All Flock Fantasy insights about RJ Harvey
NegativeUsageOct 27, 2026
Snap share declined from 40% in week 6 to 26% in week 7, with only 5 total touches. Jonah Coleman's return from IR and increased opportunities have reduced Harvey's role in the Denver backfield significantly.NegativeUsageOct 26, 2026
Takes a backseat now that Jonah Coleman is back; in a three-man running back committee. Despite scoring 14 points this week, Harvey had only five total touches, making it very difficult to trust him in a three-man committee.NegativeRoleOct 24, 2026
Should be rostered; currently part of a three-man running back committee with Jonah Coleman and JK Dobbins. If Dobbins is traded to the Giants, Harvey could become part of a two-man committee with Coleman, significantly improving his role and fantasy upside.NegativeRoleOct 23, 2026
Impossible to play in Week 7 despite a decent matchup against Arizona. If Jonah Coleman plays, Harvey will be part of a three-man running back committee, creating too much uncertainty. Similar situation to JK Dobbins with unclear role definition.NegativeValueOct 22, 2026
R.J. Harvey is ranked below Tyler Allgeier at running back when Jerick McKinnon is unavailable, making him a secondary flex option.NegativeRoleOct 22, 2026
Positioned as a third-down running back in Denver's committee approach, limiting his fantasy upside in a backfield that splits carries and touches across multiple backs. However, recommended as the start at running back over Dameon Pierce and Keilan Black when Saquon Barkley is expected to play, which diminishes Pierce's value.PositiveRoleOct 21, 2026
RJ Harvey's path to be a legitimate starting running back doesn't exist; he is only a third-down receiving back. With Jona Coleman about to return, Harvey's role will remain limited to receiving duties only, making him a poor trade target compared to Breece Hall.NegativeDepth ChartOct 19, 2026
A faller in rankings despite having a really good week; Jona Coleman may be getting ready to return, which will make it less likely Harvey sees 10-plus carries in a game; he is purely a receiving back.NegativeRoleOct 17, 2026
Described as a depth piece with some compelling upside, but the source notes that 'Sean Payton hates R.J. Harvey,' indicating limited role and opportunity going forward despite any talent. This severely limits his fantasy viability in the Broncos offense.NegativeRoleOct 17, 2026
The source notes that RJ Harvey is currently being started at running back on a team with limited depth at the position, suggesting he is the primary back in use.NegativeUsageOct 16, 2026
RJ Harvey is a difficult player to trust for fantasy as he is pigeonholed into a satellite/pass-catching role in Denver, with his ceiling further capped by the impending return of Jonah Coleman.NegativeMatchupOct 16, 2026
The source explicitly advises against playing RJ Harvey this week, preferring to hold out hope that Stefon Diggs is available or pivot to Chris Godwin instead. Earlier, the source expressed low confidence in Harvey as a flex option, saying 'I would just play RJ Harvey and send up a prayer that he catches four balls in this game' and adding 'Not super excited to play him, of course,' indicating uncertainty and limited upside.NegativeMatchupOct 15, 2026
Michael Penn suggests RJ Harvey should be the avoid this week due to a tough matchup against the Seattle Seahawks, noting that neither Harvey nor Alvin Kamara has a consistent workload.NegativeMatchupOct 14, 2026
RJ Harvey is considered a poor start due to a difficult matchup against Seattle and the Broncos' status as one of the league's worst offenses. He lacks rushing upside and relies heavily on receptions and a potential touchdown.NegativeRoleOct 14, 2026
Harvey is the backup running back behind Jalen Gibbs in a keeper league roster, positioned as a short-term depth play while the team works the waiver wire to improve overall depth.NegativeUsageOct 12, 2026
RJ Harvey is considered a legitimate talent, but his usage is limited to a receiving role; he has recorded only one game with more than three carries this season.PositiveRoleOct 11, 2026
