Harvey was almost useless for fantasy when JK Dobbins was healthy last year, averaging fewer than 10 PPR points per game on just five carries per week. Dobbins out-carried him at the goal line 7-3 before his season-ending injury. Dobbins is back on a two-year, $16 million contract, and the Broncos also drafted Jonah Coleman and hyped him up for much of the summer. The source recommends waiting for a week of data before getting anyone in this situation into lineups.

Harvey was a top-20 RB from Week 11 on last season with double-digit touches in every outing and six total touchdowns, but that production coincided with J.K. Dobbins' season-ending injury. Prior to Dobbins' departure, Harvey averaged just 8.7 PPG with more than seven carries just once; his output was inflated by four receiving touchdowns across a six-week stretch. Dobbins is back and healthy after signing a two-year, $16 million contract with Denver in March and is listed as the starter over Harvey on the unofficial depth chart. Rookie Jonah Coleman adds further competition. Facing the Chiefs defense in Kansas City with a bottom-eight implied total (20.5), Harvey averaged just 11.3 PPG in two games against Kansas City as the lead back last year. Now the No. 2 (at best) in a three-headed backfield, expect less production on Monday night.

Harvey finished last year as RB20, averaging 12.2 PPR fantasy points per game, but needed a featured role in the second half to hit that mark and scored 10.5 or fewer fantasy points in over half his games as the featured guy. Now he will split backfield work with J.K. Dobbins and Jonah Coleman, reducing his volume. More critically, Harvey struggled in both matchups against the Chiefs as a rookie, averaging 12.5 rushing attempts for 36.5 yards, zero touchdowns, and 13.3 fantasy points per game despite Dobbins missing both games. He needed five receptions and a receiving touchdown in Week 17 against a Chiefs team that had given up on the season to score double-digit fantasy points.

RJ Harvey's Week 1 challenge extends beyond Kansas City's fifth-ranked rushing defense to Denver's coaching staff under Sean Payton, known for unpredictable RB rotation usage. Denver added Jonah Coleman in the draft, adding another RB to the mix. OC Davis Webb will call plays, but the source criticizes the inclusion of Adam Prentice with Harvey in the backfield as problematic. The source warns that Payton's historical pattern of keeping fantasy managers guessing about RB usage could prevent Harvey from receiving enough opportunities to deliver in Week 1, despite his talent.

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.
