RJ Harvey has hit 20+ PPR points in three of his last four games since the bye week, exemplifying how negative advance rate players in the fantasy regular season can explode in playoff weeks and create upset potential for lower-seeded teams. In Week 16, he recorded 7 carries for 50 yards and 1 TD plus 5 targets for 4 catches and 71 yards—20+ PPR on just 11 touches—showcasing an explosive, high-receiving-ceiling role under Shawn Payton. He has been great as a rookie receiver, though he suffered a banged-up injury last night.PositiveUsageDec 15, 2025
Despite getting banged up and fumbling in week 16 against a strong Packers defense, RJ Harvey maintained 20 opportunities (19 carries, 65 yards, 1 TD) for 10.5 PPR points.

RJ Harvey looks like a potential league winner after a breakout Week 15 performance: 68% snap share (up from 46% the week before), 17 carries for 75 yards and a touchdown, season-high 6 targets with 6 catches for 25 yards, and over 20 total opportunities. His PFF grade jumped to 72.4, and he's averaging 17.1 points per game since JK Dobbins got hurt. However, his next three matchups (Green Bay, Jacksonville, Kansas City) are very tough.