RJ Harvey is used exclusively as a receiver with no rushing role. The source recommends Harvey over Will Shipley due to uncertainty around Shipley's role in the Eagles offense. Harvey is also preferred over Devon Achane for this week's matchup despite the Vikings defense being strong; while the Saints had favorable projections last week, Harvey remains the preferred play. In PPR format, Harvey is preferred over Trey Harris.NegativeValueOct 11, 2026
R.J. Harvey is considered a viable option only in full PPR leagues as a backup to Ollie Gordon when Kenneth Walker is unavailable; Ollie Gordon is ranked as the higher-priority option.PositiveValueOct 11, 2026
Braille Allen recommends playing RJ Harvey at running back over Genty, whom he expects to miss; Harvey is the safer play given the injury uncertainty. However, in another matchup context, Harvey is ranked below Emanuel Wilson as a flex option.NegativeValueOct 10, 2026
RJ Harvey is being traded away in a deal that sends him plus one 2025 first-round pick and two future second-round picks to acquire Saquon Barkley and Brock Bowers; the speaker notes this trade makes sense in a one-quarterback dynasty league if the first-round picks are late, but warns the deal could backfire if the picks end up being early (around pick 1.03).NegativeUsageOct 9, 2026
Getting consistent receiving work with Jonah Coleman still out, but gets literally nothing as a rusher. If Chargers fall behind to Denver and need to run the ball in the second half, his fantasy value is capped. Limited upside despite receiving role.PositiveValueOct 9, 2026
Kyle Manungai recommends holding RJ Harvey in a 10-team start-eight format rather than trading for a wide receiver upgrade, noting that Josh Davis is already the wide receiver five and trading for a WR six or seven doesn't make sense. However, Manungai prefers Jaylen Waddle over RJ Harvey in any scenario, whether through trade or starting lineup submission.PositiveUsageOct 7, 2026
Harvey has no rushing role with only nine carries over the last two weeks, but his receiving usage is elite with 17 targets in that span, making him a viable option specifically in full PPR formats.PositiveRoleOct 5, 2026
RJ Harvey is the receiving back in the Broncos backfield and is the higher upside play compared to JK Dobbins, who handles first and second down carries. Harvey's pass-catching role provides more realistic fantasy upside.PositiveUsageOct 4, 2026
Recommended as a start over Blake Corum; despite only two carries last week, Harvey had seven targets out of the backfield; the source believes JK Dobbins looks bad and Harvey could see increased workload, making him an attractive play for cheap reception volume.PositiveUsageOct 4, 2026
The source recommends R.J. Harvey over Jaylen Wright in a running back decision, noting that while Harvey will not get significant rushing volume, he will draw targets out of the backfield; this is the preferred play this week against Minnesota despite unclear role splits.PositiveUsageOct 4, 2026
RJ Harvey is recommended in flex spots with Jonah Coleman no longer available. The source notes Harvey is clearly getting all the target volume in the backfield, indicating significant receiving opportunity and making him a strong flex play.NegativeRoleOct 3, 2026
R.J. Harvey is listed as a running back option in the source's roster discussion.PositiveSleeperOct 2, 2026
The source recommends dropping either Tyreek Hill or Dantavian Wicks to pick up RJ Harvey as a handcuff; if Dobbins (described as one of the most injury-prone running backs in the NFL) were to go down while Jonah Coleman is already on IR, Harvey could become an absolute jam and provide significant value.NegativeValueSep 30, 2026
The source evaluates R.J. Harvey in a trade for Bryce Young and Stefon Diggs, noting that the trade outcome depends on personal preference between Harvey and Diggs since the quarterbacks are just streaming options.NegativeRoleSep 29, 2026
Bree Hall identifies RJ Harvey as the team's current RB3 who is limited until Jadarian Price can expand his role and cement himself as a rookie running back.NegativeRoleSep 29, 2026
Bree Hall identifies R.J. Harvey as a desperation play at running back, indicating limited confidence in his role or production.PositiveUsageSep 28, 2026
