Bounces back with two scores on SNF
Harvey ran the ball 13 times for 35 yards and two touchdowns while corralling three of four targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 27-26 overtime win over the Commanders.
Analysis: Harvey finished as the star of Sunday Night Football after giving Denver its third lead in a back-and-forth contest with his first trip to the end zone in the third quarter, following that up with a second touchdown in overtime that wound up being the game-deciding score. The second-round rookie fared better this time around compared to his last outing starting in place of J.K. Dobbins (foot), when he handled a similar workload but failed to hit pay dirt against the Chiefs on Nov. 16. Harvey…read more

Fails to make impact Sunday
Harvey carried the ball 11 times for 30 yards and caught all three of his targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 22-19 win over Kansas City.
Analysis: With J.K. Dobbins (foot) done for the rest of the regular season, Harvey stepped into the top spot in the Broncos' backfield for the first time but failed to make much of an impact. Jaleel McLaughlin also vultured a four-yard TD in the third quarter that might have made Harvey's performance a little more palatable for fantasy investors. The rookie heads into a Week 12 bye with 439 scrimmage yards and six total touchdowns (two on the ground, four through the air) in his first 11 NFL games.

Set for RB1 role with Dobbins out
Harvey is set to lead the Broncos backfield Sunday against the Chiefs due to J.K. Dobbins (foot) being ruled out for the contest.
Analysis: Dobbins emerged from last Thursday's win against the Raiders with a foot injury, and as of Tuesday, a move to injured reserve was considered a possibility for the sixth-year pro, per Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette. After Dobbins was ruled out for Week 11 action Friday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported that the running back was in line to be out for an extended period. Harvey has recorded 10 or more touches in a game only once so far in his career (18 in Week 4), but the rookie…read more

Likely lead back with Dobbins hurt
Harvey is expected to step into a larger role while J.K. Dobbins recovers from a foot injury, Zac Stevens of DNVR Sports reports.
Analysis: A concrete recovery timeline for Dobbins has yet to emerge, but Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reported Tuesday that Dobbins is a candidate for injured reserve, suggesting a high likelihood of a multi-week absence. If Dobbins is ultimately ruled out Sunday against the Chiefs, Harvey would likely take over the lead role in Denver's backfield, though Tyler Badie and Jaleel McLaughlin would probably rotate in as well.

Little with six touches Thursday
Harvey rushed four times for nine yards and brought in two of three targets for nine yards in the Broncos' 10-7 win over the Raiders on Thursday night. He also returned two kickoffs for 35 yards.
Analysis: Harvey's veteran backfield mate J.K. Dobbins appeared to be examined by trainers on the sideline at one point, but the rookie still logged very modest action from scrimmage. After breaking out with a 7-46-2 rushing line in Week 8 against the Cowboys, Harvey has logged only six combined carries for 15 yards over the subsequent pair of contests, although he did tally five receptions for 51 yards and a touchdown in the Week 9 win over the Texans. Nevertheless, Dobbins remains the unquestioned lead…read more

Hits paydirt again
Harvey gained five rushing yards on two carries and caught all five of his targets for 51 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 18-15 win over the Texans.
Analysis: The rookie actually led the Broncos in catches and receiving yards, setting new personal bests in those categories and capping his day with a 27-yard TD from Bo Nix early in the fourth quarter. Harvey has emerged as a big-play threat in Sean Payton's offense, getting into the end zone in three straight games and scoring five touchdowns in total -- two on the ground and three through the air -- despite seeing only 20 touches during that stretch. Harvey will look to keep making an impact as the…read more

Scores three times in Week 8 win
Harvey carried the ball seven times for 42 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 44-24 win over the Cowboys, and he hauled in his only target for a five-yard touchdown.
Analysis: Harvey scored on the ground via 40- and 1-yard carries, the first two rushing touchdowns of his NFL career, while adding a third receiving score to his season totals. Meanwhile, top running back J.K. Dobbins rushed for 111 yards on 15 carries and caught both of his targets for 10 yards. While Dobbins remains the lead backfield option for Denver, continued impressive performances on Harvey's part could allow his usage to steadily grow as the 2025 campaign continues. The rookie second-round pick…read more

