Najee Harris Could Have Bigger Role in Week 2

Monday, September 8, 6:06 PM

Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh said that the team planned to give running back Najee Harris 12 to 15 plays in the Week 1 season opener last Friday in Brazil against the Kansas City Chiefs and capped him at 12. However, Harbaugh said Harris' workload could change in a Week 2 divisional clash on Monday night against the Las Vegas Raiders. Harris was only on the field for 12 plays last Friday in the 27-21 win but managed just one carry for five yards while catching his only target for another five-yard pickup. Meanwhile, first-round rookie Omarion Hampton led the Bolts' backfield with 15 carries for 48 yards (3.2 yards per tote) while adding two catches for 13 yards. Harris missed almost all of training camp and the entire preseason with an eye injury, which is why L.A. eased him in. While he could see the field more in Week 2, he still won't be much more than a shaky RB3/flex in fantasy.

RJ Harvey Carries Flex Value in Week 2

Saturday, September 13, 9:47 AM

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.
