Dynasty fantasy football players to watch: Divisional Round
RB RJ Harvey, Denver Broncos
In Week 4 of this season, RJ Harvey posted the first top-12 fantasy finish of his career in a blowout win against the Bengals. Harvey scored 19.8 PPR fantasy points, recording 98 total yards and a touchdown. He only reached that number again in week 13. Harvey’s chances were slim until teammate JK Dobbins suffered a foot injury, ending his season.
After Dobbins’ injury, Harvey was the RB15 starting in Week 11. He has been extremely efficient with his touches, posting a production premium of +11.7, fifth among all qualified running backs. This is why he has been able to put up excellent fantasy production despite seeing about 65% of the snaps in the Broncos backfield.
With everything on the line this week against the Buffalo Bills, the Broncos will have a hard time keeping Harvey on a committee. The Bills have the worst defense of the remaining playoff teams. The Broncos need to focus on using Harvey in the running game to keep Josh Allen off the field. Harvey is the Broncos’ best chance for success. When he goes wild against the Bills, his dynasty value will begin an upward climb that will culminate once Harvey becomes the bellcow of the Broncos.
WR Pat Bryant, Denver Broncos
The Broncos surprised many when they selected Pat Bryant in the third round of the 2025 NFL draft. Bryant started the season with minimal playing time and opportunities. He played over 60% of Denver’s offensive snaps for the first time in Week 6; It wasn’t until Week 11 that Bryant’s use in the passing game took off.
Since Week 11, Bryant has averaged six goals and four receptions per game in the games he has played. If the Broncos offense is forced into a tough script against the Bills, Bryant will be a beneficiary of this environment. His dynasty value could rise with such usage, making him a preferred target for deals this offseason.
RB Woody Marks, Houston Texans
Woody Marks started the season behind veteran Nick Chubb on the Texans’ depth chart. It wasn’t until Week 4 that Marks surpassed Chubb, outscoring him by 27.9 fantasy points. After that, the Texans couldn’t put the cat in the bag anymore. Marks was a mainstay in the Texans’ backfield, averaging 16 chances per game starting in Week 5.
Despite these opportunities, Mark averaged just 9.4 fantasy points per game, finishing the season as RB29. His lackluster fantasy production was due in large part to the Texans’ offensive line, which produced a Run Block Rating of 15.1 for Marks this season, 59th among all running backs. Marks was otherwise efficient on the season, ranking 27th among all running backs with 43 tackles evaded. He was 25th among all running backs with 670 Yards Created. He saw 20 opportunities in the Texans’ Wild Card win against the Steelers last week, totaling 112 yards and a touchdown.
This week, Marks faces a stingy Patriots defense that is among the league’s best against the run. However, the Patriots have allowed the third-most receptions to running backs this season. With Nico Collins likely out due to a concussion, the Texans will look for production wherever they can find it. If Marks can continue to produce fantasy points, his dynasty value could reach an all-time high by the time the offseason begins. With Joe Mixon’s health in question, Marks is the only running back on the Texans’ active roster with guaranteed money due to him in 2026. This could be the time to buy hoping the Texans let Marks go in the playoffs and don’t contribute to the running back position this offseason.
