Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton said that rookie second-round running back RJ Harvey will "have a bigger role this week," according to Zac Stevens of DNVR Sports. "He'll have more opportunities in this game. He's built to last, and that's important," McVay added. Lead back J.K. Dobbins suffered a foot injury late in last Thursday's 10-7 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, and the Broncos are considering placing him on Injured Reserve, which would sideline him for at least four games. Denver doesn't have a great matchup against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs, who are coming off their bye, this Sunday, but Harvey's increased volume alone will give him RB2 upside in fantasy football in Week 11. With Dobbins likely out this weekend, Tyler Badie should jump up into the RB2 role, with Jaleel McLaughlin probably being active as the No. 3.

Denver Broncos rookie second-round running back RJ Harvey is coming off an underwhelming performance in the Week 10 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, but his fantasy stock may be reaching a high point going into a big Week 11 divisional clash against the Kansas City Chiefs. Lead back J.K. Dobbins suffered a foot injury last Thursday night and may be forced to Injured Reserve, which would keep him out at least four games. In three games before Thursday's lackluster offensive performance by the Broncos, Harvey had 13 carries for 51 yards and two touchdowns while adding seven receptions for 58 yards and three touchdowns through the air. With it looking likely that Dobbins will miss time regardless, Harvey is on the verge of lead-back duties for the Broncos. If he's available on your league's waiver wire, scoop him up immediately.

Denver Broncos rookie running back RJ Harvey fell back down to earth as the offense struggled to produce much in Thursday's 10-7 win against their division rival, the Las Vegas Raiders. The Broncos' rookie running back rushed for nine yards on four carries while catching two of three targets for nine yards in Thursday's victory. Harvey had scored subsequently over the past three weeks, but the Broncos only produced 10 points as a unit on Thursday night. Counterpart J.K. Dobbins has been dominating the backfield touches and continued to do so, out-touching Harvey 19-6 in this matchup. There was a red zone possession that Harvey seemed to be featured on, but with the lack of offensive scoring this week, it was hard for him to unlock his weekly scoring upside. Despite a disappointing performance on Thursday, Harvey remains a high-end FLEX play and will look to bounce back against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 11.

Denver Broncos running back RJ Harvey will look to continue his touchdown streak Thursday night against the Las Vegas Raiders as he enters Week 10 leading the Broncos' backfield in scores on the season with six. In Week 9 against the difficult Houston Texans defense, Harvey continued to prove head coach Sean Payton right with his dynamic usage in the passing game, catching all five of his targets for 51 receiving yards and a touchdown. This marks the second game this season in which Harvey has seen five targets in a game, and his third straight game in which he has had at least one touchdown. As RotoBaller's RB23 overall on the week, start Harvey with confidence as an RB2 with weekly scoring upside.

Dynasty | Broncos running back RJ Harvey had five rushing yards, five catches, 51 receiving yards and a touchdown in a win against the Texans. Dynasty Analysis: Harvey (7 touches) is still playing a pretty distant second fiddle to JK Dobbins (16 touches) but he's starting to make some pretty big plays. Harvey seems destined to be a boom-or-bust option the rest of the way this season but could be a major player if Dobbins doesn't come back to Denver. At this point, he looks like a solid buy low option in dynasty leagues.

Dynasty | Broncos running back RJ Harvey had 46 rushing yards, one catch, five receiving yards and three touchdowns in a win against Dallas. Dynasty Analysis: Harvey was out-touched by JK Dobbins 17-8 but found his way into the end zone three times. It was the best-case scenario for the rookie runner and while he's still clearly playing second fiddle to Dobbins, we can see the talent starting to translate. Harvey remains a good buy-low candidate and his rookie ranking and ADP will surely rise after this week's explosion.

Denver Broncos rookie running back R.J. Harvey had the best game of his young NFL career in Week 8 against the Dallas Cowboys, recording 51 yards from scrimmage and three touchdowns on eight total touches. Harvey had been held to 57 scrimmage yards and one touchdown over his last three games combined entering Week 8, so his outburst is a welcome sign for fantasy managers. Still, there's reason to doubt that Harvey's big game is a sign of things to come. Veteran Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins still earned more than double Harvey's touches (17 to eight) against Dallas. Additionally, outside of a 40-yard run, Harvey recorded just 11 yards on his other seven touches combined. The Broncos have a much tougher matchup in Week 9 against the Houston Texans, which may mean Harvey will remain tough for fantasy managers to trust as a starter.

