RJ Harvey sustained a rib injury last week, but he is practicing in full so it doesn't look like a concern for Week 16. Since Week 11, Harvey has averaged 18 touches and 69.3 total yards as the RB12 in fantasy points per game. During this span, among 51 qualifying backs, he has ranked 25th in missed tackle rate, 12th in rushing success rate, and 44th in yards after contact per attempt. This week, he'll encounter ANOTHER brutal run defense. Since Week 11, Jacksonville has allowed the fewest rushing yards per game, the lowest explosive run rate, and the fourth-lowest missed tackle rate. Harvey will need to rely upon volume and touchdown equity again.

RJ Harvey suffered a rib injury late in the fourth quarter, putting his status in question for Week 16. Also lost a fumble.  If Harvey can't go, Jaleel McLaughlin and Tyler Badie figure to split touches in the Broncos' backfield. McLaughlin is likely to see more base work and red-zone usage with Badie working more as a pass-catcher on long down and distance.

Harvey might also be a landmine play this week if he is less than 100%. Jaguars are allowing the fewest rushing yards per game to opposing RBs.
