Dobbins re-signing and Coleman draft pick create backfield committee risk.
Freedman is fading RJ Harvey despite surface-level appeal: decent draft capital (Round 2), rookie productivity (896 yards, 12 TDs), and three-down skill set (146 carries, 58 targets). The problems are efficiency and backfield security. Harvey's efficiency was poor at 3.7 yards per carry, and his Utilization Score splits with No. 1 RB J.K. Dobbins reveal the issue: with Dobbins (Weeks 1-10) Harvey scored 42, without Dobbins he scored 77. Critically, the Broncos re-signed Dobbins in free agency (not letting him walk) and drafted Jonah Coleman as the No. 4 RB, signaling no bullish intent for Harvey. Coleman resembles the type of versatile back (Aaron Stecker, Pierre Thomas, Mike Bell, Chris Ivory, Darren Sproles) HC Sean Payton used to force three-man backfield committees with the Saints, suggesting Harvey faces significant downside with insufficient ceiling.

That's not at all a bullish indicator for Harvey, nor is the fact that the Broncos (despite not obviously needing another RB) decided to select Jonah Coleman this offseason as the No. 4 RB in the draft. With all that together, Harvey has way more downside and not as much ceiling.
