Outlook RJ Harvey
RJ Harvey at Kansas City — Change-of-pace role limits standalone value
Harvey opens the season operating behind J.K. Dobbins in the Broncos' backfield rotation, slotting in primarily as a complementary change-of-pace and passing-down option. While Denver's coaching staff highlighted his pass-catching utility earlier this summer, he enters Monday night's road matchup against the Chiefs purely in a rotational capacity without guaranteed early-down work.
Our weekly projections expect around 42 total yards on six carries and two to three receptions, yielding approximately 9.1 fantasy points. Despite being rostered in 93% of leagues, fantasy managers have started him in fewer than 10% of lineups, accurately reflecting his volatile touch ceiling. In a tight divisional battle, he is best viewed as a bench stash until his weekly touch share expands.

Outlook Emmett Johnson
Emmett Johnson vs. Broncos — Backup Role Caps Week 1 Value
The rookie enters his NFL regular-season debut operating as the backup behind Kenneth Walker on Kansas City's depth chart. Head coach Andy Reid praised Johnson's hard-running style and tackle-breaking ability earlier in the preseason, but he remains in a strictly complementary role for Monday's divisional matchup against Denver.
Our weekly projection forecasts modest usage, slating Johnson for roughly 4 carries, 15 rushing yards, and a single reception for 3.4 fantasy points. While fantasy managers have stashed him in 18% of leagues as a handcuff, his near-zero start percentage indicates he belongs firmly on fantasy benches until his role expands.
