Outlook RJ Harvey

RJ Harvey vs KC at home — explosive third-down spark clouded by knee injury

Harvey popped up on the injury report with a knee issue and was limited in Thursday's practice, making him questionable heading into Sunday's divisional clash against Kansas City. Operating behind J.K. Dobbins on Denver's depth chart, Harvey provides electric splash plays, highlighted by a 52-yard screen touchdown last week. Check back frequently for updates on his game-day availability.

If active, our weekly projection forecasts around 9.1 fantasy points on roughly four carries and three catches. With his start rate dipping to 32% amid the injury designation and a low 40.5 game total, Harvey profiles as a high-variance flex option reliant on big passing plays.
