R.J. Harvey is David Montgomery's third or fourth highest drafted running back at 16% ADP. Sophomore running backs like Gibbs showed boom-bust rushing in year one but made big improvements in year two success rate; Harvey was a good prospect with some boom-bust tendencies as a bounce-it-outside runner, but has potential to improve in year two and can pay off current ADP as an explosive receiver and runner even without rushing improvement.NegativeValueJul 27, 2026
In the source's main event best ball draft, Jonathan Brooks was selected in the 7th round ahead of RJ Harvey, reflecting a preference for Brooks' upside and role opportunity over Harvey at that ADP.NegativeValueJul 23, 2026
Harvey was drafted ahead of Brooks in the main event but has since moved up to the sixth round, while Brooks remains in the seventh; this ADP divergence reflects market repricing of the two Carolina backs.NegativeRoleMar 28, 2026
RJ Harvey is cited as a cautionary example of a young back who was inconsistent and boom-bust as a rookie, causing the team to lose trust and prevent him from leading the backfield heading into year two. The source notes uncertainty about whether Harvey is actually good and whether the team trusts him after his rookie season, illustrating the risk of inconsistency in young backs and how NFL teams respond by bringing in competition rather than committing to the young prospect.PositiveValueAug 10, 2025
The source identifies RJ Harvey as an unusual bet at his current draft price, easier to acquire than in a stronger running back class where he might be a fourth-round pick. Harvey is positioned as a key unlock for the robust running back draft strategy, fitting alongside Henderson as one of two guys available at value that make the strategy work. Currently the fifth-best running back on the Denver Broncos depth chart.PositiveMatchupAug 10, 2025
The source identifies RG Harvey as a slam-dunk recommendation for week 17 scoring advantage, describing the edge as "not particularly close." This positions Harvey as a strong late-season pivot with playoff-week upside.PositiveValueAug 10, 2025
Primary unlock for robust running back draft strategy; available in early sixth round with strong camp performance and impressive coaching feedback. The source values Harvey for his week 17 upside trajectory rather than week 1 production, positioning him as a backloaded asset that allows roster construction around elite early-round backs while maintaining late-season scoring potential. Harvey is compared favorably to Chuba Hubbard for week 17 scoring—the source describes Harvey as a "slam dunk" for week 17 points, stating "it's not particularly close." Harvey fits exactly the needs of draft structures requiring every running back to make it count early and late in the season.
