RJ Harvey fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 3 (2025). Should you start or sit RJ Harvey for fantasy football lineups?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12-14 Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-end RB3/FLEX
ANALYSIS: Denver Broncos rookie running back RJ Harvey has had a slow start to his NFL career. After competing for the starting job alongside veteran J.K. Dobbins during training camp, the coaching staff has opted to lean on the more experienced back through the opening weeks.
In Week 1, Harvey logged just six rushing attempts with one target on 22 offensive snaps. However, on those six carries, the former second-round pick was highly efficient, tallying 70 yards.
However, during their Week 2 loss to the Indianapolis Colts, Harvey took a step back. He logged only 17 offensive snaps and took just five rushing attempts for a mere eight yards. He saw two targets as a pass catcher and was able to bring in one for 16 yards.
During both of these games, Dobbins logged over 45 offensive snaps and has seen 50% of the team's total RB snaps. The former Charger has averaged 15.0 attempts per game with two touchdowns and averaged a strong 15.2 PPR points per game.
While the rookie will eventually see his role increase, given Dobbins's strong start ot the season, managers should not expect the backfield to shift any time soon. As a result, Harvey projects to be a low-end RB3/FLEX play facing a potent Charger defense in Week 3 that has been one of the best units in stopping the run.
In Week 1, they held Isiah Pacheco to just 25 yards and contained Ashton Jeanty to a mere 43 yards in the second week.
