushed his ADP into the mid-150s, his draft cost cooled to around pick 195 as committee realities set in. However, with his rostered rate climbing toward 39%, he has stabilized as an appealing late-round stash and premier value target for patient fantasy managers.

Outlook Mike Washington
Explosive Preseason Emergence Positions Rookie as High-Upside Stash
Drafted in the fourth round, Mike Washington quickly turned heads this preseason by racking up 168 rushing yards on 23 carries. Offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak strongly endorsed the rookie as an ideal scheme fit, and Washington's explosive playmaking has cemented him as the primary backup behind Ashton Jeanty.
Fantasy managers have taken notice, driving Washington's roster rate from negligible numbers in early August up to 64%. His draft cost steadily climbed toward an ADP of 190 after peaking near 167 during preseason action. With a minimal 2% start rate, the market views him strictly as a bench hold, which our analysis flags as an intriguing late-round opportunity.
Our models project Washington for 115 carries, 450 rushing yards, and four rushing touchdowns, alongside 20 receptions for 125 yards. While he enters the season without guaranteed standalone volume, any missed time for the starting backfield would immediately thrust him into high-priority fantasy utility.
