Limited to rotational role despite elite pass-catching; Payton prefers Dobbins.
RJ HarveyRBDEN
Despite explosive athleticism and elite pass-catching ability in Sean Payton's offense, Harvey is limited to a rotational role due to poor rushing efficiency and running vision. Third-worst success rate as a runner, fourth-worst rushing yards over expectation per attempt; Payton clearly prefers JK Dobbins as the workhorse (15-18 carries per game in first half before Dobbins' injury), with Harvey relegated to mix-and-match spots. Broncos' offseason moves—re-signing Dobbins to lucrative contract and drafting Jonah Coleman early day three—signal team does not view Harvey as capable of high-upside lead role. Will have PPR weeks as pass catcher but lacks volume ceiling.
