Outlook RJ Harvey
Passing-Down Carve-Out Creates Value Following Draft-Day Slide
Operating behind J.K. Dobbins in Denver's backfield committee, RJ Harvey enters his second NFL season with a clear passing-down niche. Head coach Sean Payton noted that Harvey is poised to serve as the Broncos' primary third-down back, which guarantees steady route participation and receiving volume.
The draft market has cooled considerably on Harvey over recent weeks. After going off boards near pick 65 in late July, his ADP steadily plummeted toward pick 125 as early-down work shifted toward Dobbins. In 1.0 PPR leagues, this steep slide turns Harvey into an enticing value steal.
Our models project Harvey for 150 rushing attempts, 575 rushing yards, and 42 receptions for 315 receiving yards with nine combined touchdowns (180.0 fantasy points). While a 10% active start rate keeps him on fantasy benches early, his pass-catching floor offers dependable depth with contingency upside.

Outlook Mike Washington
Explosive Preseason Emergence Positions Rookie as High-Upside Stash
Drafted in the fourth round, Mike Washington quickly turned heads this preseason by racking up 168 rushing yards on 23 carries. Offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak strongly endorsed the rookie as an ideal scheme fit, and Washington's explosive playmaking has cemented him as the primary backup behind Ashton Jeanty.
Fantasy managers have taken notice, driving Washington's roster rate from negligible numbers in early August up to 64%. His draft cost steadily climbed toward an ADP of 190 after peaking near 167 during preseason action. With a minimal 2% start rate, the market views him strictly as a bench hold, which our analysis flags as an intriguing late-round opportunity.
Our models project Washington for 115 carries, 450 rushing yards, and four rushing touchdowns, alongside 20 receptions for 125 yards. While he enters the season without guaranteed standalone volume, any missed time for the starting backfield would immediately thrust him into high-priority fantasy utility.
