Jordyn Tyson vs RJ Harvey

“Jordyn Tyson is my WR1 of the 2026 rookie class, one spot ahead of Carnell Tate in my overall dynasty ranks. He was incredibly efficient during his time in college, with a career 31.2% target rate and 2.71 YPRR.”

“Jordyn Tyson is my selection to be the rookie to far surpass his ADP in 2026. Going into the draft, it was widely accepted that Tyson had the highest ceiling among the receivers.”

“Tyson has enormous upside, especially inside a Kellen Moore offense. We are banking on a quick start for the rookie.”

“Jordyn Tyson is a favorite draft target in the seventh round based on ADP.”

“They invested a first-round pick in Jordyn Tyson, a third-round pick in Oscar Delp, and fourth and sixth-round picks, respectively, in Bryce Lance and Barion Brown, providing the running back, wide receiver, and tight end rooms with an infusion of talent.”

“Jordyn Tyson's dynasty stock sits in the premium tier of the 2026 class after New Orleans took him eighth overall, a landing spot that largely reinforced his pre-draft top-five rookie appeal. The market sees an immediate path to meaningful targets opposite Chris Olave in Kellen Moore's offense, with enough versatility to move around the formation and eventually grow into a 1A/1B role.”

“Some believe Jordyn Tyson would have been the first wide receiver drafted if not for his injury history. Yet, he landed in an excellent spot for his fantasy value. Yes, Chris Olave is still the Saints' No. 1 wide receiver. However, that could change starting next season, as Olave is heading into the final year of his contract. More importantly, Tyler Shough played really well last season and looks like a franchise quarterback. Tyson could be a fantasy star sooner than later with Kellen Moore on the sidelines.”

“Tyson is checking all the boxes as a wide receiver that I have interest in in fantasy football drafts. He is extremely talented (my WR2 in this draft class), the depth chart is a mess behind him, and he has a hyperfragile incumbent ahead of him. I love Jordyn Tyson in redraft leagues, as you are likely to get him in the WR30s or early WR40s.”

“Jordyn Tyson puts defensive backs in absolute hell. His frenetic routes, his aggressive route breaks, everything he does puts defensive backs into a blender. He isn't a complete receiver and has room to grow, which is the scary part.”

“With New Orleans capable of supporting multiple fantasy-relevant wideouts, Tyson has a clear path to operate as a No. 2 if not 1B alongside Chris Olave.”

“I view Jordyn Tyson and my 1.03 selection as interchangeable, and have made sure to acquire shares of both in my dynasty leagues. I certainly don't want to be underweight on Tyson, who I believe is the most physically talented of any wide receiver in the draft class. Playing in a dome under Kellen Moore in a pass-heavy offense should mean wheels up in fantasy.”

“Tyson will provide quarterback Tyler Shough with a large catch radius downfield. The Arizona State product immediately inherits the No. 2 WR role opposite Chris Olave and should see moderate volume under new head coach Kellen Moore.”

“Harvey is recovering from a torn labrum suffered in the playoff loss to the Patriots, but before then, he was the less impressive running back in the backfield. His best skill is as a pass catcher, and he could slide into a J.D. McKissic/Theo Riddick role as a pass-catching specialist, but the idea that he could take over the backfield is complete bunk.”

“Before he was forced to the sidelines with an injury, Dobbins averaged 16 touches and 81 yards per game, as well as five yards per attempt, subverting what many thought would be an RJ Harvey takeover year.”

“While RJ Harvey was the RB20 last season, averaging 12.2 PPR fantasy points per game, fantasy players couldn’t trust him for most of the season. He averaged five rushing attempts, 7.5 total touches and 10 fantasy points per game with J.K. Dobbins healthy.”

“Sticking with the running back position, I’m just not sure RJ Harvey is a back I’d be willing to trust. Last season, Harvey played 17 games and ran 146 times for 540 yards (3.7 yards per carry) and seven touchdowns. He also caught 47 passes for 356 yards and five touchdowns on 58 targets.”

“Most of his production came in the back half of the season when J.K. Dobbins was out with a knee injury. Through Week 10, Dobbins was healthy and dominated the backfield touches. Meanwhile, Harvey struggled to see the field and topped a 30% snap share just twice.”

“Normally, when a rookie running back scores double-digit touchdowns, catches nearly 50 passes, and totals almost 900 yards, he'd be soaring up draft boards. But that's not what happened with RJ Harvey, who's currently RB27 in PlayerProfiler's dynasty rankings.”

“RJ Harvey has seen a steady decline in dynasty value since the NFL Draft, where the Broncos selected Jonah Coleman in the fourth round. With J.K. Dobbins back and Coleman having one of the better production profiles in this class, it's tough to see a path where Harvey sees a ton of volume. This feels like a three-man committee by midseason, assuming all three stay healthy.”

“RJ Harvey now has to compete with the returning J.K. Dobbins and rookie Jonah Coleman in a running-back-by-committee approach, with Broncos beat reporters continuing to suggest that Dobbins is the lead back.”

“Harvey outperformed his average draft position (ADP), finishing as the RB19. Though he was largely eased into the first seven games of the season, by Week 8 his production started to take off, and he finished with double-digit touches in each of his last seven starts.”

“Harvey is a decent overall running back, but not a great runner (ranking 41st in juke rate and 65th in true yards per touch), instead getting his yardage through the air (ranking sixth in yards per route run and seventeenth in yards per reception).”

“Harvey is a dynamic receiver and big-play threat in space, but he averaged only 3.7 yards per carry and ranked near the bottom in yards after contact per attempt. When Dobbins was healthy, Harvey was clearly the change-of-pace back.”

“RJ Harvey is a major overpay on Sleeper. Drafters are grabbing him around pick 48 as a high-end RB2 with huge PPR upside, but his 83 ECR is much closer to reality. That 35-pick gap reflects a market that is buying upside over certainty.”