Denver Broncos running back R.J. Harvey has been a minimal factor in the team's offense recently, giving way to a heavy workload from veteran J.K. Dobbins. Harvey had zero rushing yards on four carries last weekend, but he did salvage his fantasy performance with a touchdown catch. The rookie hasn't been a major scoring threat this year, though, ranking as the overall RB3 with fewer than 7.5 fantasy points (PPR) in each of his last three games. Furthermore, Harvey has played fewer than one-third of the snaps in each of his last three contests, as well as six of seven games this year. The UCF product's fantasy value has become highly dependent on breaking off a big play or scoring a touchdown. That could certainly happen this week against a Cowboys defense allowing the most total offense in 2025, but managers also need to remember that Dobbins has a firm grasp on the lead-back role in this backfield. Harvey ranks as low-floor RB3/flex against the Cowboys, who have allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing running backs in 2025.

Dynasty | Broncos running back RJ Harvey had four rushing yards, four catches and 21 receiving yards in a win against the Jets. Dynasty Analysis: JK Dobbins struggled today but it still didn't open the door for Harvey, who simply looks like a player who is going to take a redshirt season. It could create a solid trade window for him but it really looks like a JK Dobbins injury (not something that seems far-fetched) is going to need to happen for him to emerge. He remains a hold or buy low target in dynasty leagues but is nowhere near lineups at the moment.

Denver Broncos rookie running back RJ Harvey was able to earn a season-best 41% of snaps in Week 4 against the Cincinnati Bengals. However, this was due to replacing J.K. Dobbins for the majority of the 4th quarter in a blowout win. The rookie running back will look to carve out a role against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. While Harvey will increasingly develop confidence in the coaching staff and through his own experience on the field, it's likely that, barring an injury to Dobbins, he will continue to be a change-of-pace back in closer games. The explosive rookie is developing some standalone value as a flex starter. Still, Dobbins' strong performances might continue to hold him back from reaching his actual ceiling as a talented 2nd round pick. Harvey is considered a solid FLEX play and is currently RB34 in the latest RotoBaller Week 5 rankings.

Denver Broncos running back RJ Harvey was more involved in his team's game plan this week, although some of that may have been since the game was decided early. He took a career-high 14 carries in Week 4 after totaling just 13 carries in his first three games and only getting two carries in Week 3. He turned those carries into 58 rushing yards and added a career-high four catches as well for 40 more yards and his first NFL touchdown. It was an easy walk-in score on a 12-yard dropoff pass with just under five minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. He played 41% of his team's snaps, getting almost a 50-50 split with J.K. Dobbins, who also remained effective. In close games, Dobbins still may get more work, but Harvey's strong showing could earn him increased chances going forward. In Week 5, the Broncos have a tough road matchup with the Eagles.

Denver Broncos offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi said that the team would like to get running backs J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey 20 carries per game if that were realistic because the team "likes each of them that much." The Broncos have had nothing but good things to say about Harvey, whom they drafted in the second round for a reason this year. However, despite the Broncos continuing to say they want a bigger role for Harvey, he's been stuck behind the veteran Dobbins in the RB pecking order through three weeks. The rookie's snap share has not gone over 33%, either, with Dobbins seeing a season-high 67% of the offensive snaps in the Week 3 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Harvey was an afterthought last week, carrying the ball twice for two yards, although he did catch a season-high three passes for 14 yards. Until further notice, the 24-year-old can't be considered anything more than a low-volume, low-upside RB3/flex in deeper fantasy leagues.

Dynasty | Broncos running back RJ Harvey had two carries for two yards, adding three catches for 14 yards in a loss to the Chargers. Dynasty Analysis: JK Dobbins again out-touched Harvey as it was a 12-5 distribution this week. Harvey has shown some good juice but Dobbins has simply been better thus far and has seemingly earned the trust of his coaches. Harvey is still a solid stash but anyone who thought he was going to run away with this job and be a weekly option in fantasy leagues early on this season has to be very disappointed.

From Dynasty League Fantasy

Denver Broncos running back RJ Harvey hasn't looked the best this season. He began his career by rushing for 70 yards off six attempts in the win over the Titans. The rookie followed up that showing by amassing eight yards off five carries in the Week 2 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. With a loss in the books, Denver will look to pick up a win over the Chargers in Week 3. The Los Angeles defense has played well in the team's first two contests. However, outside of the challenging matchup on the horizon, Harvey is still a work in progress and currently sits behind J.K. Dobbins, who has two touchdowns this season, on the depth chart. All that considered, Harvey isn't the safest fantasy option in any format, so it may be wise for managers to keep him stashed on the bench on Sunday.
