Week 2 results checked September 22, 2026 · 6:30 a.m. MDT. DEN 20, JAX 13 — final. Coleman handled the replacement work after Dobbins left, with Harvey inactive. That makes him a backfield name to monitor, not a confirmed Week 3 starter. Week 2 snap counts are available; route participation and targets per route remain unverified.

THE OFFENSIVE IDENTITY

Denver’s opener unsettled the receiver order.

2025 tendencies · 2026 staff

DEN 20, JAX 13 — final. Coleman handled the replacement work after Dobbins left, with Harvey inactive. That makes him a backfield name to monitor, not a confirmed Week 3 starter. Week 2 snap counts are available; route participation and targets per route remain unverified.

Week 1 replaces the assumption that the listed three-receiver line would also be the fantasy target order. Bryant drew six targets, Sutton five, Waddle three and Mims none; route and snap shares were not verified at this cutoff.

The approach behind the offense

Reported concepts and coaching priorities
OFFENSIVE APPROACH

The passing hierarchy is not settled

Backup-listed Pat Bryant led Denver’s wide receivers with six targets, four catches and 42 yards. Sutton had five targets, Waddle three and Mims none, so the official depth order is not a reliable target forecast.

Source & context ↗
OFFENSIVE APPROACH

Dobbins led carries; Harvey caught passes

Dobbins handled eight carries for 36 yards. Harvey had three carries and caught all four targets for 23 yards, evidence of a receiving role but not an equal rushing split.

Source & context ↗
OFFENSIVE APPROACH

Engram supplied the touchdown

Engram caught four of five targets for 43 yards and Denver’s only touchdown. He remains the cleanest Week 1 receiving result in an offense that produced 176 total yards.

Source & context ↗

Fantasy connection: Coleman handled the replacement work after Dobbins left, with Harvey inactive. That makes him a backfield name to monitor, not a confirmed Week 3 starter.

Sample: 1,073 classified 2025 regular-season plays, all game states. Dropbacks (62.5%) include sacks and scrambles; designed runs exclude scrambles. Kneels, spikes, two-point tries, aborted snaps and nullified plays are excluded. NFL comparisons use the same filters. These are historical rates, not a 2026 play forecast.

Reading the numbers: The 2025 column retains its historical regular-season sample. Week 2 actuals describe the completed 2026 game. No Week 3 forecast is supplied.

Target share: player targets / all recorded team targets. Carry share: player rush attempts / team rush attempts (including QB runs/kneels). Red-zone and goal-line share: player targets + rush attempts inside the opponent 20 / 5 divided by the corresponding team total. Null means unverified, not zero. Preliminary statistics may be corrected.

Week 2 snap counts are available for all 32 teams. Route participation and targets per route remain unverified. Unavailable is not zero.

Availability: Active means on the named game-day roster, not a snap guarantee. Inactive means not playing in that named game. Emergency QB has conditional entry restrictions. Available means not carrying a current out, doubtful or questionable designation in the checked evidence; it does not establish final game-day active status. Pending means clearance for the upcoming game is unconfirmed. Reserve and practice-squad players have distinct roster restrictions. Elevated means added for the specified game.

ReserveCaleb LohnerTE · Reserve/Injured — Designated for Return; remains listed on reserve.

Practice squad: Michael Bandy (WR); Kolbe Katsis (WR); Dane Key (WR); Lucas Krull (TE); Adam Prentice (FB); Cody Schrader (RB). A practice-squad listing does not establish a game-day elevation.
