Broncos RB room: What is J.K. Dobbins' role now that Jonah Coleman has arrived?

A few weeks ago, J.K. Dobbins looked like the clear leader of the Broncos' backfield. Today? That conversation feels very different.

After another explosive performance from rookie Jonah Coleman, it appears the Broncos may be witnessing a changing of the guard at running back. While Dobbins' production has steadily declined, Coleman's role continues to grow, and Sean Payton's offense seems to have found a new spark.

Stokley, Evans, and Mark Schlereth break down what has happened to Dobbins, why Coleman has quickly become one of Denver's most important offensive weapons, and whether the rookie is on his way to becoming the undisputed RB1. The Broncos are 6-2 and leading the AFC West, but one of their biggest position battles may just be getting started.