Finds end zone in win
Harvey rushed four times for zero yards and caught one of two targets for a two-yard touchdown in Sunday's 33-32 win over the Giants.
Analysis: Harvey was able to save an otherwise quiet day with a two-yard touchdown catch late in the fourth quarter to bring the Broncos within three points of the Giants before Denver would ultimately go on to win. The rookie running back played just 20 of the Broncos' 81 offensive snaps, behind both J.K. Dobbins (40) and Tyler Badie (21). Harvey continues to see a modest role in the Broncos' offense, limiting his upside as a rusher. Despite seeing an uptick in his usage as a pass catcher in recent…read more

Six touches in London win
Harvey rushed twice for four yards and brought in all four targets for 21 yards in the Broncos' 13-11 win over the Jets in London on Sunday.
Analysis: Harvey once again operated as the clear No. 2 back behind J.K. Dobbins, who significantly outpaced the rookie by 12 carries. However, Harvey continued to enjoy a solid pass-catching role, extending his streak of games with at least three receptions to four contests. Nevertheless, Harvey's persistently modest role will continue to render him as a deep-league-only option and large-field tournament play in DFS formats unless Dobbins sustains an injury.

Remains firmly behind Dobbins
Harvey rushed four times for 12 yards and brought in all three targets for 18 yards in the Broncos' 21-17 win over the Eagles on Sunday. He also returned four kickoffs for 83 yards.
Analysis: Harvey remained the clear No. 2 RB behind J.K. Dobbins, who logged 20 carries. Harvey did continue enjoying a bigger role in the passing game than his veteran teammate, but he was at his most productive in his returner role. As long as Dobbins remains healthy and productive, Harvey projects to remain in the same complementary role that's afforded him 8.6 touches per contest heading into a Week 6 matchup against the Jets in London next Sunday.

Impressive in multiple roles
Harvey rushed 14 times for 58 yards, brought in four of five targets for 40 yards and a touchdown and ran back two kickoffs for 58 yards in the Broncos' 28-3 win over the Bengals on Monday night.
Analysis: The rookie second-round pick saw his biggest opportunity yet with the Broncos dominating throughout the majority of the last three quarters, and Harvey put his touches to good use. He picked up a pair of first downs on his runs, and he recorded new career highs in receptions and receiving yards while scoring his first NFL touchdown on a 12-yard catch with just under five minutes remaining. Harvey still is a complementary option to lead back J.K. Dobbins, who gained 101 yards on 16 carries…read more

Garners five touches Sunday
Harvey rushed twice for two yards while catching all three of his targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Chargers.
Analysis: Harvey received his usual handful of touches while backing up J.K. Dobbins (11-83-1), but the former failed to make an impact on the box score in such a limited role. The 24-year-old Harvey is averaging six combined touches through his first three games as a pro. It appears that it will take an injury to Dobbins for Harvey to see significant touches in this offense. For now, the electric rookie is just a name worth monitoring as the Broncos prepare to host the Bengals on Monday Night Football…read more

Bottled up in loss
Harvey rushed the ball five times for eight yards in Sunday's 29-28 loss to the Colts. He added one reception on two targets for 16 yards.
Analysis: Harvey made the most of his limited touches in Week 1, but he couldn't repeat that same effort against the Colts. He was out-touched 15-6 by J.K. Dobbins, and Dobbins was also more effective with the opportunity. Harvey is a strong bench stash and can have productive games early this season, but it appears that will require him to be extremely efficient with limited touches.

