Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said Wednesday that Harrison (appendix) is ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Jaguars, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.
Harrison will miss a second consecutive week while recovering from surgery undergone to address appendicitis. His absence will again leave Michael Wilson, Greg Dortch, Xavier Weaver and Andre Baccellia available as the top wide receivers for quarterback Jacoby Brissett, though tight end Trey McBride remains positioned as the team's No. 1 target in the receiving game. Harrison's next chance to play will come Sunday, Nov. 30 versus the Buccaneers in Week 13.

Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Out for Week 11 due to appendicitis
Rotowire
Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon said Wednesday that Harrison will miss Sunday's game against the 49ers after undergoing surgery to address appendicitis, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.
Gannon also indicated that Harrison could potentially remain sidelined longer than just Week 11, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. With Harrison sidelined and Zay Jones (Achilles) having recently been placed on IR due to a season-ending injury, Michael Wilson, Greg Dortch and Xavier Weaver (ankle) are the remaining available options at wide receiver on Arizona's active roster. Expect the team to elevate at least one ofAndre Baccellia, Jalen Brooks and Tejhaun Palmer from the practice squad for Sunday's matchup against San Francisco.

Cardinals' Marvin Harrison Jr.: Contrarian DFS Play
Rotowire
Harrison is being targeted like a true number one wide receiver since Jacoby Brissett took over as QB. Last week's efficiency was awful but that happens against Seattle. This week he faces a 49ers defense that has given up 39.7 PPR Fantasy points per game to wide receivers in their last three games.

Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Inefficient with TD scored
Rotowire
Harrison had three receptions on 12 targets for 33 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 44-22 loss to Seattle.
Harrison matched his previous career mark of 12 targets set in Week 13 last season (5-60-1), but he was less efficient this time around with just three receptions to show. The Ohio State product still cashed in his fourth touchdown reception on the year, bumping his season receiving line up to 34-525-4 through nine starts. Look for QB Jacoby Brissett to continue feeding the rock to Harrison in a favorable matchup against the 49ers next Sunday.

Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Career-high seven receptions on MNF
Rotowire
Harrison finished with seven receptions (on 10 targets) for 96 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 27-17 win over the Cowboys.
Harrison entered Monday's primetime tilt facing a team boasting two proven superstar receivers, only to casually finish as the game's leading receiver and top fantasy producer. The seven receptions also represented a new career high for the 22-year-old. Harrison's big night upped his season line to 31-492-3 through eight starts, giving managers hope for a strong second half to his sophomore campaign. Even in games in which Harrison doesn't go off, he is providing enough of a floor to earn a spot in fantasy lineups against the Seahawks on Sunday.

Cardinals' Marvin Harrison Jr.: WRs to Start
Rotowire
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.
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: 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.
