2026 Outlook

Harvey had a strong rookie year (12 TDs, excellent receiving upside) but remains in a crowded Broncos backfield for 2026. The team has committed heavily to J.K. Dobbins, drafted Jonah Coleman in Day 3, and will keep Adam Prentice as fullback. Harvey won't go anywhere as a 2nd-round pick, but his snap share and role will be defined by the three-back platoon Sean Payton is building (per Broncos named prime trade candidate for a player who makes no sense anymore).

Harvey's efficiency as a down-to-down runner is a key evaluation point heading into training camp. If he fails to improve efficiency between the tackles, third-round rookie Jonah Coleman—a stronger interior runner with elite pass-blocking—could see elevated carries despite being lower on the depth chart (per 4 Broncos who could become Denver's biggest surprises in 2026).

Role / Depth Chart

RB2 for Denver Broncos, competing for carries behind J.K. Dobbins.
