RJ Harvey misses practice Friday after a limited practice Thursday (knee); ruled out

Out (knee). Fantasy football: RJ Harvey misses practice Friday after a limited practice Thursday (knee); ruled out. Fantasy football impact and what to do.

By Fantasy Roundup Staff · October 30, 2026

RJ Harvey did not practise Friday after practising in a limited capacity Thursday with a knee injury and has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Kansas City.

Harvey's absence opens up carries and targets for Jonah Coleman, who already handled 9 carries and 2 targets on 49% of snaps in Week 7 against Arizona, well ahead of Harvey's 3 carries and 2 targets on 26% of snaps. Harvey can be dropped in most formats given his limited role even when healthy and Coleman's hold on the lead work.

Fantasy impact

Player by player

RJ Harvey

Harvey is out for Sunday, so he does nothing for a fantasy lineup until he is cleared. In Week 7 against Arizona he posted 3 carries for 6 yards, 2 catches for 54 yards and 1 TD on 2 targets on 26% of snaps for 13.0 half-PPR points. Over his last three games he has averaged 4.0 carries and 2.3 targets a game on 34% of snaps for 8.9 half-PPR points a game, but the workload distribution is volatile: he had 6 carries in Week 6 and 3 in Weeks 5 and 7.

Jonah Coleman had 9 carries and 2 targets on 49% of snaps in Week 7, against Harvey's 3 carries and 2 targets on 26%, making Harvey's role far from secure even when healthy. Harvey is scoring 2.9 half-PPR points a game above what his usage predicts over his last three games (10th of 105 running backs), so some touchdown or big-play luck that may not repeat. His efficiency rating of 80 ranks 12th of 111 running backs and his receiving rating of 89 ranks 7th, but his opportunity rating of 31 ranks just 40th. With Coleman leading the backfield and J.K. Dobbins also involved, Harvey can be dropped in most formats.

What to do

• Bench RJ Harvey in all formats this week with his out designation.

• Add Jonah Coleman in leagues where he is available, as he will see expanded work in Harvey's absence.

• Drop RJ Harvey in most formats given his limited role even when healthy and Coleman's hold on the lead work.
