RJ Harvey is a second-year back on the Broncos who, while imperfect, is a legitimate NFL runner. His presence alongside J.K. Dobbins reduces the likelihood of Denver pursuing a Taylor trade.

RJ Harvey had a great game against Arizona and should continue to be involved in the Broncos' running attack; the staff recommends keeping the momentum going with the young running backs as the passing attack opens up once teams respect the run.

Harvey scored a receiving TD in Week 7 and has a pass-catching role that should insulate him somewhat from Coleman's takeover, though his overall role may still be diminished as the backfield condenses.

Has recorded 3, 9, and 5 touches in three games since Sean Payton took over play-calling; might win out if Broncos find themselves trailing vs. KC in Week 8, but Chiefs offense hasn't been special in recent weeks; ranks 2nd in 'Cool Stuff' metric (46.2%) with inflated numbers due to pass-game involvement.

Harvey took a screen pass 50 yards for a touchdown in Week 7 but maintains his role as the Broncos' pass-catching running back, which is not expected to change as Jonah Coleman takes over early-down and short-yardage work.

R.J. Harvey remains a specialized passing-down and screen-back option in Denver's backfield, with his role not expected to expand significantly as Jonah Coleman takes on the primary rushing duties. Stays as the specialized passing down screen back role for Denver.

Harvey is still making plays in a very defined, niche role. He took a screen against a blitz to the house from 52 yards out, showcasing his best-in-the-backfield explosiveness, and slipped out on a play-action target called for him (a 19-yarder that was called back). However, Harvey should keep splitting pass-down work with Coleman, which is not a fantasy football role. He had just 3.1 expected half PPR points in a blowout win against the Cardinals. The source fears that the Broncos are simply splitting 19.9 expected half PPR points into thirds, meaning nobody can be trusted as an RB3/FLEX until a winner is declared.

Harvey maintains a defined receiving role in the Denver backfield with 25% route share and target involvement. Malik Willis identifies Harvey as the best receiving back in the Denver offense and expects him to retain receiving work and goal-line opportunities even as Jonah Coleman's role expands, suggesting there will still be room for Harvey to operate in the offense despite Coleman now leading in total backfield opportunities (9 carries, 2 targets).

Harvey is characterized as the Broncos' pass-catching specialist, expected to receive 2–4 designed targets in the screen game plus occasional carries. His role is complementary to Jonah Coleman's between-the-20s workload, limiting his upside in a three-way backfield.

Harvey played 16 snaps in the Broncos backfield, averaging 2.0 yards per carry on his carries but making a big play in the passing game with a 52-yard receiving touchdown and one other catch. In PPR leagues, Harvey would be the second choice behind Coleman thanks to his consistent involvement in the passing game.

R.J. Harvey is described as a home-run hitter who took a screen pass to the house early in the 3rd quarter on a perfectly timed and executed play with multiple blockers running free downfield. However, outside of that one touchdown play, his other 4 touches were plays for 2-3 yards each, indicating limited overall impact beyond the one explosive play.

R.J. Harvey scored on a screen pass touchdown in the 3rd quarter on a perfectly timed play with multiple blockers downfield, but was otherwise ineffective with 4 other touches producing only 2-3 yards each. The source characterizes Harvey as a home-run hitter whose value is dependent on big-play opportunities rather than consistent production.

RJ Harvey has combined with J.K. Dobbins to average just 3.4 yards per carry for the Broncos, who rank 30th in rush success rate this season. The lackluster performance from Denver's primary ball-carriers suggests the team may seek an upgrade at running back.

Broncos pass-catcher generating PPR value debate vs. Coleman. Comments note Harvey 'has been pulling some nice PPR scam plays' and will 'still be involved as a pass catcher' even if Coleman takes over. One owner prefers Coleman in all leagues due to higher route share and better long-term usage. Harvey framed as bye-week filler or PPR flex with limited upside if Broncos offense doesn't improve.

RJ Harvey continued to contribute to the Broncos' improved rushing attack, which totaled 159 yards. The source mentions Harvey as part of the run game rotation alongside rookie Jonah Coleman and JK Dobbins, noting 'continued grinding from RJ Harvey.' While Harvey's specific statistics are not detailed, his role in the team's marked improvement in rushing yards (close to 100 even excluding Nix's 62-yard run) indicates sustained involvement in the offense.

Running back RJ Harvey continued to contribute to the Broncos' improved run game performance, grinding alongside rookie Jonah Coleman and JK Dobbins. The trio combined to produce 159 total rushing yards, a marked improvement from earlier in the season. Even excluding Nix's 62-yard rushing TD, the Broncos' rushing total would have been close to 100 yards, demonstrating the collective effectiveness of the run game.

In the Broncos backfield context, RJ Harvey posted a bigger fantasy day than Jonah Coleman in Week 8 against Arizona due to a 52-yard receiving touchdown, but the source notes this doesn't change the hierarchy; Coleman led in snaps (50%), rush attempts (41%), and route participation (34%), positioning Coleman as the long-term three-down back despite Harvey's one-week fantasy advantage.

Harvey is designated as the passing game role back in Denver offense; received only five touches in Week 7 despite scoring a 51-yard touchdown. Has scored touchdowns in each of the last two weeks but touch volume remains limited. Will maintain red zone usage but unlikely to emerge as primary back.

Harvey's role is diminished by Jonah Coleman's return to the Broncos backfield. Coleman's 30 snaps matched Harvey's and J.K. Dobbins' combined total, though Harvey remained involved and found the end zone. The three-way committee limits Harvey's fantasy upside.
