Jordyn Tyson
vs RJ Harvey

“Until Jordyn Tyson returns from IR, Vele is the clear WR2 on an offense that loves to throw the ball. The Saints are going to run more offensive snaps than any team in football if Kellen Moore has anything to say on it. That means Devaughn Vele is going to see a bunch of targets.”

“Jordyn Tyson is on the injured reserve (IR) to start the season, which means the only New Orleans pass-catchers with any experience besides Johnson are Chris Olave and Devaughn Vele .”

“Jordyn Tyson will be sidelined for at least the next two months with a hamstring injury. The timeline is a cause for concern for fantasy managers, as it suggests the injury is more serious.”

“Jordyn Tyson lands with the New Orleans Saints and should be the immediate second target in an ascending passing game led by Tyler Shough . Over the last two collegiate seasons, Tyson has ranked 60th and 11th in yards per route run and 12th and 15th in receiving grade (per PFF). Hopefully, Tyson has kicked the injury bug that plagued him in college.”

“Even with the lack of elite talent in the 2026 class, it was widely expected that Carnell Tate , Makai Lemon , and Jordyn Tyson would round out the top three at their position heading into their final collegiate season.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Jonah Coleman (RB – DEN) | ADP: 131 Overall (RB49) RJ Harvey is being drafted as the RB32 while J.K. Dobbins is being selected one slot later at RB33.”

“In Weeks 1-10, Harvey was the RB29 in fantasy points per game, averaging 29.1% of the snaps played with 7.5 touches and 38.9 total yards per game. In Weeks 11-18, with Dobbins out, he was the RB13 in fantasy points per game with 16.8 touches and 72.5 total yards per game while averaging 60.7% of the snaps played.”

“RJ Harvey (DEN) — RB32, Overall RK89, Bye: 10 R.J. Harvey’s rookie season was a tale of two seasons centered around J.K. Dobbins being in the lineup and out of it.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“RJ Harvey finished as the RB21 during his rookie season and truly blossomed in the spotlight after J.K. Dobbins was injured. The Denver Post's Luca Evans reported that Harvey underwent surgery to repair a torn labrum sustained in the AFC Conference Championship loss to New England, and that he "didn't do much in OTAs but was practicing."”
