Broncos' Running Back Logjam: A Fantasy Football Nightmare

About this episode

Denver Broncos Running Back Logjam: A Fantasy Football Nightmare

The Denver Broncos fourth-round draft pick, Jonah Coleman, has created a running back logjam, with four capable players now in the mix. Coleman, R.J. Harvey, J.K. Dobbins, and Jaleel McLaughlin all have proven workloads, but this setup hurts everyones fantasy football potential.

Colemans solid receiving skills clash with the other threes pass-catching abilities, and his path to touches depends on Harveys health and Dobbins injury history. Dobbins, a 27-year-old vet, loses ground fast, already fading behind rookie Harvey last season. McLaughlins third-down dreams vanish, and he might be traded for a spot with more catches elsewhere.

Harvey remains the lead guy for now, with potential for 200-275 touches, but his boom potential is capped at 26 years old. No one thrives in this four-way split, making it a fantasy lose-lose situation. Broncos fans chasing a Super Bowl have built a nightmare backfield, so keep an eye on injuries to sort the lead dog by training camp.

On April 28th, the Denver Broncos grabbed Jonah Coleman in the fourth round of the NFL draft, turning their running-back room into a total log jam. Now they've got four dudes all capable of heavy carries. Coleman as a true workhorse type, plus RJ Harvey, JK Dobbins, and Jalille McLaughlin each, with proven workloads from college or the pros. Coleman brings solid receiving skills too, which clashes with the other three who can catch passes out the backfield, especially two standouts in that, department. For fantasy players eyeing 2026, his path to touch is depends mostly on Harvey's steady health, and Dobbins' injury history, since Dobbins, has missed big time with nagging issues. This setup hurts everyone's ceiling. Dobbins, a 27-year-old vet who's only played 32 games over five years, loses ground fast, already fading behind rookie Harvey last, season, now with Coleman lurking. McLaughlin's third-down dreams vanish.

He might scrap for third-string scraps, or get traded for a spot with 40 plus catches elsewhere. Harvey stays the league guy for now. Good for 200 plus touches with upside to 275, but at 26 soon, the crowd caps his boom. Potential. No one thrives in this four-way split. Bottom line. Bronkel's fans chasing a Super Bowl built a fantasy lose-lose backfield, keeping eye on injuries to sort the lead dog by training camp.
