Harrison struggled in two games with Jacoby Brissett, but I still like Harrison in Week 9 against Dallas even though Brissett will start again in place of Kyler Murray (foot). In those two games with Brissett, Harrison combined for just four catches for 90 yards and no touchdowns on eight targets against Indianapolis and Green Bay prior to Arizona's bye in Week 8, but he also left the Colts game early with a concussion. This week, Harrison should have the chance for a big game against the Cowboys. Dallas is No. 1 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers, and the Cowboys lead the NFL with 15 touchdowns allowed to receivers. Eight receivers have scored at least 15.2 PPR points against Dallas, and this should be one of Harrison's best Fantasy games of the season in Week 9.

Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Set to play Sunday
Rotowire
Harrison (concussion) practiced in full Friday and doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the Packers, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Harrison came out of a Week 6 loss in Indianapolis with a concussion that limited him at Wednesday's walkthrough and Thursday's practice, but his ability to handle every practice rep Friday followed by avoiding a Week 7 designation indicates he's been cleared by an independent neurologist. QB Kyler Murray (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest after being listed as limited all week, but Jacoby Brissett took all the visible reps with the first-team offense, suggesting the latter is more likely than the former to be tossing passes Harrison's way this weekend.

Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Still in concussion protocol
Rotowire
Harrison (concussion) remains in concussion protocol Friday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
The Cardinals listed Harrison as a limited participant Wednesday and Thursday, following his early exit from the Week 6 loss at Indianapolis. A full practice Friday would have fantasy managers feeling better, although Harrison still will need final clearance from a neurologist even if everything goes well on the practice field.

Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Limited again Thursday
Rotowire
Harrison (concussion) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday.
Harrison emerged from this past Sunday's defeat at Indianapolis with a concussion, and he so far has managed back-to-back capped sessions to begin Week 7 prep. He even was spotted hauling in passes from QB Jacoby Brissett while donning a yellow non-contact jersey Thursday, per Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic. An independent neurologist will need to clear Harrison in order for the second-year pro to suit up Sunday against the Packers, but he at least appears to be making progress through the protocol for head injuries.

Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Limited at walkthrough
Rotowire
Harrison (concussion) was limited at Wednesday's walkthrough, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Harrison was diagnosed with a concussion during this past Sunday's loss at Indianapolis, and while Jonathan Gannon told Dani Sureck of the team's official site on Wednesday that the second-year wide receiver remains in the protocol for head injuries, his limited listing indicates he at least has made some progress through it. In order to play Sunday against the Packers, though, Harrison will need to gain clearance from an independent neurologist. Arizona's receiving corps is particularly banged up at the moment, as Michael Wilson (foot, limited) and Zay Jones (knee, DNP) also are tending to injuries.

Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Remains in concussion protocol
Rotowire
Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon said Wednesday that Harrison is still in the NFL's concussion protocol, Dani Sureck of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Harrison was forced out of Arizona's loss to Indianapolis in Week 6 due to a concussion, so it's no surprise that he's continuing to progress in his recovery. The second-year pro will need to attain full clearance before being eligible to return to game action, making his status for Sunday's matchup against the Packers uncertain. If Harrison misses any further time, Zay Jones will figure to again step into a starting role alongside Michael Wilson. Jones played a season-high 79 percent of offensive snaps versus Indianapolis due to Harrison's exit, and he paced the Cardinals in receiving yards while securing five of eight targets for 79 yards.
Harrison is undergoing a concussion check during Sunday's contest in Indianapolis.
As Harrison hauled in a 21-yard catch in the middle of the second quarter, his helmet appeared to hit the turf hard, which necessitated the second-year wide receiver visiting the sideline tent and then the locker room. If he's eventually diagnosed with a concussion, he'll finish Week 6 with two receptions (on two targets) for 32 yards.

Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Building positive performances
Rotowire
Harrison recorded four receptions on five targets for 98 yards in Sunday's 22-21 loss to the Titans.
Harrison got off to a remarkable start to the game, leaping over a pair of defenders for what initially appeared to be a 44-yard touchdown on Arizona's opening drive. He was ruled down at the one after review, though it was still his second catch of at least 40 yards this season. Harrison then recorded gains of 20 and 16 yards on Arizona's next drive, before largely disappearing from the game plan as the Cardinals got very conservative on offense. While the performance was nearly much bigger from a fantasy perspective, Harrison is starting to stack together positive showings after delivering 66 yards and a touchdown in Week 4.

Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Leading receiver on six targets
Rotowire
Harrison brought in three of six targets for 44 yards in Sunday's 16-15 loss to the 49ers.
Harrison wound up leading Arizona with 44 receiving yards in a game during which the team generated just 159 yards of offense through the air. The sophomore receiver suffered an uncharacteristic drop on a wide-open deep shot from Kyler Murray that could have resulted in a lengthy touchdown. Harrison continues to flash potential, only to disappear at times like he did against Carolina last week (2-27-0). The high-pedigree receiver should be treated as a boom-or-bust play against the Seahawks on Thursday.

Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Finds end zone against Saints
Rotowire
Harrison caught five of six targets for a team-high 71 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-13 win over New Orleans.
The second-year wideout hauled in Kyler Murray's longest completion of the day with a 45-yard gain in the second quarter, and Harrison capped that drive with a one-yard TD reception. While he didn't see typical WR1 volume, Harrison's chemistry with Murray bodes very well for the prospects of a 2025 breakout for the fourth overall pick in the 2024 Draft. Harrison will look to build on this performance in Week 2 at home against the Panthers.

Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Better rapport with Murray
Rotowire
Harrison and Kyler Murray are operating with a greater rapport ahead of the 2025 season, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.
After hooking up with Murray for a 15-yard catch in the preseason opener versus Kansas City, Harrison and the rest of the Cardinals' No. 1 offense sat out this past Saturday's game against Denver. Murray and Harrison connected on a number of passes against a tough Broncos secondary in a joint practice, however. Harrison is looking to build upon a 62-885-8 line on 116 targets over 17 regular-season games as a rookie, and the fourth overall pick in the 2024 Draft seems poised to break out based on early returns in training camp and the exhibition schedule.

Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Bulks up over offseason
Rotowire
Harrison reported to training camp Wednesday at 220 pounds, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official website reports.
Harrison entered the NFL at 209 pounds but spent the offseason bulking up and focusing on his diet. The No. 4 overall pick of the 2024 Draft, Harrison had a fine rookie season, posting a 62-885-8 receiving line on 116 targets, but his efficiency clearly was lacking some. He caught just 54.4 percent of his targets, ranking 102nd out of 112 qualifying wide receivers in catch percentage. His average depth of target of 14.2 yards was 14th-highest, which helps explain some of that lack of efficiency. The Cardinals hope to do a better job of getting Harrison easier catches at all levels of the field in 2025.

Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Cardinals anticipating Year 2 leap
Rotowire
Arizona's coaching staff expects Harrison to take a substantial step forward in 2025 after his uneven rookie season, Doug Haller of The Athletic reports.
Harrison has reportedly bulked up noticeably this offseason, a development that will hopefully help the No. 4 overall pick of the 2024 Draft improve in contested-catch situations in Year 2. Despite suiting up for all 17 regular-season games as a rookie and acting as the Cardinals' top wide receiver, Harrison managed just a 62-885-8 line on 116 targets, finishing as a distant second in pass-catching production compared to TE Trey McBride. QB Kyler Murray said at mandatory minicamp that he's observed improved confidence from Harrison, who will turn 23 in August. That Arizona didn't notably add to the pass-catching corps in either free agency or the 2025 Draft can only be interpreted as a vote of confidence that Harrison will indeed follow through on a notable leap this year, a development that will require him to translate his added strength and size into an ability to more consistently beat opposing cornerbacks downfield, and to do so without noticeably sacrificing speed. He'll have every opportunity to emerge as a true top wideout in 2025, at least, as Michael Wilson, Greg Dortch and Zay Jones don't represent genuine competition to the target shares of either Harrison or McBride.

Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Struggles with eight targets
Rotowire
Harrison had four receptions on eight targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 36-30 overtime loss to Carolina.
Harrison finished with three more targets than any teammate Sunday, but he failed to lead Arizona in any other receiving category in the overtime loss. The rookie prodigy has been a boom-or-bust asset in his first year as a pro, with more busts than booms in recent weeks. Harrison has finished above 50 receiving yards in just three of his last eight appearances, with all three of his touchdowns over that span coming in the games during which he eclipsed 50 yards. That rate of inconsistency makes Harrison a risky fantasy play in standard formats against the Rams in Week 17.

Cardinals' Marvin Harrison Jr.: Contrarian DFS Play

Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Quiet day with two receptions
Rotowire
Harrison had two receptions on six targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 30-17 win over the Patriots.
It was an inefficient day at the office for Harrison, who recorded just 32 receiving yards on a 33 percent catch rate. A one-sided game script in favor of Arizona also hurt the wideout's fantasy potential Sunday, as this contest was never close despite the 13-point difference once the game clock hit zero. Harrison owns a 47-687-7 receiving line through 14 starts as a rookie, with his next chance to play coming in a road tilt against Carolina next Sunday.

Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Held to four catches in Week 14
Rotowire
Harrison caught four of eight targets for 49 yards in Sunday's 30-18 loss to the Seahawks.
Harrison has reached 50 receiving yards only five times in his up-and-down rookie season. His eight targets against Seattle ranked second behind Trey McBride's 14, and Harrison's 20 targets over the last two games are the most he has seen in a two-game span. While there's reason for long-term optimism with the fourth overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, including Harrison's team-leading total of seven receiving touchdowns, he can't be viewed as a surefire fantasy starter in most formats when the Cardinals host the Patriots in Week 15.

Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Finds end zone in Sunday's loss
Rotowire
Harrison caught five of 12 targets for 60 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-22 loss to the Vikings.
While the rookie wideout was far from efficient, Harrison was on the other end of Kyler Murray's only TD of the day, a 15-yard strike in the third quarter that gave the Cardinals a 19-6 lead. It was Harrison's seventh score in 12 games, which leads all rookie WRs and is fourth in the NFL behind Ja'Marr Chase, Amon-Ra St. Brown and Terry McLaurin. Harrison will look to get back in the end zone in Week 14 against the Seahawks, in a game that could have significant playoff implications in the NFC West.

Cardinals' Marvin Harrison Jr.: WRs to Sit
Rotowire
It's tough to sit Harrison given his potential, but he's not getting enough targets to produce at a high level. Harrison has been at six targets or less in each of his past three games, and he scored 7.7 PPR points or less in two of those outings. Kyler Murray will likely struggle against Minnesota's defense, making it hard to love Harrison in this matchup, especially if he doesn't find the end zone. He's still worth starting in all three-receiver leagues, but this could be another letdown spot for Harrison on the road.

Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Musters three catches in Week 12
Rotowire
Harrison hauled in three of six targets for 47 yards and no touchdowns during Sunday's 16-6 defeat in Seattle.
Cardinals pass catchers took a back seat to TE Trey McBride (12-133-0 on 15 targets) in the passing game Week 12, as Harrison's target count ranked second on the team, while his yards from scrimmage were fourth (WR Michael Wilson had 54, and RB James Conner notched 49). Prior to Arizona's Week 11 bye, Harrison was able to salvage lacking performances with touchdowns (six in 10 appearances), but the offense was held out of the end zone this weekend. Harrison's next opportunity to produce is next Sunday at Minnesota.
