Should You Start or Sit RJ Harvey in Week 2?
RJ Harvey held a slim 7-5 snap edge over J.K. Dobbins in the first quarter, but it was 32-15 the rest of the way in favor of the veteran.
This was about as even of a rotation as you can get with the two essentially just alternating drives; the Dobbins drives just happened to last a bit longer, thus resulting in his 18-7 touch edge for the week.
I’m not labeling that as predictive and still like the rookie to control this backfield when it matters most. We caught a glimpse of what is possible with Harvey by way of a 50-yard run in the fourth quarter. Denver made him a second-round pick after three straight seasons of averaging over 6.0 yards per carry at UCF, and given that they are a win-now team, I expect them to lean into that upside sooner than later.
For now, we wait. All things even, I think Harvey works into the lead role by the middle of the season, but there’s a good chance not all things are even. Dobbins was drafted in 2020 and has played in 55.9% of potential games since.
Stay the course.
