Denver Broncos backfield overview
If Jonah Coleman misses time
RJ Harvey is listed RB2 on the Denver Broncos depth chart behind Jonah Coleman. Deterministic pick; the model overview was unavailable.
Tyler Badie: Out (espn_rosters)
Denver's passing-down back, cleared for Week 3 after missing Week 2 with a hamstring. Jonah Coleman's high-ankle IR placement on Sept. 26 removes the rookie who had been eating into this role, so Harvey is again the uncontested handcuff behind the chronically injured Dobbins. The most valuable stash in this backfield.

Should I add RJ Harvey as a handcuff?
Consider RJ Harvey if you have a spare bench spot and want exposure to the replacement role behind Jonah Coleman.
