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 Kimani Vidal

Rising Draft Capital Clashes with Depth Chart Struggles and Trade Rumors

Kimani Vidal enters his third season facing stiff roster competition with the Chargers. He sits behind Omarion Hampton and Keaton Mitchell on the depth chart, limiting his immediate path to volume. After posting a career-high 155 carries in 2025, his projected workload has scaled back. Our projections slate him for just 54 carries and 217 rushing yards as a depth piece.

Despite his depth chart placement and recent news highlighting him as a potential summer trade candidate, Vidal's fantasy draft stock has risen. His 1.0 PPR ADP climbed from 224 in early May to 188 in June. This climbing momentum shows fantasy managers are willing to take late-round flyers on his talent, hoping for a role change.

We project Vidal to finish with 53.5 fantasy points, making him a depth-dependent stash. At his current climbing cost, he is looking like an over-hyped market reach unless injuries strike above him on the roster.
