Harvey got off to a slow start in his rookie campaign, with J.K. Dobbins taking the bulk of the reps. Through the first 10 games, Harvey took five or fewer carries seven times. Following Dobbins’ season-ending injury, the rookie took on a bigger role and created some big plays, but was mostly inconsistent, averaging 3.4 yards per attempt in the final seven games and 3.0 YPC in two postseason tilts.
Denver’s re-signing of Dobbins and drafting of Jonah Coleman in the fourth round highlighted the Broncos’ desire to continue with a committee approach. Harvey could play a greater role as a pass catcher in a Joker-type position in Sean Payton’s offense. Watching film on dual threats like CMC, Gibbs and Super Bowl MVP Walker could help the second-year pro carve out a bigger role if he can translate that film into production.
