Outlook Jonah Coleman
Jonah Coleman at Kansas City — Intriguing Bench Stash Entering Week 1
The rookie enters Week 1 with plenty of preseason buzz, but he opens the year behind J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey in Denver's backfield hierarchy. While recent reports indicate Coleman will carve out a rotational role and handle some early-down touches, Dobbins enters the opener as the clear lead back.
Our weekly projection expects a modest debut, forecasting roughly 3.7 carries for 14 rushing yards and under four fantasy points on the road against Kansas City. Fantasy managers have driven his roster rate up to 46%, making him a high-upside bench stash who should not be started yet.

Jacory Croskey-Merritt at Philadelphia — Injury status clouds Week 1 lead-back role
Croskey-Merritt is currently listed atop Washington's backfield depth chart, but he enters the season opener designated as questionable due to a lower-body injury suffered in late August. With backfield mate Rachaad White also nursing a hamstring issue, the touches could be concentrated if he suits up, though fantasy managers should check back often for final pregame updates on his active status.
If cleared to play, our projections forecast Croskey-Merritt for approximately 10 carries and 47 rushing yards against an Eagles defense on the road, generating around 9.2 fantasy points. Fantasy managers have understandably hesitated given the health uncertainty—starting him in under seven percent of leagues—making him a risky flex option who will likely need to find the end zone to provide strong value.
