The Denver Broncos are going to be without starting running back J.K. Dobbins in Week 11. That means it’s the next man up. Enter RB RJ Harvey. Selected in the second round of the NFL Draft, Harvey was drafted with a starter pick. Now, it’s time to be a starter. Ahead of that, teammate Courtland Sutton praised Harvey, nicknaming the latter an ATH athlete. More on that below.
Courtland Sutton on RJ Harvey
Sutton said, “We call that boy the ‘ATH’ [athlete]. I’m sure in your profession, you can put together what that means. He’s not just a running back. He’s a very special dude. The dude can do a little bit of everything. The dude can run the ball obviously but watching him catch the ball out of the backfield and catching and carrying. The thing that’s scary is that I feel like he’s barely scratching the surface of his potential of what he can do in the league.”
Sutton’s comments come on the heels of head coach Sean Payton saying Harvey will obviously have more opportunities in Week 11. The Broncos’ offense is No. 14 in PFSN’s Offense Impact Score. Harvey is stepping into Dobbins’ vacated carries this week; the latter is No. 14 in PFSN’s RB Impact Score as well. Sutton continued talking about Harvey.
He said, “I think guys are just now seeing a little bit of what he’s capable of. He’s dangerous. The dude has incredible balance, incredible speed. You pair that up with a guy that can catch the ball out of the backfield, get matched up with a linebacker that can’t run as fast as him, it’s a dangerous combination. I’m looking forward to continuing to watch RJ flourish and develop and turn into the guy that we all know he can be, and he knows he can be.”
Sounds like Harvey is going to be the bellcow in Week 11, so scoop him up in fantasy football like an Athletic Greens morning ritual drink.

Elsewhere, the Broncos eye a critical win over the Chiefs in Week 11. A Broncos win in Week 11 puts the Chiefs’ odds to win the division at just 3%. And the Chiefs’ playoff odds would sit at 46.4%.
