Jonathan Taylor vs RJ Harvey: Who Should You Start?
The numbers tell a clear story here. Jonathan Taylor put up 20.0 fantasy points per game for the Indianapolis Colts in 2025, while RJ Harvey managed 10.8 across 17 games with the Denver Broncos. A 9.2-point weekly edge is substantial at the running back position.
That 9.2-point weekly advantage for Jonathan Taylor 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.
Both are three-down backs with real passing-game roles. Jonathan Taylor caught 46 balls for 378 yards, and RJ Harvey hauled in 47 for 356. That receiving workload gives them high PPR floors even in games where the ground attack gets stuffed, and it is why both stay on the field in obvious passing situations.
Both share a Week 14 bye, which matters for roster construction. If you are stacking running backs this deep on your bench, plan your replacement running back early.
