RJ Harvey vs Trey Benson: Who Should You Start?

RJ Harvey and Trey Benson are both viable fantasy running backs heading into 2026, but their 2025 production tells two different stories. RJ Harvey averaged 10.8 PPG across 17 games with the Denver Broncos, while Trey Benson posted 7.2 PPG in 4 appearances for the Arizona Cardinals.

A 3.6-PPG gap gives RJ Harvey the edge on paper, but paper does not account for Thursday night matchups, weather games, or a star defender returning from injury. The real question is not who was better in 2025, but who is the better start this specific week.

RJ Harvey is the receiving back in this matchup, turning 47 targets into 356 yards, while Trey Benson profiles as a more traditional rusher with 160 rushing yards and undefined touchdowns. In PPR and half-PPR formats RJ Harvey carries the higher weekly floor. In standard leagues the gap tightens considerably.

One scheduling note: RJ Harvey is off Week 14 and Trey Benson Week 11. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in running back for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.

The Bottom Line

RJ Harvey outscored Trey Benson by 3.6 PPG in 2025 (10.8 to 7.2). That production gap is the baseline, but weekly context shifts the answer. DraftCall analyzes matchup difficulty, scoring trends, and health data to deliver a clear start or sit recommendation backed by real reasoning.
