Outlook RJ Harvey

Prominent Third-Down Role and Pass-Catching Upside Make Him an Intriguing Mid-Round Target

Head coach Sean Payton has made it clear that RJ Harvey is ticketed for a prominent third-down role behind starter J.K. Dobbins in Denver's backfield. Coming off an offseason shoulder procedure, Harvey has spent the summer intently studying the league's elite runners to expand his multifaceted skill set.

Our models project him for 550 rushing yards and 5 scores, complemented by a robust 45 receptions for 335 yards and 4 receiving touchdowns. His primary utility stems from a secure pass-catching profile, making him a reliable option in PPR leagues where catching out of the backfield elevates his weekly floor.

His ADP has settled in the early seventh round around 71 overall, showing stable market pricing following minor early-summer fluctuations. For managers seeking a high-upside complementary back with established receiving utility, Harvey represents an appealing draft-day target.

Outlook Kenny Gainwell

Solid PPR Depth And Pass-Catching Upside In Tampa Bay

Operating as the primary backup behind Bucky Irving in Tampa Bay's backfield, Kenny Gainwell projects to carve out a steady complementary role. Our season projections anticipate 125 rushing attempts for 425 yards and four touchdowns, complemented by 40 receptions for 325 yards and two scores.

Looking at the draft market, his ADP has hovered right around the 100-pick mark over the past month. After seeing a slight dip into the 104 range in late July, his cost has stabilized, making him an appealing target for managers seeking reliable depth in the middle rounds.

High roster ownership around 92% reflects strong fantasy confidence in his utility, even if his active starting percentage remains modest as a shared-backfield option. Managers drafting him can expect consistent PPR contributions whenever he is inserted into lineups.
