Outlook RJ Harvey

Dual-Threat Back Offers Excellent PPR Value in Denver's Shared Backfield

RJ Harvey enters his second NFL season as Denver's projected change-of-pace and pass-catching back. Listed behind veteran J.K. Dobbins on the depth chart, Harvey is poised to secure a significant share of the backfield workload, particularly in passing situations where his receiving skills shine.

Our models project Harvey to compile 123 carries for 517 yards and five scores, alongside 44 receptions for 321 yards through the air. This dual-threat ability builds on his 2025 rookie campaign, where he caught 47 passes, establishing a highly reliable floor in PPR formats.

His ADP has shown significant volatility, peaking in the early third round before settling back to a more reasonable late-fifth-round price. At this stabilized draft cost, Harvey represents a stellar value opportunity in PPR leagues, as his projected target share offers strong weekly flex utility.

Outlook Jonathon Brooks

Explosive ACL Comeback Sparking Massive Market Hype and Late-Round Value Potential

After missing the entire 2025 season recovering from consecutive ACL injuries, Brooks is finally back on the field. Coaches and teammates are raving about his spring workouts, noting that his sharp, explosive cuts look impressive. While he is not yet participating in full team reps, his surgeon has cleared him for offseason activities, and he is reportedly nearing full strength.

Our projections currently slot Brooks behind Chuba Hubbard in the Panthers' backfield hierarchy. We expect a shared workload initially, projecting Brooks for 110 carries, 496 rushing yards, and three touchdowns. While his current roster percentage sits at just 11%, his target share could quickly grow if he recovers his pre-injury form and secures passing-down duties over Hubbard.

This positive medical buzz has sent his draft cost soaring. His ADP has climbed significantly over the past month, moving from a late-round flyer at 162 to a much pricier pick around 130. At this rising cost in 1.0 PPR formats, he remains an intriguing high-upside stash, but fantasy managers must weigh the risk of his recovery timeline against this rapidly shrinking draft-day discount.
