    RJ Harvey rushed twice for six yards in the Broncos’ Week 3 win over the Rams, adding 41 yards on six receptions.

    Harvey took an awkward tackle and appeared to stumble following the play. He was removed during the commercial break and taken to the locker room to be evaluated for a concussion. Harvey gained six yards on two carries prior to departing, adding 39 yards on five receptions, but would return for the fourth quarter to add two additional yards on one additional catch. Harvey continues to add value through the air but could struggle to return value better than RB3 in fantasy circles given the current struggles of the offense. He’ll be an RB3 against the 49ers in Week 4.

    Coleman can return to practice this week and the team now has 21 days to bring him off injured reserve. He could be back on the field as soon as Sunday. With the Broncos’ offense struggling and two backs already seeing work in the backfield, it’s hard to imagine Coleman having much fantasy value in his first game back. He’s worth stashing in deeper leagues, but it might be a while before fantasy managers want him in their lineups.

    The fact that the 31 yards through the air led the team in receiving is a comment on the state of an offense that gained only 168 yards of total offense against the defending Super Bowl Champions. Even so, a relentlessly aggressive defense willed the team to victory behind a consistently positive game script, which allowed J.K. Dobbins to handily lead the backfield in opportunities. Harvey remains a matchup-dependent fantasy option best utilized in trailing game environments, which is unlikely to be the case when the Broncos face the struggling Cardinals in Week 7.
  • DEN Running Back #12
    Harvey was a non-factor in this one, and a week after his big receiving game, he was held without a catch with just one target. The second-year tailback was clearly the backup to JK Dobbins, and was unable to make the most of his limited opportunities. He’s off the radar for Week 6 versus the Seahawks on Thursday.
  • DEN Running Back #27
    Dobbins, as usual, led the Denver backfield in carries but lost out to RJ Harvey on pass routes and targets. In fact, Harvey led the Broncos with ten catches on ten targets in a check-down heavy game plan for Bo Nix and OC Davis Webb. Dobbins has been touchdown-reliant as the Broncos’ lead back, and sensitive to game script, as we saw in Week 4. Dobbins can be used as a flex next week against a vulnerable Chargers run defense.
  • DEN Running Back #12
    Playing against a 49ers defense allowing the league’s highest target share to running backs, Harvey led the Broncos in targets and receptions — thanks in part to negative game script that forced Denver to go pass heavy in the second half. It was a nice little PPR cheat code outing for Harvey, who now has 20 receptions in three games this year. JK Dobbins, meanwhile, led the Denver backfield with 11 rushes in Week 4. Harvey could be a PPR flex play next week against the Chargers.
  • DEN Running Back #27
    RJ Harvey was checked for a concussion in Week 3 and is not on the injury report today, meaning both backs are good to go for Week 4. Dobbins saw 17 carries versus the Rams compared to just two for Harvey, though the latter caught six passes. Dobbins caught one pass. The rushing advantage will keep Dobbins in the RB3 mix for Week 4.
  • DEN Running Back #12
    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.
  • DEN Running Back #12
    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.
  • DEN Running Back #12
    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.
  • DEN Running Back #27
    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.

    Travis Kelce (ankle) was limited on Thursday.

    Kelce should be good to go for the Chiefs’ Week 7 game against the Seahawks. At 37 years old, he does not need to practice fully in order to play, though it would be nice to see him upgrade to full participation tomorrow. If active, he is a locked-in TE1.

    Rashee Rice (hamstring) did not practice on Thursday.

    Chiefs coach Andy Reid told reporters that Rice’s strain was only a “tweak” in his Week 4 post-game remarks. So much for that. The Chiefs will almost assuredly be without their No. 1 wide receiver against the Seahawks this week, leaving Xavier Worthy to handle the role.

    Tyler Guyton (calf) was added to the injury report as a limited participant on Thursday.

    The Cowboys’ left tackle played through a minor back issue earlier this month as well. He’s a little banged up at the moment. Whether this injury keeps him out remains to be seen. The Cowboys take on the division-rival Eagles on Monday night.

    George Pickens (shoulder) was added to the injury report as a limited participant on Thursday.

    Reliable ESPN beat reporter Todd Archer notes that Pickens has had ice on his shoulder during the Cowboys’ last two games. He does not think that this injury threatens Pickens’ Week 7 availability. Thanks, Todd. Ideally, Pickens jumps back up to full participation tomorrow, and we head into Sunday carefree. Stay tuned.

    Dalton Schultz (quad) did not practice on Thursday.

    Schultz is unlikely to play in Week 7 against the Giants, and now Texans TE4 Brevin Jordan (foot) appears to have suffered an injury. Jordan was added to the injury report today as a limited participant. The injuries elevate TE2 Foster Moreau to the streaming ranks for Week 7.

    Rashod Bateman (shoulder) practiced in full on Thursday.

    Bateman has been playing through this shoulder injury for a while, though he was forced to leave early last week. Bateman should now be expected to play, but he is only a boom-bust FLEX option with Ja’Kobi Lane now back in the lineup.

    Dylan Sampson (knee) was limited on Thursday.

    The Browns could get their receiving specialist back in the lineup this week, though it would be nice to see him practice fully tomorrow. Sampson injured his knee while returning a kickoff in Week 1 against the Jaguars and has been sidelined ever since.

    Quinshon Judkins (ankle) was limited on Thursday.

    Yesterday, Browns coach Todd Monken said he was “optimistic” about Judkins’ Week 7 availability. He has a chance to face the Titans this week, after sitting out in Week 6 against the Ravens, but it would be great to resume practicing in full tomorrow. If active, Judkins could be limited to a run-centric role, with Sampson also technically being on track to play.

    Jaylen Wright (foot) remained limited in Thursday’s practice.

    Wright played through this listing ahead of Week 5, but it appears that he simply won’t shake it this year. It makes him hard to trust him as someone who could suddenly usurp the lead role from Ollie Gordon, but we’d be surprised if he didn’t play in Week 7.