RJ Harvey is preferred over JK Dobbins in their shared backfield because he looks better on tape and serves as the primary receiving back, averaging 5.5 targets per game, which provides value in PPR formats.NegativeUsageSep 28, 2026
RJ Harvey is clearly getting the receiving work in the Broncos backfield with 7 targets compared to JK Dobbins' 2. However, both are desperation plays and only playable in really good matchups or when dealing with significant injuries.PositiveUsageSep 27, 2026
RJ Harvey gets a slight bump in start/sit consideration given that Jonah Coleman is out for the week or quite some time, suggesting increased opportunity and workload in the Ravens backfield. Harvey is recommended over Alvin Kamara in start/sit decisions; the source sees more upside with Harvey despite Kamara having better straight-up projections. Harvey is also considered a reasonable flex option in PPR formats, with the source noting it would be 'very reasonable' to play Harvey over other primary options.NegativeDepth ChartSep 27, 2026
Dantavian Wixs notes that RG Harvey is completely removed from the injury report and is a little intriguing given the absence of Jonah Coleman, but advises waiting to see if Harvey is actually usable before starting him.PositiveValueSep 27, 2026
Dantavian Wixs prefers RJ Harvey in flex over Jakory Crossit and Luther Burden. Harvey is off the injury report while Jonah Coleman is out; he avoids the Commanders' projected worst offense of the week and the Bears' horrendous matchup with no starting quarterback. If Zay Flowers plays, Harvey pairs with him in flex; if Flowers misses, Chris Godwin becomes the backup plan.PositiveRoleSep 27, 2026
Moved up in both weekly and rest-of-season rankings following Jonah Coleman's IR placement; no longer faces competition from a third running back in the Denver backfield.PositiveInjurySep 26, 2026
Completely off the injury report and available to play; source would take Harvey in the flex if Jonah Coleman does not play.NegativeValueSep 25, 2026
The source mentions RJ Harvey as a potential trade piece but notes there isn't tremendous value available to easily trade him and Cardell Tate for an upgrade at wide receiver.NegativeInjurySep 24, 2026
Harvey's startability is uncertain in 16-team leagues due to his injury and the situation in Denver; while currently starting, his long-term viability is questioned compared to safer alternatives like Jaylen Warren. Shawn McVey expresses caution about his fantasy value.PositiveRoleSep 24, 2026
Shawn McVey selects RJ Harvey as a flex option in a start/sit scenario, with the caveat that he must be healthy, indicating confidence in his role when available. If Harvey misses time, McVey recommends pivoting to Jordan Addison.NegativeInjurySep 23, 2026
RJ Harvey is dealing with a hamstring injury, making the Denver backfield situation difficult to rank.NegativeInjurySep 22, 2026
RJ Harvey suffered a hamstring injury during practice, which impacted his status as the lead back in Denver. There is a chance he returns for Week 3, but his availability remains uncertain.NegativeRoleSep 22, 2026
Eli Sters mentions R.J. Arvey as one of the top running backs on a team that might be a trade target for running back depth, suggesting the team has limited RB options and could be a potential trade partner.NegativeInjurySep 21, 2026
R.J. Harvey is ranked at 34 following an injury in practice that caused him to miss Sunday's game.NegativeInjurySep 21, 2026
RJ Harvey missed the game due to a hamstring injury sustained during practice.NegativeInjurySep 20, 2026
RJ Harvey is looking like he is unlikely to play, making him no longer startable and triggering ranking increases for backup RBs.PositiveInjurySep 18, 2026
RJ Harvey receives an unlimited practice designation, indicating he is healthy and available for play.NegativeRoleSep 17, 2026
Harvey is listed as one of only three running back options on a team with Swift and Readandre; represents depth-chart positioning on a limited roster that contrasts sharply with the elite RB depth available elsewhere.NegativeInjurySep 17, 2026
