    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.

    Whoa, that escalated quickly. Harvey reportedly suffered a knee injury in practice this week that initially caused the Broncos to rule him out for Week 8, with the team then making the procedural move of placing him on injured reserve Saturday. Harvey will now miss the next four games, at minimum, as he rehabs the injury, leaving rookie Jonah Coleman and veteran J.K. Dobbins to handle primary backfield duties with Tyler Badie also on injured reserve. Coleman warrants weekly FLEX status, at minimum.
  • DEN Running Back #12
    Harvey was added to the injury report Thursday with a knee injury before being unable to practice Friday, ultimately ruled out for the team’s divisional clash against the Chiefs. Expect Jonah Coleman to serve as the primary rusher in addition to the possibility he sees his pass game involvement tick up in the absences of both Harvey and Tyler Badie, the latter of whom is on injured reserve. The increase in opportunity is enough to vault Coleman into viable FLEX territory for Week 8.
  • DEN Running Back #12
    Harvey was added to the injury report Thursday after being limited in practice due to a knee injury, something fantasy managers will want to monitor as the weekend approaches. Either way, Harvey now has two healthy backs to compete with for touches with the return of Jonah Coleman in Week 7, keeping him on the fringes of FLEX consideration entering a difficult matchup against the Chiefs.
  • DEN Running Back #12
    Harvey only ran the ball three times for six yards. Jonah Coleman, who was active for the first time since Week 2, ran nine times and also caught a pair of passes. Harvey’s role took a hit, but he made the most of his limited opportunities with a 52-yard screen in the third quarter. Sean Payton’s play-call schemed half of the Cardinals’ defense out of the play and Harvey blew by the other half on his way to the end zone. Despite the spike week for fantasy managers, Harvey’s declining role will have him tumbling down the running back ranks for Week 8. He will be on the RB3/4 border versus Kansas City next week.
  • DEN Running Back #20
    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.
  • DEN Running Back #12
    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.

    Bengals designated Andrei Iosivas (thumb) to return from injured reserve.

    Iosivas will practice today for the first time since injuring his thumb in Week 2. The Bengals have 21 days to officially activate him from injured reserve. He will likely reclaim his No. 3 role once healthy, though we don’t expect much fantasy value to come of it.

    Ravens signed K Harrison Mevis to their practice squad.

    The team added Riley Patterson to their active roster yesterday, but both kickers will likely have a chance to earn the job in practice this week. We aren’t expecting great fantasy numbers from either kicker with Lamar Jackson no longer fueling the offense.

    NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports the Broncos have revoked their trade for Chargers LB Daiyan Henley because of a failed physical.

    The move, or lack thereof, was announced by Denver around midnight, and Rapoport later gave the reasoning. Henley has been playing through a knee issue for multiple weeks, though he has also dealt with other injuries that could have caused the Broncos to back out. Denver originally agreed to give fourth- and fifth-round picks to acquire Henley. He will now return to the Chargers. As Rapoport points out, the 0-8 Chargers now officially made zero trades ahead of the deadline.

    Deommodore Lenoir (foot) did not practice Wednesday.

    Lenoir and Renardo Green (back) were among the two 49ers cornerbacks not practicing on Wednesday. Fellow cornerback Upton Stout (shoulder/neck) was a limited participant. With the slew of secondary injuries, the Cowboys wideouts will have an easier chance at chunk gains against San Francisco for Week 10.

    Leonard Williams (stinger) did not practice Wednesday.

    Williams missed last week due to a stinger and continues to be sidelined. He will need to practice in some fashion to have a chance at playing in Week 10 against the Raiders.

    Rashid Shaheed (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday’s practice.

    Shaheed has missed the last two weeks with a knee injury, but he was able to practice in full to open Week 10. A full practice participation is a good sign we’ll see Shaheed on the field for Week 10 against the Raiders. He has been splitting WR2 opportunities with Cooper Kupp this year and belongs on fantasy benches until further notice.

    Charles Cross (ankle) did not practice Wednesday.

    Cross remains sidelined with a high ankle sprain he suffered in Week 7. He is yet to return to practice and therefore is trending towards missing Week 10 against the Raiders; a full practice participation would be needed to feel confident about his chances of playing this week.

    Travon Walker (rib) did not practice Wednesday.

    Walker suffered a rib injury in practice last week but played through it in the Jaguars’ Week 9 win over the Ravens. He starts out the week not practicing, but this may just be maintenance instead of an aggravation. Walker will need to practice in some fashion later this week, but he is not in jeopardy of missing Week 10 against the Titans just yet.

    Chris Rodriguez (hand) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

    Rodriguez was limited last week and played through the hand injury in the Jaguars’ Week 9 win over the Ravens. He was limited again to open Week 10 but is still trending to play against the Titans. With Bhayshul Tuten still dealing with ankle and foot injuries, Rodriguez is a good bet to split touches this week and achieve FLEX value against a weak Titans defense.

    Jakobi Meyers (ankle) did not practice Wednesday.

    Meyers was listed with hamstring and ankle injuries last week, but played through them in the Jaguars’ Week 9 win over the Ravens. It is discouraging that he did not practice after a mini-bye, but the good news is that he only has the ankle designation now, no hamstring. Meyers is not yet in jeopardy of missing Week 10, but will need to practice in some fashion for fantasy managers to feel confident about his chances of playing against the Titans.
