Who Should I Start? Jonathan Taylor or RJ Harvey

Saturday, September 13, 7:38 AM

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor will host the Denver Broncos in Week 2. Taylor turned in a solid, if unspectacular, Week 1 performance in a win over the Miami Dolphins, rushing for 71 yards and catching three passes for 27 yards. He will look to find the end zone against a talented Denver defense that allowed just the 21st-most fantasy points per game to running backs in 2024. The Broncos continued that trend in Week 1 as they shut down the running game of the Tennessee Titans, holding Tony Pollard to 3.3 yards per carry. Taylor should see plenty of volume, but the tough matchup downgrades him to more of a low-end RB1 in fantasy this weekend.

Denver Broncos rookie running back RJ Harvey carries flex value heading into a Week 2 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. While Harvey was competing for the starting job during training camp, the Broncos opted to lean on their veteran, J.K. Dobbins, in the season opener. During their victory over the Tennessee Titans, Dobbins carried the ball all 16 times while Harvey took just six carries. Despite the smaller workload, Harvey was every efficient in his role, totaling an impressive 70 yards, which led the team. Through the air, Harvey caught his lone target for -1 yards. While the No. 3 option, Tyler Badie, could also take opportunities away from Harvey, given his elite efficiency, the rookie should still provide low-end flex value in 12+ team leagues this weekend. However, Dobbins still figures to lead the team in carries.
