Cardinals' Marvin Harrison Jr.: Contrarian DFS Play
Rotowire
I know, the definition of insanity is playing Marvin Harrison week after week and expecting different results. Except sometimes you have to get a little crazy to win a GPP. Harrison has had some of his biggest games against bad defenses so as a contrarian play only I am running him back out there.

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 Jr.: Contrarian DFS Play
Rotowire
I don't really want to start Harrison as anything more than a boom/bust flex in the Fantasy playoffs. But a boom/bust flex is exactly what I am looking for in my DFS contrarian plays. Harrison has had some very good days against some very bad defenses and I believe the Patriots qualify.

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.

Cardinals' Marvin Harrison Jr.: WRs to Start
Rotowire
The last time we saw Harrison in Week 10 against the Jets he scored 16.4 PPR points, and that's the second time in his past three games where he reached that total. I hope the Cardinals used the bye week to figure out more ways to get Harrison the ball, and he scored 23.1 PPR points in his last road outing in Week 8 at Miami. And hopefully the trend for No. 1 receivers continues against Seattle since seven opposing top receivers in a row have scored at least 16.5 PPR points, including four scoring at least 20.7 PPR points during that stretch.

Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Returns to end zone Sunday
Rotowire
Harrison brought in all five of his targets for 54 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-6 win over the Jets.
Harrison rebounded from a down game in Week 9 by collecting all of his targets while cashing in his sixth touchdown of the season against the Jets. The rookie phenom has produced a 33-499-6 receiving line through 10 games as the Cardinals enter a bye week. Harrison has endured some ups and downs from a fantasy perspective, but he can still be relied upon and has a plus matchup against the Seahawks on Nov. 24.

Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Just two catches in Week 9
Rotowire
Harrison hauled in two of five targets for 34 yards and lost a fumble during Sunday's 29-9 victory versus the Bears.
Harrison's second-quarter fumble was costly as it set the Bears up on the Cardinals' side of the field and eventually resulted in a made field goal. However, Arizona was able to grind out the game on the ground (34 carries) and scale back the passing attack (20 attempts). While Harrison has two 100-yard performances and has scored five touchdowns through nine games, he's also failed to surpass 50 yards on six occasions to date. He may be leaned on more next Sunday against the Jets.

Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Wakes up from slumber in Week 8
Rotowire
Harrison hauled in six of seven targets for 111 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-27 win over Miami.
Fantasy managers who drafted Harrison likely included him in lineup for Sunday's matchup despite his recent results, so the big outing was a strong signal for the rookie, who turned in his second 100-yard receiving effort of the season. Harrison is now up to a 26-411-5 receiving line through eight contests, with most of that production coming in two games.

Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Held in check on MNF
Rotowire
Harrison had three receptions (on six targets) for 21 yards in Monday's 17-15 win over the Chargers.
Harrison's up-and-down rookie campaign continued with another lackluster fantasy score. The 2024 first-round selection still boasts a solid 20-300-4 receiving line through four weeks, but most of that production came across a three-game span Weeks 2-4. Harrison has the pedigree and potential to be worth a start in most fantasy formats, despite his recent returns signaling the contrary. Keep faith heading into a Week 8 matchup against the Dolphins on Sunday.

Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Upgrades to full practice
Rotowire
Harrison (concussion) was a full practice participant Friday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Harrison has progressed rapidly since exiting last week's loss to the Packers in the first half. He managed a limited practice Thursday in a non-contact jersey, followed by a full session Friday in a normal jersey. Harrison still needs clearance from an independent neurologist in order to play in Monday's home game against the Chargers.

Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Done for day due to concussion
Rotowire
Harrison was evaluated for a head injury in Sunday's Week 6 game against Green Bay, and he's since been ruled out from returning.
Harrison took a hard hit on an incomplete pass thrown his way in the second quarter and staggered back to the ground following the play. He was subsequently evaluated for a concussion before being ruled out in the third quarter. Harrison didn't catch either of his two targets in the contest, and Michael Wilson will move into the No. 1 receiver role for the Cardinals with the rookie done for the day.
Harrison went to the locker room during Sunday's game at Green Bay to be evaluated for a head injury.
Harrison was shaken up after an incompletion in the middle of the second quarter and walked off the field with team trainers. If he's eventually diagnosed with a concussion, he'll end Week 6 with no catches on two targets.

Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Catches early TD in Week 4 loss
Rotowire
Harrison caught five of six targets for 45 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 42-14 loss to the Commanders.
Harrison scored a two-yard touchdown on the opening drive and seemed poised for a huge performance against a Commanders defense that had struggled to cover wide receivers, so his final numbers are a bit disappointing given that context. Nonetheless, the standout rookie stretched his touchdown streak to three games (four TDs) and finished with the team lead in receiving yards for an Arizona offense that was without tight end Trey McBride (concussion). Up next for Harrison and the Cardinals is a Week 5 road game in San Francisco.

Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Dealing with quad issue
Rotowire
Harrison practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday due to a quadricep injury, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.
After a slow start to his NFL career, Harrison has taken off the last two games, accruing nine catches (on 19 targets) for 194 yards and three touchdowns. With his inclusion on the Cardinals' first practice report of Week 4 prep, the team may merely be managing his reps to ensure he's good to go Sunday against the Commanders. Ultimately, though, how Harrison is listed following practices Thursday and Friday could be telling for his availability for the weekend.

Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Another first-quarter TD
Rotowire
Harrison secured five of 11 targets for 64 yards and a touchdown in the Cardinals' 20-13 loss to the Lions on Sunday.
Harrison logged a team-high number of targets while tying with Michael Wilson for most receiving yards as well, but the highlight of the former's day came early. Harrison logged his third career TD on a 10-yard grab in the first quarter to answer an early Lions touchdown, yet he and Kyler Murray frequently had trouble connecting after that point. The rookie fourth-overall pick has bounced back nicely from his forgettable one-catch, four-yard pro debut against the Bills, but Harrison will look to increase his efficiency against a vulnerable Commanders secondary in a Week 4 home clash.

Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Struggles in NFL debut
Rotowire
Harrison caught one of three targets for four yards in Sunday's 34-28 loss to the Bills.
Harrison's much-anticipated NFL debut ended up being a dud, as slot receiver Greg Dortch led a run-heavy Arizona offense with 47 receiving yards. The rookie fourth overall pick out of Ohio State got wide open behind the defense on Arizona's final drive, but quarterback Kyler Murray didn't see him and the Cardinals ended up turning the ball over on downs in Bills territory with a chance to win the game. Harrison will look to bounce back from this disappointing NFL debut in Week 2 against a Rams defense with less talent in the secondary than Buffalo.
