2025 Fantasy Outlook
Harvey originally was recruited to Virginia to play quarterback, but at 5-foot-8, 205 pounds, that would have been a disorienting sight. He found his true calling upon transferring to UCF, where he moved to running back and caught fire. After an initial redshirt season, Harvey went nuts the next three years, turning 576 carries into 3,789 yards (6.6 YPC) and 43 touchdowns in 38 games. Harvey was also lethal as a receiver, turning 79 targets into 61 receptions for 720 yards and five touchdowns (77.2 percent catch rate, 9.1 YPT). While he might look small at a glance, Harvey is densely built for his height, with a low center of gravity that makes him difficult to tackle. He thrived as a workhorse the last two years, and he may quickly emerge as a starter for the Broncos after they drafted him in the second round, 60th overall, this spring. His prospects took a bit of a hit when the Broncos signed J.K. Dobbins in June, but the team doesn't have much else in the backfield, returning Audric Estime and Jaleel McLaughlin. Perhaps Harvey was a surprising second-round pick, but no one should be surprised if he takes over the Denver offense in 2025. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Finds end zone in win
Harvey rushed four times for zero yards and caught one of two targets for a two-yard touchdown in Sunday's 33-32 win over the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Harvey was able to save an otherwise quiet day with a two-yard touchdown catch late in the fourth quarter to bring the Broncos within three points of the Giants before Denver would ultimately go on to win. The rookie running back played just 20 of the Broncos' 81 offensive snaps, behind both J.K. Dobbins (40) and Tyler Badie (21). Harvey continues to see a modest role in the Broncos' offense, limiting his upside as a rusher. Despite seeing an uptick in his usage as a pass catcher in recent weeks, the 24-year-old's two targets against the Giants were his fewest since Week 2. Barring an injury to Dobbins, Harvey will remain difficult to trust for consistent fantasy production going forward. Up next for Denver is a Week 8 matchup against the Cowboys' vulnerable run defense, which could provide an opportunity for a bounce-back performance for the UCF product.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Predicted to overtake Dobbins
Maurice Jones-Drew of NFL.com expects Harvey to outproduce J.K. Dobbins in 2025.
ANALYSIS
The Broncos reshaped their backfield by drafting Harvey in the second round of April's draft and then signing Dobbins to a one-year deal in June. Dobbins rushed for 905 yards and nine touchdowns with the Chargers in the 2024 regular season, but Jones-Drew believes Harvey's three-down skill set will help the rookie ultimately emerge as Denver's top option at running back.
