Broncos Lose Marvin Mims for Week 2, RJ Harvey a Game-Time Call
Mims is officially out against the Jaguars while rookie RB RJ Harvey lands on the questionable list — Denver's skill-position picture just got murkier.
Questionable tag makes him a risky start until active status confirms.
- Marvin Mims ruled OUT for Week 2 vs Jacksonville
- RJ Harvey listed questionable on Friday's report
- Harvey: 207 PPR pts in 2025 (17 games)
- Harvey up +3.3 fantasy pts vs avg over last 5
- Jaguars enter fully healthy for Denver trip
Denver's Friday practice report handed fantasy managers two headaches ahead of Week 2. Wide receiver Marvin Mims has been ruled out entirely, and rookie running back RJ Harvey — our RB20 and No. 59 overall — is officially questionable for Sunday's home matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars. That's a game-time decision on a back who posted 207 PPR points across 17 games last season (2025).
The timing stings because the Jaguars are rolling into Denver at full strength. Everyone on Jacksonville's report is trending toward active, setting up what should feel like a playoff atmosphere in mid-September. Denver, meanwhile, is trying to sort out its rotation with one starter gone and another uncertain.
What Mims' Absence Means
Mims being out isn't a fantasy earthquake on its own, but it thins Denver's receiving corps and could nudge more targets toward the backfield and remaining pass-catchers. If you were streaming Mims in deeper leagues, you're pivoting elsewhere this week — full stop.
The Harvey Question
Harvey is the name that matters most for lineup decisions. His 2025 line was genuinely useful: 540 rushing yards and 7 rushing touchdowns on the ground, plus 47 catches for 356 yards and 5 more scores through the air. That receiving profile is exactly what keeps him startable in PPR formats, and he's been heating up — averaging 3.3 fantasy points above his season mark over his last five games.
The problem is the questionable tag. A back who catches passes is only valuable if he's on the field, and 'uncertain to play' means you can't pencil him in without a contingency. Denver hasn't clarified whether this is a maintenance issue or something more limiting, so treat Sunday morning as decision time.
Bottom line: keep Harvey in your active pool but line up a viable backup and monitor pregame status right up to inactives. If he's cleared, his dual-threat usage makes him a confident flex, given that recent form trend. If you see him downgraded or the reports go quiet, bench him and don't sweat it. Mims, for now, is a straight sit.
