Broncos: RBs (excluding the last 10 plays of the game where game was out of hand and rotations got mixed up): JK Dobbins: 62% opp share, 27% route share, no 2min/i10 to report RJ Harvey: 38% opp share, 46% route share Jonah Coleman didn’t see much action Dobbins left the game (no injury) early in the 4th and never returned - game was out of hand JKD willl be game script sensitive so better days ahead and plan to put him in during those easy Broncos wins, which mainly come later in the season...

The source identifies R.J. Harvey as having a significant matchup advantage against the Chiefs' defense, which struggles to defend running backs in the pass game due to coordinator Steve Spagnuolo's chaotic blitz scheme that pressures quarterbacks into quick throws. Harvey will be difficult for linebackers Nick Bolton and Drue Tranquill to cover in the open field, and the source suggests he could hit his receiving yards prop (Over 16.5 yards at -113) on a single play.

The source identifies a glaring weakness in the Chiefs' defense under coordinator Steve Spagnuolo: the inability to defend tight ends and running backs consistently in the pass game due to chaotic blitzes that pressure quarterbacks into quick throws short of the sticks. Running back R.J. Harvey will exploit this weakness against linebackers Nick Bolton and Drue Tranquill in the open field; the source projects Harvey to exceed 16.5 receiving yards and suggests it could take just one play to hit the number.

Harvey was almost useless for fantasy when JK Dobbins was healthy last year, averaging fewer than 10 PPR points per game on just five carries per week. Dobbins out-carried him at the goal line 7-3 before his season-ending injury. Dobbins is back on a two-year, $16 million contract, and the Broncos also drafted Jonah Coleman and hyped him up for much of the summer. The source recommends waiting for a week of data before getting anyone in this situation into lineups.

Harvey was a top-20 RB from Week 11 on last season with double-digit touches in every outing and six total touchdowns, but that production coincided with J.K. Dobbins' season-ending injury. Prior to Dobbins' departure, Harvey averaged just 8.7 PPG with more than seven carries just once; his output was inflated by four receiving touchdowns across a six-week stretch. Dobbins is back and healthy after signing a two-year, $16 million contract with Denver in March and is listed as the starter over Harvey on the unofficial depth chart. Rookie Jonah Coleman adds further competition. Facing the Chiefs defense in Kansas City with a bottom-eight implied total (20.5), Harvey averaged just 11.3 PPG in two games against Kansas City as the lead back last year. Now the No. 2 (at best) in a three-headed backfield, expect less production on Monday night.

Harvey finished last year as RB20, averaging 12.2 PPR fantasy points per game, but needed a featured role in the second half to hit that mark and scored 10.5 or fewer fantasy points in over half his games as the featured guy. Now he will split backfield work with J.K. Dobbins and Jonah Coleman, reducing his volume. More critically, Harvey struggled in both matchups against the Chiefs as a rookie, averaging 12.5 rushing attempts for 36.5 yards, zero touchdowns, and 13.3 fantasy points per game despite Dobbins missing both games. He needed five receptions and a receiving touchdown in Week 17 against a Chiefs team that had given up on the season to score double-digit fantasy points.

RJ Harvey's Week 1 challenge extends beyond Kansas City's fifth-ranked rushing defense to Denver's coaching staff under Sean Payton, known for unpredictable RB rotation usage. Denver added Jonah Coleman in the draft, adding another RB to the mix. OC Davis Webb will call plays, but the source criticizes the inclusion of Adam Prentice with Harvey in the backfield as problematic. The source warns that Payton's historical pattern of keeping fantasy managers guessing about RB usage could prevent Harvey from receiving enough opportunities to deliver in Week 1, despite his talent.
