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.

Outlook Travis Etienne
Lead Role in Transitioned Backfield Offers High-End RB2 Value
Travis Etienne enters the season as the lead back for New Orleans, sitting ahead of veteran Alvin Kamara on the depth chart. After a productive 2025 campaign with 275 carries, our models project him to lead this backfield again. We project 235 rushes for 1,029 yards and six touchdowns on the ground.
Etienne’s draft momentum has seen notable fluctuation recently. In late May, his PPR ADP slipped to 56, but it has since rebounded to a stable price of 36.00 in early June. At this third-round cost, we view him as an excellent value opportunity for a proven playmaker.
In addition to his rushing workload, Etienne remains a viable threat in PPR formats with a projected 41 receptions on 48 targets. While the season-ending loss of offensive lineman Nick Saldiveri slightly impacts the blocking upfront, Etienne's versatile profile secures a strong weekly fantasy floor.
