Harvey

He’ll hold the receiving end of Denver’s RB tandem in Week 3 against the Broncos, giving him fringe RB2 status against a tough defense. We’d probably rather start Harvey than committee mate J.K. Dobbins this week with Jonah Coleman (ankle) out.

Harvey is on track to return in Week 3 against the Rams after sitting out the Broncos’ Week 2 game against the Jaguars. With RB Jonah Coleman (ankle) ailing, Harvey could take on a slightly larger-than-normal workload, though not enough to treat him as anything higher than a FLEX option.

Harvey strained his hamstring in Week 1 and logged two limited sessions in Week 2 practices before being declared inactive on game day. His continued limited practice participation puts him on track to backup starting RB J.K. Dobbins (hamstring), who is also rehabbing after experiencing cramps in Week 2. RB3 Jonah Coleman (ankle) is currently sidelined.

Hamstring cramps forced Dobbins out of the Broncos’ Week 2 game against the Jaguars. Follow-up reports on the issue have been positive, and it sounds like he has a real chance to play in Week 3 against the Rams, potentially as the leader of a banged-up committee. Keep an eye on his practice participation this week.

RJ Harvey missed Week 2 with a hamstring injury and J.K. Dobbins left the game early with what was eventually called leg cramps. It’s unclear if any of the three Denver backs will be available for Week 3. Dobbins appears most likely to suit up, though nothing is guaranteed. Tyler Badie could ultimately be the team’s starting running back on Sunday. He should be stashed in most fantasy leagues in case all three starting options ahead of him are ruled out.

Harvey will miss Week 2 with a hamstring injury, leaving JK Dobbins as the team’s lead back and Jonah Coleman as the likely RB2 option. Dobbins should get a boost — perhaps in the pass catching game — with Harvey sidelined, while Coleman probably won’t see more than a handful of touches.

Harvey was listed as limited on Wednesday, though the team didn’t actually hold a practice. They were back on the field for the next two days and listed him as limited. The fact that he practiced in any capacity should mean this isn’t a long-term issue, but the Broncos are playing it safe this week. J.K. Dobbins will see the bulk of the carries and rookie Jonah Coleman could be in line for some of Harvey’s designed touches. Dobbins is locked in as an RB3 for Week 2, while Coleman is more of a deep-cut FLEX play.

Even if Harvey is active, he makes for a dicey FLEX start. The second-year running back totaled seven touches in last week’s loss and he logged only two limited practices this week. The Broncos can divvy up the backfield work between RB J.K. Dobbins, Harvey and rookie RB Jonah Coleman if need be.

Harvey joined his teammates on the field for a limited session after sitting out on Wednesday. He has a chance to play. If active, it is unclear how effective he can be, and the Broncos do have a capable backup, rookie RB Jonah Coleman, who should be stashed where available. Hopefully, Harvey practices fully tomorrow. Stay tuned.

Coming off Monday Night Football, the Broncos did not hold an official practice today, so their injury report is only an estimate. Still, an estimated DNP for Harvey is a major concern. Rookie Jonah Coleman will take on some of Harvey’s role if he isn’t available for Week 2. J.K. Dobbins would also pick up a few extra carries. Denver’s injury report will be one of the biggest fantasy stories of the week.
