RJ Harvey · RB · ADP 54
“The Broncos reached on a Day 3 talent. That’s the only reason we’re having this RJ Harvey conversation. You can keep overdrafting a late breakout, undersized 24 year old RB that had questionable traits facing a questionable level of college competition in the 1st round of your #Dynasty rookie drafts due to a good landing spot (that just added a veteran), but I won’t be. RBBC was expected and is still expected. Carry on.”

What Would Make This True
Take is TRUE if RJ Harvey underperforms his Dynasty rookie draft ADP and does not emerge as a featured back due to RBBC; Take is FALSE if Harvey becomes a primary fantasy asset in the Broncos backfield and outperforms his 1st-round dynasty value

Verdict
MOSTLY WRONGThe bust call largely did not pan out. Harvey finished his 2025 rookie season with 896 scrimmage yards and 12 touchdowns across 17 games, led the Broncos in TDs, was named Fantasy Rookie of the Year by some outlets, and helped Denver reach the AFC Championship Game. The expert was correct that RBBC was real early on — Harvey opened as a clear RB2 behind Dobbins and his rushing efficiency was poor (3.7 YPC, 49th in PFF rushing grade) — but Dobbins' Week 10 injury elevated Harvey to the lead back role, and his 12 TDs and pass-catching upside made him a meaningful fantasy contributor, finishing well inside the top-24 at RB rather than as a bust.
