Fox Sports selects RJ Harvey as Broncos breakout player for 2026

Fox Sports writer Ralph Vicchiano identified Denver Broncos running back RJ Harvey as a primary breakout candidate for the 2026 NFL season. Harvey, who recorded 896 yards from scrimmage and 12 touchdowns during his 2025 rookie campaign, emerged as a regular contributor following an injury to J.K. Dobbins. Analysts project that Harvey will maintain a significant role within a committee backfield alongside Dobbins during the upcoming schedule. His ability to contribute in both the run and pass game makes him a primary complement to quarterback Bo Nix. Harvey demonstrated his versatility during the preseason, including a touchdown reception from Nix. The team begins regular-season play against the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday night.
