Schefter: Harvey (hamstring) is "unlikely to play"

Schefter: Harvey (hamstring) is "unlikely to play"

NBC Sports sports

Key Points:

  • Broncos RB RJ Harvey is a questionable FLEX start due to limited touches last week and only two limited practices this week; rookie RB Jonah Coleman and J.K. Dobbins may share backfield duties if Harvey is limited.
  • Harvey participated in a limited practice after missing Wednesday's session, but his effectiveness remains uncertain; Coleman is viewed as a valuable stash in fantasy leagues given his potential role.
  • The Broncos offense struggled in Week 1 under new offensive coordinator Davis Webb, with QB Russell Wilson (Nix) criticizing execution despite following the game plan; Denver managed only 176 total yards and faces a tough Week 2 matchup against the Jaguars' defense.
  • J.K. Dobbins led the backfield in carries but was limited by the poor offensive environment and a strong opposing run defense; he is not recommended as a fantasy start for Week 2 against the pass-heavy Jaguars.
  • Rookie Jonah Coleman, confirmed as the third-string running back ahead of Javonte Williams, has a three-down skill set and is expected to be part of the backfield rotation, making him a high-upside stash option in deeper fantasy leagues.
