NegativeInjuryJul 31, 2026
The source has no concerns on R.J. Harvey coming off labral repair in his shoulder, citing very low re-injury risk and very low dip for receiving work. Harvey looks good in the pass game and will split work with Dobbins in the Broncos backfield.NegativeValueJul 28, 2026
The source does not like RJ Harvey, indicating a fade on the running back despite him being available in the draft.PositiveSleeperJul 28, 2026
The source is 'kind of in on Harvey' due to his pass-catching role in Sean Payton's Broncos offense. Harvey is noted as having upside in a split backfield with JK Dobbins and Jonah Coleman, though he'd need Coleman to fizzle and Dobbins to stay healthy. On Sleeper, Harvey is going too early; on FFPC and NFFC platforms, he's been pushed into the 80s and 90s, which the source considers a 'perfectly fine pick' at that price.NegativeRoleJul 25, 2026
Scott Barrett expresses concern that Sean Payton might be moving away from RJ Harvey in the backfield based on his tape from last year, creating uncertainty about his role going forward.NegativeRoleJul 23, 2026
Expected to be number two running back alongside JK Dobbins to open the season, but not on the source's list based on last year's showing and the drafting of Jonah Coleman; had pass protection issues last year that caused Shawn Payton to distrust him; unclear if he's gained trust heading into camp; may not be the lead back, goal line back, or even guaranteed third down back; the source would only draft him contrarian, not based on logic.PositiveSleeperJul 22, 2026
RJ Harvey led all running backs in XFP per route run last season according to Fantasy Points data and is the clear player positioned to play in Broncos passing-down situations. The source notes Harvey goes in the 8th-9th round (RB26 on Sleeper, RB34-RB35 on sharper platforms like FFPC/Underdog) and could take a huge step forward in his second season, though he struggled as a rookie with vision and grasping the offense. The source prefers Harvey at RB34 or later pricing over RB26. Davis Webb's faster-paced play-calling scheme should reduce heavy rotations and keep running backs on the field more consistently, giving Harvey a better chance to produce and capitalize on backfield opportunity.PositiveRoleJul 9, 2026
RJ Harvey is expected to take over the pass-down role for the Broncos, potentially limiting JK Dobbins' receiving opportunities.NegativeValueMay 26, 2026
R.J. Harvey at 84th overall (RB31) is overpriced relative to Kenneth Gainwell—Harvey had 47 receptions as a rookie but faces competition from J.K. Dobbins and Justice Hill.PositiveProjectionMay 19, 2026
Harvey is expected to lead the Broncos backfield in fantasy scoring and is a really strong pick in the 100s ADP, with a chance to be the pass-catching back for the entire year.PositiveProjectionApr 28, 2026
Mentioned as an alternative to Jonah Coleman in tier five; could perform well in Denver if he gets his opportunity.
