Tyler Badie

Harvey did not run particularly well nor did he see a commanding share of the backfield snaps and opportunities with both Jaleel McLaughlin and Tyler Badie involved, but he did salvage his fantasy outing with two short touchdowns late in the game. His first score came from one yard out in the third quarter with the team down by a point, adding a five-yard scamper for a touchdown in overtime. Harvey will remain a touchdown-dependent fantasy asset when the Broncos face the Raiders in Week 14.

He "added" a minus-5 yard catch on his only target. McLaughlin and Tyler Badie split 16 snaps evenly as foils to RJ Harvey, and McLaughlin lived up to the idea by stealing two red zone touches from Harvey and the game's only touchdown. McLaughlin isn't a must-hold through Denver's Week 12 bye, but he's certainly got a fantasy pulse again following JK Dobbins' injury.

The foot injury occurred on an illegal hip-drop tackle in the team's Thursday Night Football game against the Raiders in Week 10. The injury reportedly requires surgery, likely ending Dobbins' season. Dobbins ranked fifth in the league in rushing prior to the injury while playing on a one-year, prove-it deal in Denver. The team is reportedly interested in bringing the veteran back on a renewed contract this offseason, although the injury could cloud the situation. Rookie RJ Harvey is in line to see an expanded role for the remainder of the season, although Jaleel McLaughlin remains on hand to soak up change of pace snaps on early downs and Tyler Badie should remain involved in passing situations.

Placed on IR Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins will be placed on injured reserve with a foot injury that requires surgery and likely end his season, per ESPN sources. Dobbins sustained the injury on a hip-drop tackle during the Broncos Thursday night win against the Raiders. Set to become a free agent after the year, Dobbins was fifth in the league in rushing and is expected to make a full recovery. (Adam Schefter on X) FF Today's Take: Dobbins was having a solid season as an RB2 even while splitting running back work three ways in the Denver offense. The Broncos running back room will now feature RJ Harvey, Jaleel McLaughlin, and Tyler Badie. Badie has been typically used in third down and two-minute situations. We'll see how much McLaughlin cuts into Harvey this week when the Broncos take on the Chiefs.

Rapoport ambiguously states that Dobbins "is believed to be out for the foreseeable future" as he works through his options regarding his injured foot. Dobbins was injured while being hip-drop tackled by a Raiders defender in Week 10. Broncos rookie RB RJ Harvey steps into lead back duties with Dobbins sidelined, while receiving specialist RB Tyler Badie chips in behind him. Fellow backup RB Jaleel McLaughlin will likely be active on game day.