Shows off explosiveness
Harvey rushed six times for 70 yards in Sunday's 20-12 win over the Titans. He added one reception on one target for -1 yards.
Analysis: Harvey alternated drives with J.K. Dobbins for most of the first half, though the Broncos relied heavily on Dobbins down the stretch to secure a victory in positive game script. The end result was that Harvey was out-touched 18-7 by Dobbins, but Harvey still managed to show off his explosiveness on a 50-yard run early in the fourth quarter, which ultimately set up a Dobbins score. While Harvey looks to be the second back in Denver for the time being, he still has a clear role in the offense and…read more

Four touches in preseason start
Harvey started the Broncos' 28-19 preseason win over the Saints on Saturday afternoon and rushed three times for four yards while securing his only target for one yard.
Analysis: Harvey was the first running back to record a carry, and he was in on Denver's first three possessions overall with the rest of the first-team offense. The rookie second-round pick got some solid work in during preseason, finishing Denver's three-game exhibition slate with a 13-47 rushing line and three receptions for seven yards on four targets. Harvey heads into his first NFL season set to operate in tandem with veteran J.K. Dobbins atop the Broncos' running back depth chart.

Rush TD in preseason win
Harvey rushed three times for 18 yards and a touchdown and brought in his only target for two yards in the Broncos' 27-7 preseason win over the Cardinals on Saturday night.
Analysis: Harvey, the first running back in the game for Denver, made good use of his trio of rushes, capping off a first-quarter drive he started with a two-yard catch by recording an eight-yard touchdown run up the middle. The rookie second-round pick saw a bit less work than in the preseason opener against the 49ers, but that could simply be a sign Harvey is already locked into what will likely be relatively high-volume No. 2 role behind J.K. Dobbins to open the season. Given his importance to the…read more

Eight total touches Saturday
Harvey rushed seven times for 25 yards and brought in one of two targets for four yards in the Broncos' 30-9 preseason win over the 49ers on Saturday night.
Analysis: Harvey had a prominent role in the Broncos' first possession, logging Denver's first touch and gaining three yards on that carry, then recording two more rush attempts totaling eight more yards later in the drive. The rookie second-round pick finished second in carries to Audric Estime, and he'll continue jostling for slotting in a busy Broncos backfield during the second preseason game against the Cardinals next Saturday night.

Listed fifth on depth chart
Harvey is listed fifth on Denver's initial preseason depth chart even though he's been repping as the No. 2 RB in practice, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Analysis: Multiple Denver beat writers have noted that coach Sean Payton almost always puts rookies at the bottom of the depth chart. Reports out of practice tell a different story than what's printed, with J.K. Dobbins atop the rotation and Harvey typically the second man up. The real question is how work will be split between the two come Week 1, although there is some chance Jaleel McLaughlin or one of the other depth backs poaches a few touches here and there. While Harvey is the clear choice in…read more

Impressing in camp
Harvey has drawn praise early in camp, impressing Denver's coaching staff with his explosiveness and speed, according to Nick Kosmider of The Athletic.
Analysis: With padded practices underway, Harvey has turned heads with his ability to maintain speed while making quick cuts to avoid defenders. After Tuesday's practice, head coach Sean Payton highlighted a play the rookie running back made during the session, saying Harvey "had a run today that was something, and we kind of turned and looked at each other." The UCF product demonstrated great decision-making on his way to multiple big gains. Harvey has even showed a willingness to step up into oncoming…read more

Inks rookie deal with Broncos
Harvey signed his four-year rookie contract with the Broncos on Friday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Harvey, the 60th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, is thus poised to claim a key role in the Broncos' offense as a rookie. Also in the mix for the team's carries this coming season are J.K. Dobbins, Audric Estime and Jaleel McLaughlin, but among the four, Harvey is arguably the higher-upside play in fantasy, which is reflected by his ADP as training camp approaches.

Gets backfield competition
Harvey has new backfield competition with the Broncos having agreed to terms with J.K. Dobbins on a one-year, $5.25 million contract Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Dobbins offers more experience than Audric Estime or Jaleel McLaughlin, with the 26-year-old having racked up 1,058 scrimmage yards and nine total touchdowns across 13 regular-season appearances with the Chargers in 2024 -- a tremendous rebound after three consecutive injury-riddled years in Baltimore. While Dobbins' impressive comeback year shouldn't be discounted, he still missed four games due to an MCL sprain and faded down the stretch. His 4.6 YPC on the season was buoyed by a strong…read more
