Ashton Jeanty A Risky Pick Now With Injury, Emergence of Mike Washington Jr.

Saturday, September 5, 7:01 AM

Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty suffered a sprained ankle in the preseason rather than a more serious injury that was feared and ESPN Insider Adam Schefter said he has a "legitimate chance to play in Week 1 against the Miami Dolphins." However with the injury and the emergence of backup running back Mike Washington Jr. in camp there is real worry in selecting Jeanty in the late first round which was where he was projected prior to the injury. The good news is it was only a sprained ankle, the bad news is there could be more of a split in carries than originally thought with Washington. Washington has looked good in camp and is averaging 7.3 yards per carry in preseason games. General manager John Spytek has praised Washington this fall, "We have an expectation that he's going to help us win football games this year," Spytek told Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com.

RJ Harvey to See a "Big Role" as Broncos' Pass-Catching Back

Friday, September 4, 9:27 AM

After scoring 12 touchdowns as a rookie, Denver Broncos running back RJ Harvey has been arguably the least discussed back on the Broncos' roster for most of the summer, but beat reporter Zac Stevens does not believe that should be the case, as he foresees a big role for the 2025 second-round pick. In a recent appearance with Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team, Stevens broke down the entire Broncos running back room and said that Harvey "has really established himself as the third-down running back and the pass-catching running back," comparing his role to that of Alvin Kamara in Sean Payton's Saints offenses. While rookie Jonah Coleman has emerged as a more likely true handcuff to starter J.K. Dobbins, Harvey is expected to see a significant role in the passing game after catching 47 passes as a rookie. As RotoBaller's RB36, Harvey is a player to target in full-PPR leagues, and he has the spike-week potential to return tremendous value from the middle rounds of drafts.
