Most viewed Coleman as a guard, but the Commanders are selecting the 6-foot-4, 313-pound lineman as a tackle. Coleman spent much of his youth in Berlin, Germany playing basketball before moving to Texas where he picked up football. Due to his late introduction to the game Coleman went the JUCO route and developed into the seventh-rated OT from the 2020 class. He immediately carved out an impact role at RT, earning a rock solid 81.1 pass block grade with one pressure allowed over 115 snaps through four games before suffering a season-ending injury. He would go onto toggle between left guard and left tackle for the last three years, starting every game at LT for during TCU’s magical run to the National Championship game in 2022, playing a workman-like 1,007 snaps while achieving a career-high 80th percentile PFF overall grade. Last year he logged 465 reps at left tackle before moving back to guard where he didn’t allow a sack for the third time in four seasons at TCU. His overall level of play dropped as he dealt with the increased movement responsibilities from kicking inside, leading the team with six penalties to go with 20 pressures and a pedestrian 55.5 run block grade. A strong offseason that saw him perform well at the Senior Bowl continued at the Combine where Coleman blew away the offensive line group with a blazing 4.99s 40-yard dash that ranks in the 97th percentile and a similarly impressive 1.73s 10-yard split (94th%). He also tossed up a 34” vert (99th%) and 9’06” broad jump (97th%) that reinforces his near-perfect 9.98 RAS. Long-armed (34.625”) and versatile, Coleman is at his best on the inside where he doesn’t have to worry about ultra-athletic edge rushers smoking him on the loop. Fires off the snap and uses advanced movement ability to lead the way on pulls. He can leave his chest exposed when biting on feints and could stand to develop more cohesive counters. Coleman’s verified traits and athleticism are the kind of attributes NFL offensive line coaches salivate over, and it’s no surprise he goes with a Day 2 selection.

Axios’ Dan Primack reminded Khosla of his stated desire to preserve what Paul Allen built before asking him if he would commit to keeping the Seahawks in Seattle long term. Khosla first responded by saying he would “never say never,” and then rhetorically wondered aloud whether this team would be in Seattle “500 years from now,” before making his “no current plans” remarks. Primack helpfully refocused the conversation on the Lumen Field lease’s 2032 end date, prompting Khosla to say that he doesn’t think he’ll “do anything but learn for a while.” Seriously entertaining a move seems unlikely, but Khosla would do well to provide a more concrete answer to a city that once saw its NBA team relocated after new ownership took over. His comments can be ignored for now. Perhaps this is just an early negotiation tactic for future stadium renovations.

Atkins believes Puka Nacua’s (groin) impending return will lighten the box, in turn making life easier on the run game and preventing the opposition from blitzing as frequently as the Broncos did last week. Corum has not established himself as a reliable weekly contributor in fantasy. Perhaps positive impacts from Nacua’s return trickle down to the Rams’ No. 2 running back. Kyren Williams remains a locked-in starter. Keep Corum stashed for now.

Rapoport also said Donald’s absence is more than just a precautionary measure, and compared his sidelining to the way the Rams handled Myles Garrett’s knee injury, with a long-term view in mind. Check back next week to see if Donald is feeling well enough to resume practicing.

Bagent signed a two-year, $10 million contract extension in August 2025 to serve as the Bears’ No. 2 quarterback. He took the majority of first-team reps this week despite QB3 Case Keenum’s Week 3 heroics. Bagent can be started in Superflex leagues against the Jets, assuming he is officially named the starter this weekend.

James sandwiched a Thursday absence with two limited sessions. The veteran safety plays through injuries whenever possible, and the Chargers will need all hands on deck to get their season back on track.

The Seahawks opened Charbonnet’s practice window on Thursday, but he is not yet ready to return. Charbonnet’s left quad is noticeably thinner than his right quad, and Macdonald explained that there is “a process to get him physically and mentally ready to go.” That said, Macdonald also said the veteran running back “looks fantastic.” Stash him now.

Earlier this week, Chiefs coach Andy Reid said Simmons is dealing with a bulging disc in his lower back. Brutal. On the plus side, CB Chamarri Conner (knee) will make his return.

Mims aggravated his foot injury back in Week 1 and has been inactive on game day since. The Broncos’ volatile performer is back, but is not on the FLEX radar in 12-team formats.

Dobbins practiced in full this week, so he should be ready to handle his typical workload against the 49ers this week. The Broncos’ lead rusher has played very unproductively this season, failing to hit 7.0 PPR points each week. The Broncos’ defensive line has been hit hard by injuries. Perhaps Dobbins can steady himself in the RB2/FLEX ranks against them.

Waddle gave folks a fright, sporting a walking boot after the Broncos’ Week 3 win over the Rams. He practiced in full all week, though, so there are no concerns about his availability. Waddle is a WR2 against the 49ers in what should be a fantasy-friendly game environment.
