R.J. Harvey's rookie season was a tale of two seasons centered around J.K. Dobbins being in the lineup and out of it. In Weeks 1-10, Harvey was the RB29 in fantasy points per game, averaging 29.1% of the snaps played with 7.5 touches and 38.9 total yards per game. In Weeks 11-18, with Dobbins out, he was the RB13 in fantasy points per game with 16.8 touches and 72.5 total yards per game while averaging 60.7% of the snaps played. With Dobbins back, I'm expecting Harvey to be the primary passing down back for Denver. As a pass catcher, he ranked sixth in target per route run rate and first downs per route run and tenth in yards per route run. Harvey is a PPR-focused flex play for Week 1. Last year, Kansas City allowed the 13th-most yards per target to running backs while ranking 17th in fantasy points per game allowed to receiving production.
