From the episode

I've kind of been RJ Harvey pilled... he had a like rushing yards over expected per rush... he did not have a good season on the ground. However... drafting second year running backs and ambiguous backfields who catch passes... has yielded really good results historically from an ADP trend standpoint... he's not going in round five anymore... the receiving work is still going to be there for him probably to some degree to start the season.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalValue

Harvey's fallen ADP makes him a second-year RB value despite weak rushing metrics.

JJ Zachariason has become bullish on RJ Harvey as a second-year running back in an ambiguous backfield who catches passes—a process that has historically yielded strong ADP-trend results. He entered the offseason as a sell on Harvey due to poor rushing yards over expected and lack of explosive run production, but now views him as a value target because his ADP has fallen significantly from round five territory, reducing opportunity cost. The receiving work should remain available to start the season.
