Harvey ranked 3rd in receiving EPA but lacks pass-blocking skills; not a true three-down weapon.
Harvey is the better receiving option in PPR formats, averaging 7.6 yards per reception (17th among qualifying running backs) and 1.4 yards per route run (7th). He finished third in receiving Expected Points Added (EPA) behind only Christian McCaffrey and Bijan Robinson. However, the source cautions that portraying Harvey as a true 'three-down weapon' is 'aspirational marketing more than an accurate description of his current role.' Denver rarely deployed him on obvious passing downs due to subpar pass-blocking skills (Pro Football Focus ranked him dead last among qualifying Power 5 backs for the 2024 season). In Weeks 11-18, while Harvey saw an increase in third-down work (18 of 34 RB opportunities), his overall share of backfield work was actually lower than what he and Dobbins combined for in the first half of the year.
