Should You Start or Sit RJ Harvey in Week 4?
This summer, I was investing in RJ Harvey quite a bit. I viewed it as EITHER a bet against JK Dobbins or a bet on Harvey himself. That either the rookie would earn the role outright or that it could fall into his lap courtesy of an injury-prone veteran ahead of him on the depth chart.
Well, neither has occurred, and now I think the second-round pick needs an injury in order for him to have a shot at mattering at all.
Sean Payton has felt zero obligation to get Harvey reps (sub-32% snap share in all three weeks) and, outside of one big run against the Titans in Week 1, he really hasn’t proven his coach wrong in questioning his readiness to produce at this level.
In the loss to the Chargers last week, 10 of Harvey’s 13 snaps resulted in routes run. I do think there is top-20 RB status in his profile should Dobbins go down, I just don’t see him getting a chance to showcase that in a meaningful way as things stand right now.
