From the article

Harvey appeared in 10 games with Dobbins active last year. He averaged five carries and 10 PPR points per week. That shot up to 13.7 carries for 15.5 PPR points in seven regular-season contests sans Dobbins. The Broncos kept Dobbins in-house on a two-year deal this offseason. Harvey's pass-catching role, on the other hand, limited Dobbins to 11.6 points per game. Payton loves a split backfield, so don't expect much to change in 2026.

STACKED’s take

Warren's split-backfield role with Harvey limits his 2026 upside.

Warren is in tier 5 as part of a split backfield with RJ Harvey in Denver; Harvey appeared in 10 games with Warren active last year, averaging five carries and 10 PPR points per week, but that shot up to 13.7 carries for 15.5 PPR points in seven regular-season contests without Warren. Payton loves a split backfield, so don't expect much to change in 2026.
