Outlook RJ Harvey

Solid Pass-Catching Role Offers PPR Floor Despite Committee Concerns in Denver

RJ Harvey enters his sophomore season as the primary backup to J.K. Dobbins in Denver's backfield. While his 3.7 yards per carry average during his rookie campaign raised some eyebrows, our models project him to maintain a steady complementary role. We project him for 126 rushing attempts and 517 yards on the ground, sharing the workload with Dobbins while keeping rookie Jonah Coleman at bay.

Harvey's true fantasy value lies in his pass-catching ability. After securing 47 receptions for 356 yards and five touchdowns last year, our projections expect him to remain highly active in the passing game with 45 catches. This robust receiving floor explains why he maintains a 100% roster rate and is actively started in 76% of fantasy leagues.

Looking at draft trends, Harvey's ADP spiked into the third round in late May before stabilizing near pick 61. At this mid-round price, his stable receiving profile in a 1.0 PPR format represents a strong value rather than an over-hyped reach, making him a reliable flex option with RB2 upside if injuries strike the depth chart.

Efficient Dual-Threat Back Poised to Lead Steelers Backfield Under New Scheme

Jaylen Warren enters the 2026 season atop the Steelers' depth chart, ready to lead the backfield under new head coach Mike McCarthy. While he shares touches with Rico Dowdle, Warren's historical efficiencyβ€”averaging over 4.3 yards per carry in each of his four seasonsβ€”solidifies his lead role. His elite tackle-avoiding ability helps him maximize every touch.

Our projections are optimistic about his output, slotting him for 172 carries, 801 rushing yards, and five touchdowns. Also a high-end receiver, we project him to grab 42 receptions for 315 yards and a touchdown, securing a highly reliable PPR floor.

Warren's ADP has fluctuated, starting near 80 in May, spiking to the mid-30s, and now settling around 67. At this price, our models view him as a steal. With a 100% roster percentage and a rising 73% start rate, the market is rightfully gaining confidence in his weekly utility.