Broncos RB did not practice Wednesday due to hamstring injury; status uncertain for upcoming game; impacts Broncos backfield depth. If Harvey is ruled out, JK Dobbins becomes an appealing backup RB option with opportunity for increased touches.NegativeUsageSep 15, 2026
RJ Harvey saw significant early-game snaps and appeared to be the lead back, especially in the passing game, but finished with only 3 carries and 4 targets in Week 1. Flock Fantasy maintains Harvey as RB29 in rankings because he retains receiving upside and would expand his role if JK Dobbins gets injured. Harvey has some upside in games where the Broncos offense can move the ball, but the source would not start him unless facing a favorable matchup.NegativeProjectionSep 14, 2026
Flock Fantasy has not yet seen RJ Harvey play in week one; if he shows he can be started, the running back room is fine, but if he doesn't show that, the team may need to be worried about the position. Harvey has a 46% chance of scoring 10 or more fantasy points according to Poly Market US, compared to JK Dobbins at 50/50 odds for the same threshold in the same game. The source notes Harvey's projections are currently weak but identifies upside potential given his ability as a receiver in full PPR leagues; the source personally leans on the Harvey side in a trade discussion, citing his depth value in a 12-team start-nine format.PositiveRoleSep 13, 2026
RJ Harvey is a viable play in 14-team formats. CJ Strad notes that in a 14-team league, Harvey is 'probably somebody that you're playing,' indicating he is a likely starter in deeper leagues. However, Strad does not like the matchup for Harvey in a specific week and recommends Brian Thomas over him in flex.NegativeDepth ChartSep 12, 2026
Ashton Genty identifies R.J. Harvey as the RB2 on the current roster.NegativeRoleSep 12, 2026
Ashton Genty notes that RJ Harvey is currently viewed as the full-blown starting running back in Denver, though he advises against panic-trading for him; he is also listed as the RB2 on the current roster.PositiveBreakoutSep 9, 2026
RJ Harvey is identified as the running back four on the roster in a 12-team start-eight auction league, providing additional depth at the position. The source identifies him as a lottery ticket running back on the bench with potential to pop later in the season, noting 'potentially, just potentially, we end up seeing RJ Harvey or Joe Nicoleman pop for us later in the season.'NegativeMatchupSep 8, 2026
Source wants to avoid all Denver Broncos running backs this week. Brutal matchup against Kansas City Chiefs. Denver projects to score fewer points than Tennessee Titans, signaling a weak offensive environment; market makers' projections suggest Denver will be a garbage offense this week.NegativeRoleSep 8, 2026
R.J. Harvey is rostered as the primary backup running back (referred to as the 'death piece') in the source's 12-team start-eight league roster, with his fantasy utility dependent on Josh Jacobs' health status and an upcoming hearing regarding Jacobs' availability.PositiveSleeperSep 8, 2026
RJ Harvey is identified as one of six startable bench assets and would serve as RB4 even if Kenneth Walker is traded away. More importantly, the source strongly recommends picking up RJ Harvey from the waiver wire, citing his ability to potentially be the starting running back behind the best offensive line in the NFL, making him a priority pickup over Jacobe Lane despite his faults. However, the source also notes Harvey is part of a running back combination lacking a legitimate RB1, indicating he is not a primary back.PositiveBreakoutSep 6, 2026
RJ Harvey is part of a strong running back committee providing depth and production. Listed among running backs with uncertain week-one expectations but with a chance to hit; the source indicates there is a damn good chance that multiple running backs on this roster (including Harvey) will produce.NegativeRoleSep 5, 2026
Evaluated as a solid RB3 in a 10-team league; identified as a potential trade piece that could be packaged with Jaylen Waddle to upgrade at WR or RB in a shallow format where depth is less valuable. Also described as 'a good running back three' in a PPR league with two receiver, one flex format, providing solid depth at the position.PositiveRoleSep 5, 2026
