R.J. Harvey's rookie season was a tale of two seasons centered around J.K. Dobbins being in the lineup and out of it... With Dobbins back and Denver drafting Jonah Coleman, Harvey's role is up in the air... Harvey is a decent selection in fantasy drafts this season, but in 2026, I won't go out of my way to get him on all my teams like last year.

Harvey's role is murky with Dobbins back and Coleman drafted; he's a pass-down back.

Harvey's rookie season was split dramatically around J.K. Dobbins' availability. In Weeks 1-10 with Dobbins active, Harvey was RB29 in fantasy points per game, averaging 29.1% of snaps with 7.5 touches and 38.9 total yards per game. In Weeks 11-18 with Dobbins out, he was RB13 in fantasy points per game with 16.8 touches and 72.5 total yards per game while averaging 60.7% of snaps. With Dobbins returning and Denver drafting Jonah Coleman, Harvey's role is uncertain; he could fall back into his early-season role as a passing-down partner or the backfield could become messy with all three backs dividing production. As a pass catcher, Harvey ranked sixth in target per route run rate and first downs per route run and tenth in yards per route run, but as a rusher among 49 qualifying backs he ranked 21st in missed tackle rate, 42nd in explosive run rate, and 44th in yards after contact per attempt. Derek Brown won't go out of his way to get Harvey on all his teams in 2026 like he did last year.
