Fantasy football managers weigh J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey in Denver backfield
Summary

Fantasy football draft preparation for the 2026 NFL season has created uncertainty regarding the Denver Broncos running back rotation. J.K. Dobbins enters the season as the primary back with an average draft position of 81st overall, while RJ Harvey carries a higher ADP of 62nd overall. Although Harvey provides utility in PPR scoring formats due to his receiving ability, Dobbins represents better draft value given his role as the lead runner. Dobbins previously ranked among the league's top rushers in the 2025 season prior to sustaining a foot injury. Rookie running back Jonah Coleman is currently positioned with an ADP of 126th overall and serves as a potential depth option. Strategies for managing the Broncos' backfield include targeting Dobbins for early volume or selecting Coleman as a backup if Dobbins remains unavailable.