Receiving back with the league's best offensive line; drafted in the middle of the seventh round; if he repeats his rookie season production, he will perform well. However, the pick is complicated by the Ravens' draft of Jonah Coleman, which creates a one-for-one replacement scenario if JK Dobbins gets injured, reducing Harvey's ceiling compared to a scenario where only Dobbins and Harvey were on the depth chart. Drafted as RB4 on the source's team; source includes Harvey in a running back room that is explicitly praised as strong, indicating confidence in his role and production.PositiveRoleSep 4, 2026
RJ Harvey is listed as part of a strong running back core in a shallow league format.PositiveValueSep 3, 2026
Selected at 8.05 as the fifth running back in double-flex format; drafter prioritizes upside and sees more upside in the Denver Broncos offense with a year-two RB compared to the Tennessee Titans offense with a 30-year-old RB; positioned as an alternative to Jalen Hurts in 4-point passing TD leagues.PositiveValueAug 31, 2026
Selected as the seventh running back in the Flock League draft over other top-ADP options like Jacobs and Pard; speaker indicates preference for Harvey in this spot.PositiveValueAug 31, 2026
Amanra ranks R.J. Harvey ahead of Marshon Lloyd at this draft position, though acknowledges not faulting others for taking Lloyd instead; Harvey is the speaker's preferred pick in this range.NegativeValueAug 30, 2026
Running back with trade value; the source proposes sending Ibuka and RJ Harvey together to acquire early third-round running backs like Jeremiah Love, indicating Harvey is part of a tradeable depth package.NegativeDepth ChartAug 30, 2026
R.J. Harvey is one of only two running backs on a competing team's roster in a 14-team league, highlighting that team's weak running back depth compared to other teams.PositiveValueAug 29, 2026
Harvey finished as RB24 in points per game as a rookie last season and is now available at a massive discount because drafters prefer Dobbins, creating significant value; the source may move him up to the top end of his tier.PositiveValueAug 25, 2026
R.J. Harvey is a superior value compared to J.K. Dobbins, as he is the better receiving back and plays behind the league's best offensive line. It is an inefficiency that he is currently being drafted after Dobbins on many platforms, making him a strong target in the 8th round.PositiveValueAug 25, 2026
RJ Harvey goes at 7.06 ADP. JJ Zachariason indicates strong approval of the pick, stating he probably would have taken Harvey if Harvey had made it to his pick.NegativeValueAug 20, 2026
Considered as a potential draft option by the speaker, ranked among other available running backs.PositiveBreakoutAug 18, 2026
R.J. Harvey is in a really good spot when it comes to a potential Dobbins injury; if Dobbins goes down, Harvey becomes a league winner.NegativeRoleAug 16, 2026
Harvey is projected to be the starter for the Denver Broncos in some capacity, but he faces a committee backfield alongside J.K. Dobbins and Q Coleman, limiting his standalone value despite a strong offensive line.NegativeProjectionAug 13, 2026
RJ Harvey was selected at the 806 position in the mock draft.PositiveValueAug 11, 2026
The source considers R.J. Harvey a no-brainer selection at pick 8.06 and their highest-ranked player, despite a recent Sleeper ADP update that negatively impacted his perceived value. He is viewed as a smash pick while J.K. Dobbins deals with a practice injury.PositiveValueAug 11, 2026
RJ Harvey was a top-two target in the source's rankings and was selected in the mock draft. His value is considered a "smash" pick, especially given the uncertainty surrounding J.K. Dobbins' injury status.PositiveProjectionAug 9, 2026
R.J. Harvey was selected as the RB4 in the source's mock draft, serving as a depth piece for their running back room through the first eight rounds.PositiveValueAug 7, 2026
The source warns against blindly following platform ADP, noting that while RJ Harvey might appear as a sixth-round value on Sleeper, he is actually closer to an eighth-round pick based on accurate personal rankings.
