RJ Harvey was limited at practice Thursday with a knee injury. He is listed questionable for Sunday's home game against Kansas City.
Harvey's workload has shrunk since Jonah Coleman returned from an ankle injury. In Week 7 against Arizona, Coleman had 9 carries and 2 targets on 49% of snaps, against Harvey's 3 carries and 2 targets on 26%. Over his last three games, Harvey has averaged 34% of snaps, a 10% target share, 2.3 targets and 4.0 carries a game for 8.9 half-PPR points a game. Even if he clears the injury report, his role behind Coleman makes him a risky flex option.
Fantasy impact
Player by player
RJ Harvey
Harvey managed only 3 carries for 6 yards in Week 7 against Arizona, though he did catch 2 passes for 54 yards and a touchdown on 2 targets for 13.0 half-PPR points. Coleman's return has reduced Harvey's role sharply. Over his last three games, Harvey has averaged 2.3 targets and 4.0 carries a game on 34% of snaps. His receiving value remains intact, with a receiving score of 89 (7th of 111 running backs), but his opportunity score sits at just 31 (40th).
A limited practice is not a guarantee Harvey plays. Check the inactive list about 90 minutes before kickoff. This week's opponent, Kansas City, has allowed 17.2 half-PPR points a game to running backs, the 8th fewest of 32. Even if he suits up, Harvey's shrinking workload behind Coleman makes him a low-floor PPR flex option with touchdown-dependent upside. Full-PPR managers can consider him if desperate for receiving production from the running back spot.
What to do
• Check the inactive list about 90 minutes before kickoff to confirm RJ Harvey's availability.
• Bench Harvey in most formats given his reduced workload behind Jonah Coleman, even if he plays.
• Full-PPR managers desperate at flex can gamble on his receiving upside, but understand the risk with his limited opportunity.
