Marvin Harrison Jr. Week 8 Outlook - Cardinals at Dolphins

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 24th 2024, 1:05pm EDT

Harrison is the WR43 in fantasy points per game, which isn't the way that we all thought his rookie season would play out. In half of his full games played, he has finished as a WR3 or higher (WR1, WR20, WR26). Overall, he has had a 21.4% target share, a 38.8% air-yard share, 1.73 YPRR, and a 25.7% first-read share. He is ninth in deep targets among wide receivers and has also drawn four red zone looks. Miami has utilized single-high on 55.6% of their defensive snaps. Harrison Jr. has been much better against single high this season. Against single high, his target share has increased to 27% while his air-yard share has risen to 41.1%, with his YPRR jumping to 2.75 and his first-read share checking in at 29.9%. The big issue for Harrison Jr. this week is that while the coverage matchup is in his favor, the Dolphin's pass defense has been quite good. Miami has allowed the 11th-lowest PPR points per target and the fifth-fewest receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers. Murray hasn't been a great passer this season, so the tough matchup could hurt his ceiling this week.
