Denver’s backfield was shaken up as Audric Estime was waived, opening a door for RJ Harvey, J.K. Dobbins, and a pack of challengers—Jaleel McLaughlin, Tyler Badie and Blake Watson—to battle for touches. The move reinforces a committee approach in a crowded room, with preseason pecking orders likely to shape Week 1 expectations. Fantasy players should monitor Harvey’s burst, Dobbins’ workload, and the depth players for late-round upside.

Estime’s departure narrows the path for a fifth-round Notre Dame pick, while the Broncos add a veteran in Dobbins who could anchor early-down duties if healthy. Harvey and McLaughlin offer speed and change-of-pace capabilities, Badie and Watson provide depth and return-game potential, and the whole group signals a multi-headed Denver attack that could sap single-back fantasy ceilings in 2025.
