Harvey scored 12 touchdowns as a rookie, pushing him into RB2 range, but his regular-season performance belied a mediocre 3.7 yards per carry. The Broncos retained J.K. Dobbins and drafted Jonah Coleman, creating a crowded backfield. Harvey was underwhelming after Dobbins got hurt last year, a slump that cannot be overlooked. Scott Pianowski states Harvey is 'not one of my proactive targets in the middle rounds.'

Freedman is fading RJ Harvey despite surface-level appeal: decent draft capital (Round 2), rookie productivity (896 yards, 12 TDs), and three-down skill set (146 carries, 58 targets). The problems are efficiency and backfield security. Harvey's efficiency was poor at 3.7 yards per carry, and his Utilization Score splits with No. 1 RB J.K. Dobbins reveal the issue: with Dobbins (Weeks 1-10) Harvey scored 42, without Dobbins he scored 77. Critically, the Broncos re-signed Dobbins in free agency (not letting him walk) and drafted Jonah Coleman as the No. 4 RB, signaling no bullish intent for Harvey. Coleman resembles the type of versatile back (Aaron Stecker, Pierre Thomas, Mike Bell, Chris Ivory, Darren Sproles) HC Sean Payton used to force three-man backfield committees with the Saints, suggesting Harvey faces significant downside with insufficient ceiling.

Year-one running back with metric concerns and vision questions that may be overblown. Limited offseason after playoff run and draft process creates discount opportunity if you have conviction on talent. Wait-and-see approach justified given year-one uncertainty.

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.

Despite red flags including a poor end-of-season finish as a rookie, competition from JK Dobbins and round-four draft pick Jonah Coleman, and the source acknowledging he "didn't look great at the end of last season," Harvey is valued as a fine eighth-round pick because he had multiple games with over 20 fantasy points in his rookie year and runs behind arguably the best offensive line in the NFL; Flock Fantasy projects he will be available at pick 86 and plans to take him as RB3, betting that repeating his rookie-season production in year two justifies the selection.

Harvey posted 12.2 PPG and offers more as a pass catcher with open-field ability compared to J.K. Dobbins, but the team also drafted rookie Jonah Coleman. Zachariason sees both Harvey and Dobbins topping out as lower-level flex options in what should be a committee approach this season.

Drafted as RB 35 in FFPC Superflex format; source views as value play despite going behind J.K. Dobbins. Harvey totaled over 800 yards from scrimmage and 12 touchdowns last year; Broncos show willingness to feature him in red zone and passing game—high-value touches. Source notes ceiling may not be as high as initially thought, but early-career passing game involvement is rare and valuable; if he maintains or improves receiving role while Jonah Coleman (rookie) develops, Harvey positioned well.

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.
