Devin Neal vs RJ Harvey: Who Should You Start?

If you are choosing between Devin Neal and RJ Harvey for your lineup, you are not alone. Devin Neal finished the 2025 season at 5.2 PPG for the New Orleans Saints (10 games), and RJ Harvey averaged 10.8 for the Denver Broncos (17 games).

That 5.6-point weekly advantage for RJ Harvey is meaningful but not automatic. Fantasy football is a week-to-week sport, and the answer to "who should I start" often changes based on opponent, recent form, and game environment. Season averages set the baseline; weekly context makes the call.

RJ Harvey is the receiving back in this matchup, turning 47 targets into 356 yards, while Devin Neal profiles as a more traditional rusher with 206 rushing yards and 2 touchdowns. In PPR and half-PPR formats RJ Harvey carries the higher weekly floor. In standard leagues the gap tightens considerably.

Devin Neal has his bye in Week 12, and RJ Harvey rests in Week 14. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at running back for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
