Fantasy analysts suggest rostering Jonah Coleman for potential increased carries
Summary

Fantasy football analysts suggest managers add Jonah Coleman to their rosters despite his low ranking for Week 1. While JK Dobbins holds the primary running back position, questions remain regarding his durability. RJ Harvey is also listed on the roster, though analysts express concern over his previous performance. Coleman currently sits at 48th among running backs in Pro Football Network's weekly rankings. The strategy for managers is to hold Coleman as a potential replacement should Dobbins miss time or if his role in the offense shifts under coach Sean Payton. There is no expectation for Coleman to serve as a starter for the upcoming Monday night game, but he is viewed as a player to monitor throughout the 2026 season.

A back sitting 48th among running backs in PFN’s Week 1 rankings rarely makes a Monday night lineup, and Coleman is no exception. The case for him is what happens if Dobbins goes down, not what happens this week.
