Expert takes
“While pass-protection struggles and zero early-game usage limit his immediate floor, Coleman is an elite handcuff positioned to inherit Denver’s backfield in 2027.”
Vernon Meighan· Sep 23, 2026“Dobbins dealing with hamstring issues, Jonah Coleman led the Broncos’ backfield in snaps on Sunday. He looked solid, too, turning 10 carries and three targets into 13.3 points thanks to a goal-line score. The issue is that both Dobbins and Harvey should be back sooner rather than later.”
Ted Chmyz· Sep 23, 2026“He also liked to get his running backs involved in the passing game, and Coleman has shown promise as both a pass-catcher and a pass-blocker. We’ll update our assessment of Coleman after the Monday-night game, but keep him on your radar.”
Pat Fitzmaurice· Sep 14, 2026

“Coleman is caught in the muddy backfield with no defined role, which makes him more of a bench stash than someone we can start early in the season.”
Rich Hribar· Sep 9, 2026“Jonah Coleman walks into the Denver depth chart as the RB3 with the ability to climb the depth chart. If J.K. Dobbins is unable to stay healthy this year, Coleman could assume the early down duties opposite R.J. Harvey.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 28, 2026“Coleman is a wonderful late-round dart to toss in fantasy drafts in 2026.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 26, 2026“Not a burner, but a decisive, compact runner who bounces off contact well, Coleman has already earned real trust in pass protection from his new head coach, a critical factor for playing time under that specific staff.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 22, 2026“Coleman has arguably the best blend of rushing and receiving skills in Denver’s backfield.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 22, 2026
“The routes are a huge development for Bucky Irving, because those routes were where Gainwell was supposed to make hay this season, and where he was supposed to take from Irving. Instead, Irving dominated the routes run, and left Gainwell with almost nothing to do while Irving finished with 93 total yards and a touchdown. The touchdown, thankfully, came from well outside the five-yard line, so we had no chance to see a Gainwell potentially steal a goal-line carry from Bucky.”
Jeff Krisko· Sep 13, 2026“Bucky Irving and Kenny Gainwell have pass-catching chops, and the Bengals were flamed through the air by running backs. Cincinnati ranked tied for 23rd in receptions allowed per game (4.6), 29th in receiving yards allowed per game (41.8), 27th in yards per target (7.26), and allowed seven receiving touchdowns to running backs in 2026.”
Josh Shepardson· Sep 10, 2026“The addition of Kenny Gainwell will cut into Irving’s passing-down work, too.”

“Gainwell could easily return RB2 value in 2026 if everything falls in his favor. He definitely carries more fantasy appeal in PPR formats, though.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 26, 2026“Gainwell will play a prominent role for his new team (Tampa Bay) this season as a complement to Bucky Irving . Irving has had a substantial list of injuries that he has dealt with during his short career, so I wouldn’t be surprised if Gainwell is leading the backfield some weeks in 2026 with a solid standalone role when Irving is active. Gainwell could easily return RB2 value in 2026 if everything falls in his favor.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 4, 2026“Gainwell will play a prominent role for his new team (Tampa Bay) this season as a complement to Bucky Irving.”
FantasyPros Staff· Jul 23, 2026“Kenneth Gainwell was an integral part of the Pittsburgh backfield last year for the entire season, but he really hit his stride in Weeks 11-18 as the RB7 in fantasy points per game with 13.3 touches and 85 total yards per game. Gainwell could easily return RB2 value in 2026 if everything falls in his favor.”
FantasyPros Staff· Jun 23, 2026“Gainwell is now in Tampa Bay and will operate as the 1B to Bucky Irving's 1A. Coming off the board with an ADP of RB32, Gainwell could smash if he sees a similar workload to what he had a year ago in Pittsburgh.”
Wolf Trelles-Heard· Jun 20, 2026“Baker Mayfield expressed his immense respect for Gainwell, praising him as "somebody that I've respected from afar when he was Philly and the Steelers." Mayfield noted that Gainwell "is a sharp kid who's always been able to do pass protection stuff" and that "in Pittsburgh he actually balled out," adding that "we're lucky because he's extremely sharp, a great leader, can do everything you ask for."”
Tony Camino· Jun 19, 2026“Kenneth Gainwell could back-door-cover his way into RB1 territory. Gainwell may have to channel former Buccaneers backs Leonard Fournette and Rachaad White for this to happen.”
Ellis Johnson· Jun 11, 2026“Gainwell had five red-zone rushing touchdowns, with four coming from inside the 5-yard line. Gainwell is the RB37 in FantasyPros' expert consensus rankings (ECR), which is similar to his current best ball average draft position (ADP).”
Tom Strachan· Jun 8, 2026“Gainwell was signed by Tampa in free agency after they elected to let Rachaad White walk. Gainwell is coming off a career year — 114 rush attempts and 85 targets, as well as being voted the Steelers' team MVP.”
Tom Strachan· Jun 8, 2026“The Buccaneers have replaced White with an even more threatening receiving veteran in Kenneth Gainwell. Gainwell ranked fourth among all backs in receptions in 2025, trailing only Christian McCaffrey, Bijan Robinson and Jahmyr Gibbs.”
Ted Chmyz· May 25, 2026“Tampa Bay signed RB Kenneth Gainwell this offseason, who figures to be the second in line for touches behind Irving. Robinson said Gainwell is a true pro with outstanding tape from his time in Philadelphia, and Bucs RB coach Skip Peete added that Gainwell brings versatility to both the run game and pass game, with good skills in catching and pass protection.”
Wyatt Grindley· May 19, 2026“Kenneth Gainwell might be paid next year by either Pittsburgh or another team. The dual-threat RB is not even 27 years old, and he THRIVED as both a rusher/receiver in 2025. He was fifth in rushing success rate, RB20 in fantasy PPG, and averaged more PPG than both Seahawks RBs and Broncos' rookie RB, RJ Harvey. Gainwell totaled 73 catches for 486 yards on 85 targets with eight TDs. Over 1,000 yards from scrimmage. 16% target share (top 5).”
