NegativeProjectionJul 19, 2026
Harvey will not give fantasy managers the upside needed in 2026 due to the crowded backfield situation, despite being the most valuable dynasty asset in Denver's RB room long-term.NegativeRoleJul 19, 2026
The Broncos' backfield is crowded with J.K. Dobbins leading and Jonah Coleman as a fourth-round pick, making it tricky to trust Harvey despite his youth and draft capital.NegativeBustJul 19, 2026
Despite scoring 12 touchdowns as a rookie, Harvey was wildly inefficient with 3.7 yards per carry on 146 rushing attempts and will face a messy backfield situation in 2026 with limited upside.NegativeBustJul 10, 2026
Harvey's 2026 projection may be too optimistic given significant backfield headwinds. Though he was RB8 from Weeks 13-18 last season, the Broncos brought back J.K. Dobbins for 2026, and as long as Dobbins is healthy, he will diminish Harvey's snap share. The Broncos also drafted Jonah Coleman in the fourth round (5.6 yards per carry, 10.3 yards per reception over his last three college seasons), and HC Sean Payton stated that upgrading at running back was a "must," signaling he does not view Harvey as a workhorse. Denver ranked 24th in run-play percentage (41.2%) last year and could run even fewer plays with the Jaylen Waddle trade enhancing the air attack for Bo Nix. Running back by committee is a fantasy death sentence.NegativeRoleJul 9, 2026
Harvey faces squeeze risk in both directions within the Broncos backfield; despite all three Denver backs going after pick 85 on Underdog, Harvey is specifically flagged as a concern due to role compression between elite talent and pass-catching depth.
