Week 7 was wild across the league, and tucked away in the Denver Broncos’ game against the Arizona Cardinals, RJ Harvey pulled off a play that you just have to talk about. The guy rushed three times for a measly six yards, but then he exploded for a team-best 54 receiving yards on two catches, snagging a massive 52-yard touchdown that got everyone’s attention.
The Play That Shook Up The Stat Sheet
Talk about making the most of your opportunities, right? Six yards on the ground? That’s barely a first down over three carries! But then Harvey turns around, catches a ball, and takes it to the house from 52 freakin’ yards out. That’s the kind of play that reminds you how quickly things can change in this league, how one moment of brilliance can overshadow a whole lot of quiet. He clearly showed he’s got the hands and the speed to be a game-breaker when the ball is thrown his way, making that huge reception a highlight from an otherwise quiet rushing day.
What This Means For a Crowded Backfield
So what does this monster receiving play mean for Harvey going forward? Well, he’s definitely proving himself as a strong option catching the ball out of the backfield. But let’s be real, the Broncos’ backfield is a total logjam right now with Jonah Coleman and J.K. Dobbins already battling for carries. This makes for a super muddled fantasy picture, putting Harvey squarely in that RB3 or flex option category for PPR leagues, with way less appeal in standard play. It’s a tough spot to make a consistent impact, but a 52-yard touchdown sure helps him stand out from the crowd, doesn’t it?
While one massive play won’t clear up that backfield logjam with Coleman and Dobbins, Harvey’s 52-yard touchdown screams one thing: he’s a serious threat catching the ball. That’s why he’s a strong flex option in PPR fantasy leagues, even if standard play doesn’t give him much love. You gotta respect a player who can flip the script on his stat line like that. The talent is there, even if the touches are muddled.
