Start Jonah Coleman: 52 percent of the snaps and 42 percent of the carries over their last 3 games, against Tyjae Spears's 39 percent of the snaps and 8 percent of the carries. No market projection is posted on either of them this week, so this is a usage call, and a lower confidence one than a call made on a projection. What follows is what each of them has done.

Their 2025 seasons

He carried 72 times for 283 yards and 2 touchdowns, and caught 45 of 50 targets for 264 more yards.
That came to 5-6 carries a game at 3.9 yards a carry and 3-4 catches a game.

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