Ron Stewart on RJ Harvey
From the video
R.J. Harvey. He is behind only Jamir Gibbs and Ashen Genty in usage. purely from the receiving game. He averages 8.4 expected points per game purely from receiving. RJ Harvey takes up 60% of his backfield's high value touches the most in the NFL. He averages five high value touches per game... I have ETN as my RB 27 rest of season. I have RJ Harvey RB 31. So if I could go from ETN to Harvey, put Harvey in my lineup and then collect an extra wide receiver in Jacobe Myers, I would.
STACKED’s take
RB31 with elite receiving usage and role-expansion upside; 49ers matchup favors receiving backs.
Ron Stewart identifies R.J. Harvey as a buy candidate with significant upside. Harvey ranks behind only Jamir Gibbs and Ashton Jeanty in receiving usage, averaging 8.4 expected points per game from receiving alone. He controls 60% of his backfield's high-value touches (tied with Jonathan Taylor at five per game), and if rushing usage expands even modestly to six expected points per game, he projects as a 14 PPR point-per-game RB2. JK Dobbins' poor efficiency (40th in success rate, 33rd in 10+ yard run rate, 39th in yards after contact) creates opportunity for Harvey's role to expand. Harvey faces the 49ers this week, who allow the 12th most fantasy points to opposing running backs but are uniquely susceptible to receiving backs, allowing over five receptions per game (fifth in the NFL). Ron Stewart ranks Harvey as RB31 rest of season and identifies him as a cheap buy target; he would trade ETN (RB27) for Harvey plus Jacobe Myers.
