Pro Football Focus has ranked the Denver Broncos' backfield as the 24th in the NFL as the 2026 season approaches. Despite missing quarterback Bo Nix last year and dealing with injuries to running back J.K. Dobbins, the Broncos aimed to bolster their rushing attack in the offseason. They re-signed Dobbins and selected rookie Jonah Coleman in the fourth round. PFF expressed concerns about the team's depth and Dobbins' health going forward. The Broncos hope to improve their rushing performance with returning players and new additions, while PFF also noted that the Atlanta Falcons lead their rankings.
