Harvey's fantasy value is heavily dependent on J.K. Dobbins' health status, making him unreliable. While Harvey finished as RB20 last season averaging 12.2 PPR fantasy points per game, he averaged only five rushing attempts, 7.5 total touches and 10 fantasy points per game with Dobbins healthy. By comparison, Harvey averaged 13.7 rushing attempts, 16.9 total touches and 15.2 PPR fantasy points per game without the veteran. The Broncos re-signed Dobbins and drafted Jonah Coleman, further limiting Harvey's role. At ADP 64.24 (RB27), Harvey might be the best option in Denver's backfield, but he's not worth a top-75 pick.

Harvey posted five straight double-digit scores from Weeks 13–17, including five rushing touchdowns in the first four of those games, and had the eighth-most targets (37) from Week 9 onward. Sean Payton's offense loves a pass-catching, explosive RB. However, Harvey needed a J.K. Dobbins injury and significant volume to have top-20 value, and Jonah Coleman could threaten a committee backfield. After the Dobbins injury, Harvey ranked just 30th among 43 qualified running backs at 4.3 yards per touch. The source votes solid no but acknowledges pre-draft excitement for Harvey as a potential fine RB2/3.

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.

Been struck by how much sharper the fantasy markets are getting at digesting previous year outlier production. Some examples from this year: 1. Matthew Stafford was fantasy's QB2 last season, and NFL MVP. Market bakes in regression on pass TD rate, going off board as QB14 now. 2. RJ Harvey goes for 12 TDs and 47 receptions as a rookie. Market understands JK Dobbins now ahead in base, Dobbins/Coleman ahead in pass pro. Going off board as RB31. 3. Michael Wilson goes 78-1006-7 last season. Mark...

45.0% bull / 55.0% bear (5.0% split, 80 mentions). Denver RB competing with J.K. Dobbins and rookie. Bullish: played well while Dobbins out; pass-catching ability; endzone upside; value at 8th round. Bearish: inefficient as runner when Dobbins sidelined; overdrafted by Payton last year; new rookie RB drafted; 'lost in depth chart.' Community split: some see value at fallen price; others cite poor rushing efficiency and depth chart risk.

Harvey is a landmine at 87th overall ADP despite 12 rookie TDs; after J.K. Dobbins' injury last year, Harvey averaged only 3.3 yards per carry behind a good Broncos OL and was flat-out bad as a runner. The Broncos drafted Jonah Coleman in the 4th round as a significant investment; Dobbins gets most early-down and goal-line carries; Coleman is a capable pass catcher and good pass blocker, so Harvey may not get all passing-down work either. Sean Payton historically runs committee backfields (Mark Ingram, Alvin Kamara, Pierre Thomas). If Dobbins stays healthy, Harvey won't give enough touches to return profit on an 87th overall pick.
