The Denver Broncos led by back-up quarterback Jarrett Stidham could not move the ball effectively against The New England Patriots.
The Denver Broncos lost the AFC Conference Championship game 10-7 against the New England Patriots. Denver already had a tall task relying on back-up quarterback Jarrett Stidham after starter Bo Nix broke his ankle last week. The first drive for Denver featured a beautiful 52 yard deep ball to Marvin Mims, followed with a touchdown to Courtland Sutton. From there, Denver could not do anything on offense. The blizzard like conditions in the second half didn’t help either offense.
Stidham finished completing 17 of 31 pass attempts for 133 passing yards for one touchdown and one interception. RJ Harvey had 13 carries for 37 rushing yards and 4 receptions for 22 receiving yards. Mims finished as the most productive reciever with 4 receptions for 62 receiving yards.
This playoff stretch was rough for rookie running back RJ Harvey. He showed so much promise throughout the season, with seven games of RB12 or higher on the week. His athletic ability is too good to ignore, now would be a good time to buy the dip in dynasty.

Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins has been ruled out for the AFC Championship game.
The Broncos have ruled out RB J.K. Dobbins for their AFC Championship clash against the New England Patriots. Dobbins is still dealing with a foot injury that he suffered in week 10 against the Raiders. Denver did open Dobbins 21-day practice window on Monday, so there is still optimism that he could make his return for the Super Bowl.
In his absence, RJ Harvey will continue to lead the Denver backfield. Harvey only managed 6 carries for 20 yards in the divisional round against Buffalo, but he still found a way to contribute as a receiver, posting 5 receptions for 46 yards.

Denver gets a much-needed win over the Chiefs, 22-19, but rookie RJ Harvey left much to be desired
On Sunday, Denver won a hard-fought game at home against Kansas City, but the excitement of rookie RJ Harvey fell short. Broncos fans and fantasy managers alike were expecting big things from the rookie’s first start with J.K. Dobbins on the shelf. In hindsight, maybe expectations against a strong Chiefs defense were a bit premature.
Harvey had shown flashes in limited use this season, but without leading man Dobbins on the field, the opportunity to show off why he was coach Sean Payton’s second-round draft pick (No. 60 overall) was there for the rookie to take center stage. Unfortunately, the reigning AFC champions were lying in wait and the 24-year-old was overmatched from the jump.
Harvey collected just 30 yards rushing on 11 carries (2.7 YPC) with a long of seven yards. He displayed more efficiency in the passing game, as he caught all three targets for 20 yards (6.7), but what unable to get into the painted area, neither by land nor air. In his defense, 14 touches does not a superstar make, and his 11 carries bested the 10 combined the other three ball-carriers accounted for. Jaleel McLaughlin led the group with 3.2 YPC and was the only back to score a touchdown.
Fantasy Lowdown: It was a big disappointment for fans of the team and Harvey’s fantasy managers. Better days will be ahead for the rookie, as Dobbins is set to miss the balance of the season. Harvey has two forgiving matchups (at Washington and Las Vegas) after the team’s bye, though his fantasy playoff schedule will be brutal: Green Bay, Jacksonville, @Chiefs.

Denver Broncos running back JK Dobbins injured his foot from a hip drop tackle late in the win over the Raiders on Thursday Night Football.
JK Dobbins can’t catch a break on injuries. He has missed significant chunks of his career to various injuries. This opens the door for highly touted rookie RJ Harvey. Of course head coach Sean Payton has to allow that to happen.
JK Dobbins has been a reliable back in fantasy as a RB18 on the season. RJ Harvey’s explosiveness as a fill in back has him as RB22 on the season. Now that Harvey has an opportunity for a bigger role, we have a potential league winner on our hands. This may be your last opportunity buy Harvey before a massive breakout.

All of the Denver Broncos skill players underwhelmed in their Thursday Night Football matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders.
The Denver Broncos only scored one touchdown in their game Thursday night against the Las Vegas Raiders. In the second quarter Bo Nix connected with Troy Franklin for a seven yard touchdown.
Nix finished with 150 passing yards and two interceptions as well as the touchdown pass. Rookie wide receiver Pat Bryant led the team with 43 receiving yards on just one reception, JK Dobbins led the way on the ground with 77 rushing yards. Rookie running back RJ Harvey and wide receiver Courtland Sutton both had less than 25 scrimmage yards.
This was a disappointing performance for the Denver offense but Franklin seems to have established himself as their clear cut wide receiver two, Sutton and Dobbins remain quality fantasy assets and the rookies, Bryant and Harvey are still carving out their roles.

The Denver Broncos have multiple players with massive fantasy outputs on the porous Dallas Cowboys defense.
The Denver Broncos stampeded over the Dallas Cowboys in 44-24 win. Quarterback Bo Nix had 4 passing touchdowns, running back JK Dobbins had 111 rushing yards on 15 carries and rookie running back RJ Harvey exploded for 3 touchdowns, 2 on the ground and 1 through the air.
Bo Nix was QB8 on the season heading into week 8, the offense is starting to gel at the right time. JK Dobbins is on pace for his best season as a pro despite injury woes throughout his career thus far. Rookie running back RJ Harvey has been disappointing up until this week. Harvey’s play should warrant him more playing time. Both backs should be very complementary with Nix at the helm. Denver head coach Sean Payton has this offense rolling ahead. The Broncos offense is very viable in fantasy.
