Broncos RB JK Dobbins ran 18 times for 68 yards (3.8 yards per carry) and a TD in Sunday’s 23-17 win over the Chargers. His longest run went for 14 yards. He added 2 catches for 6 yards on 2 targets, finishing with 15.4 PPR points. RJ Harvey ran just 3 times for 7 yards and didn’t catch his only target. Tyler Badie chipped in 1 carry and 1 catch.

Broncos HC Sean Payton is taking over offensive play-calling duties for Sunday's game vs. the Chargers. The news was initially reported by former NFL WR Brandon Stokley and has since been confirmed by Pro Football Talk. Denver's offense has been a major disappointment with OC Davis Webb calling plays over the first four weeks.

The Broncos placed RB Jonah Coleman on IR, knocking him out for the next 4 games. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Coleman suffered a high-ankle sprain in the Week 2 win over the Jaguars but is expected back when first eligible in Week 7. This injury frustratingly went unreported after last Sunday's game, and the severity went unreported until now. Coleman is worth keeping stashed on fantasy rosters if possible, but he won't have a chance to be a factor until the second half of the season. RBs J.K. Dobbins and R.J. Harvey are safer short-term fantasy bets with Coleman out.

Broncos RBs J.K. Dobbins (hip) and R.J. Harvey (hamstring) are off the final injury report for Sunday night’s game vs. the Rams. Both guys were full participants in practice on Thursday and Friday. RB Jonah Coleman (ankle) has been ruled out, so this backfield should look similar in terms of workload split to Week 1, when Dobbins out-carried Harvey 8 to 3 but Harvey saw all 4 RB targets.

Broncos RBs J.K. Dobbins (hip) and R.J. Harvey (hamstring) were upgraded to full participants in Thursday's practice. RB Jonah Coleman (ankle) remained sidelined. It's looking like it'll be Dobbins and Harvey in Denver's backfield vs. the Rams this weekend. They'll both be in play as RB3 or flex options.

Add Jonah Coleman to the list of injured Broncos RBs. Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, Coleman sprained an ankle in the Week 2 win over the Jaguars. His status for Sunday's game vs. the Rams is uncertain. Meanwhile, RB R.J. Harvey is "making progress" with his hamstring injury, and the Broncos "received good news" on RB J.K. Dobbins' hamstring, according to Schefter. Dobbins is expected to practice this week, which seemingly puts him in line to play against the Rams. We'll see if this muddy backfield clears up at all over the next few days.

Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins suffered a hamstring injury in the second half Sunday's game vs. the Jaguars. He's officially questionable to return, but don't expect to see him back out there. With RB R.J. Harvey inactive with his own hamstring injury, Denver is down to RBs Jonah Coleman and Tyler Badie.

Broncos RB R.J. Harvey (hamstring) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Jaguars. RBs J.K. Dobbins, Jonah Coleman, and Tyler Badie are active. Dobbins figures to control rushing work but will likely cede passing-down snaps to Coleman and Badie. Dobbins checks in 28th in the Week 2 RB rankings.

Broncos RB R.J. Harvey (hamstring) is "unlikely" to play vs. the Jaguars today, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Harvey is listed as questionable after getting in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. He led Denver's backfield with a 53% snap rate and 45% route rate in trailing game script last week, finishing with 3 carries and 4 targets. Harvey's absence would be a slight boost to RB J.K. Dobbins' Week 2 outlook. But expect a role for RB Jonah Coleman, and RB Tyler Badie to potentially play a passing-down role.

Broncos RB R.J. Harvey (hamstring) is questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Jaguars. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday after sitting out on Wednesday. The hamstring adds risk to a player who was already a fringe fantasy starter. Harvey’s absence would be a slight boost to RB J.K. Dobbins and likely mean a role for rookie RB Jonah Coleman.

Broncos RB R.J. Harvey (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. He seemed to make it out of Monday night's loss to the Chiefs ok, so this could just be a rest day on a short week. We'll see if Harvey gets back on the field tomorrow. His absence would be a boost to RB J.K. Dobbins and give RB Jonah Coleman a chance at more reps vs. the Jaguars this weekend.

Zac Stevens of theDNVR.com broke down the Broncos' backfield outlook Thursday on Ari Meirov's podcast and confirmed what we've been suspecting for the RB roles. That includes RJ Harvey occupying the same role he played before Dobbins went down last year, even if Dobbins goes down again.

After dealing with a soft tissue injury during training camp, Broncos head coach Sean Payton says that J.K. Dobbins is moving well and ready to go for the season, per Chris Tomasson of the Denver Gazette. Dobbins appears to be a full-go as the team opens their season next Monday night against the Chiefs.

Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins took part in individual drills Tuesday, according to The Denver Gazette's Chris Tomasson, before spending the rest of practice on the sideline. He's dealing with a soft-tissue injury he suffered Monday.

Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins left Monday's practice with what HC Sean Payton called a soft-tissue injury. Payton didn't offer any more details and didn't sound overly concerned, but this certainly bears monitoring with Dobbins' lengthy injury history.
