Should I start Isaac TeSlaa or Jonah Coleman in Week 9?

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Isaac TeSlaa, and the board ranks him 134th overall on the rest of his evidence.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Jonah Coleman, and the board ranks him 135th overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

Isaac TeSlaa's market-based projection is 4.5 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 13 market sources. That is the 134th highest figure of the 225 players with a market-based projection.

The market-based projection for Jonah Coleman is 3.8 PPR points a game off 1 market across 13 market sources. That is 30 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

Jonah Coleman's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.

This season through Week 8

Through Week 8, Isaac TeSlaa has been on the field for 57 percent of DET snaps, drawn 9 percent of the targets and had 6 percent of the red zone chances.

He has taken 4 of the offence's 60 third down targets, had 0 of its 22 chances inside the five and seen 6 of its 30 two minute targets.

His 21 targets have averaged 12.4 air yards.

In Week 5 against ARI he caught 0 of 2 targets for 0 yards and did not score.

In Week 7 against GB he caught 1 of 2 targets for 10 yards and did not score.

In Week 8 against MIN he was not given the ball.

Through Week 8, Jonah Coleman has been on the field for 42 percent of DEN snaps, taken 35 percent of the carries, drawn 9 percent of the targets and had 34 percent of the red zone chances.

He has taken 2 of the offence's 31 third down targets, had 6 of its 13 chances inside the five and seen 0 of its 6 two minute targets.

His 10 targets have come 2.2 yards behind the line of scrimmage on average.

In Week 2 against JAX he carried 10 times for 39 yards, caught 3 of 3 targets for 19 yards and scored 1 touchdown.

In Week 7 against ARI he carried 9 times for 54 yards, caught 2 of 2 targets for 15 yards and did not score.

In Week 8 against KC he carried 11 times for 41 yards, caught 4 of 5 targets for 63 yards and scored 1 touchdown.

Their 2025 seasons

In 2025 Isaac TeSlaa played 17 games and scored 75.9 PPR points, 4.5 a game, finishing WR82.

He caught 16 of 27 targets for 239 yards and 6 touchdowns, with 10 red zone targets.

That came to 1.6 targets a game, a 59 percent catch rate and 14.9 yards a catch.

He was on the field for 38 percent of the snaps in the games he played.

Jonah Coleman is a rookie, so there is no NFL season behind him to price him against.

Side by side

Isaac TeSlaa is a wide receiver and Jonah Coleman a running back, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Isaac TeSlaa is off in Week 6 and Jonah Coleman in Week 10, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

Jonah Coleman has only a partial projection, so the market half of this page is whole for only one of them.
