Fantasy Football Week 8 Waiver Wire Debate: Jonah Coleman Vs. Bam Knight

The Week 8 waiver-wire debate in fantasy football centers on two backup running backs: Jonah Coleman and Bam Knight. The article frames both as potential FLEX options due to expanded roles, but with different matchup and usage considerations. Coleman, with the Denver Broncos, is set to take on a growing share of early-down touches as his role expands in his rookie season. He had nine carries for 54 yards in Week 7 plus two catches for 15 yards. However, in Week 8 he faces the Chiefs, described as the No. 2 scoring defense. Knight, meanwhile, has benefited from injuries in Arizona’s backfield, outperforming Tyler Allgeier over the past two games while averaging 6.1 yards per carry versus Allgeier’s 2.3. Dallas ranks 31st against the run.
