RJ Harvey Still the Leader in a Crowded Backfield?

Wednesday, May 6, 7:47 AM

Denver Broncos running back RJ Harvey remains the projected No. 1 option atop the depth chart, but it would be surprising to see him carve out an every-down role after the team re-signed J.K. Dobbins and drafted Jonah Coleman. It took a while for Harvey to occupy a significant role as a rookie last season, and he only started averaging 16+ touches per game once Dobbins went down with an injury. Now that Dobbins is healthy and back on the roster, he should chip into Harvey's workload. Meanwhile, we expect Coleman to steal some touches, too. It might not happen right away since he's a rookie with Day 3 draft capital, but there have been plenty of analysts who view Coleman as an eventual three-down back and potential late-round steal. The problem with adding Coleman to the mix is that it doesn't just impact Harvey's redraft value, but it hurts him in dynasty leagues, too. He has fallen to RB25 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings, and it's difficult to envision him climbing much higher than that as the Broncos appear committed to a shared backfield.

Jaydon Blue News

Jaydon Blue Will Need to Show More in Year Two to Stick on Dynasty Rosters

Friday, May 1, 5:29 AM

Dallas Cowboys running back Jaydon Blue was a fifth-round pick in 2025, and after only one year in the league, he's already fighting for his roster life at the bottom of dynasty benches. Blue was a healthy scratch in 12 weeks as a rookie, and when he saw the field, he averaged only 3.4 yards per attempt. With Dallas extending Javonte Williams on a three-year, $24 million deal, meaningful reps will again be hard to come by, with Williams' 252 carries in 2025 ranking 10th in the league. Working in Blue's favor was one of the weakest running back draft classes in recent memory. With the Cowboys bypassing the position entirely, opting to spend most of their picks on defense, Blue's competition for primary backup duties will be fifth-year veteran Malik Davis, whose 2025 season was ended by eye and calf injuries, and fellow second-year player Phil Mafah. While the insurance role behind Williams offers little standalone value, an injury would make the Cowboys RB2 one of the more sought-after handcuffs in the league, so for dynasty managers with the luxury, the 22-year-old Blue should be held until news starts to emerge from camp about how the depth chart is shaping up.
