Fantasy Football Player Notes

Denver was among the more desirable possible landing spots for a rookie running back this year, and Broncos second-rounder R.J. Harvey could have a substantial fantasy impact right away. Harvey is on the smaller side (5-9, 208), but he has outstanding quickness, lateral agility and vision. He's also a capable pass catcher, and running backs in Sean Payton's offense typically catch a lot of passes. Payton likes to use multiple running backs, and the Broncos signed veteran J.K. Dobbins after drafting Harvey. But there's little doubt that Harvey will have a prominent role in what should be a pretty good offense.

After tearing his Achilles in Week 1 of the 2023 season, J.K. Dobbins made a successful return in 2024, rolling up 905 rushing yards and nine touchdowns for the Chargers in 13 games. Dobbins now joins the Broncos, where he'll be part of Sean Payton's backfield. Payton likes to use multiple running backs, and no doubt rookie R.J. Harvey will be prominently involved. But Dobbins figures to have a role as well, and it's possible he'll be Payton's preferred goal-line back.
