Marvin Harrison Jr.

The Arizona Cardinals hope they’ve landed an alpha wide receiver with their selection of Ohio State’s Marvin Harrison Jr. with the fourth overall pick of the first round.

The son of former Colts great Marvin Harrison is even bigger than his Hall of Fame dad. Harrison Sr. was 6-0 and played at around 180 pounds. Harrison Jr. is an imposing 6-3, 209-pound physical specimen. The younger Harrison may not be in his dad’s class as a route-runner, but Junior is good and improving in that area. FantasyPros NFL Draft and college football analyst Thor Nystrom writes that Harrison Jr. is “precise and calculated into the route break, and utterly violent out of them, exposing back to top speed quickly.”

Where Harrison Jr. shines brightest is at the catch point. He has a big catch radius, impressive leaping ability and extraordinary body control. Harrison Jr. is a faithful user of a modified JUGS machine, and it shows — he has great hands.

Despite seeing frequent double-teams and getting less-than-stellar quarterbacking in his final college season, Harrison Jr. had 67 catches for 1,211 yards and 14 touchdowns in 12 games. That came on the heels of a 1,263-yard, 14-TD season as a sophomore.

It’s hard to find weaknesses in Harrison’s game, but he hasn’t been a particularly affective tackle-breaker after the catch.

Harrison immediately becomes the No. 1 wide receiver in Arizona. Trey McBride is a high-quality tight end, but the Cardinals’ other receivers — Michael Wilson, Greg Dortch, Chris Moore and others — don’t provide a lot of target competition. It’s easy to see a path to 130-140 targets for Harrison as a rookie. He’ll also get to work with a solid quarterback in Kyler Murray.

Harrison has a FantasyPros Expert Consensus Ranking of WR18. He’s being drafted aggressively in Underdog best-ball drafts, with an ADP of WR11. I’m bullish on Harrison as a redraft value and have him ranked WR9. First-round wide receivers tend to be good fantasy values, as we’ve recently seen with players such as Justin Jefferson (rookie ADP: WR49) and Ja’Marr Chase (rookie ADP: WR27). The market is higher on Harrison Jr. than it was on Jefferson and Chase, and deservedly so. I think Harrison Jr. has the same sort of fantasy ceiling as those established stars.

In dynasty, Harrison is the consensus WR1. I concur and would take him first overall in 1QB dynasty rookie drafts and second overall in superflex rookie drafts, behind only QB Caleb Williams. Harrison Jr. profiles as a foundational cornerstone for a dynasty franchise.
