RJ Harvey running back in Denver... third worst success rate as a runner, the fourth worst rushing yards over expectation per attempt... Shawn Payton felt so much more comfortable with JK Dobbins as the real workhorse in Denver... they ended up resigning JK Dobbins to, you know, a much more lucrative contract... they added Jonah Coleman in the draft, an early day three pick.
STACKED’s take
Limited to rotational role despite elite pass-catching; Payton prefers Dobbins.
Despite explosive athleticism and elite pass-catching ability in Sean Payton's offense, Harvey is limited to a rotational role due to poor rushing efficiency and running vision. Third-worst success rate as a runner, fourth-worst rushing yards over expectation per attempt; Payton clearly prefers JK Dobbins as the workhorse (15-18 carries per game in first half before Dobbins' injury), with Harvey relegated to mix-and-match spots. Broncos' offseason moves—re-signing Dobbins to lucrative contract and drafting Jonah Coleman early day three—signal team does not view Harvey as capable of high-upside lead role. Will have PPR weeks as pass catcher but lacks volume ceiling.
