Fantasy football managers are adjusting their running back strategies for Week 9 as Denver Broncos rookie Jonah Coleman climbs the rankings while veteran Josh Jacobs sees a decline, according to the latest analysis from Sports Illustrated's fantasy football expert Mark Morales-Smith.
Coleman, 20, has shown promise in recent outings, including a notable appearance before the Broncos' game against the Kansas City Chiefs at Empower Field at Mile High. His increased involvement in the offense has boosted his fantasy stock.
Meanwhile, Jacobs, who has been a consistent fantasy producer, faces a tougher matchup or reduced workload that has led to a drop in his projected value for the upcoming week.
The rankings, published on November 3, 2026, aim to guide fantasy owners in setting their lineups for the critical mid-season stretch.
