Marvin Harrison Jr.

Harrison Jr. has been incredibly frustrating to roster or consider for fantasy lineups this season. The data has lined up in plenty of weeks for him to be a smash play, but only for him to post a disappointing box score. Harrison Jr. is the WR40 in fantasy points per game who hasn't had more than 60 receiving yards in a game since Week 8. He's had six red-zone targets in the last six games, but he only has two scores to show for it. Since Week 9, he has had a 21.5% target share, a 48.8% air-yard share, and a 30.8% first-read share, but he's only managed 1.40 YPRR and 45 receiving yards per game with the volume. During the same period, among 93 qualifying wide receivers, he's ranked 70th in separation and 41st in route win rate. With the volume he has seen and the matchup this week, the upside for him to have a nice game is still there, but it's tough to believe that this will be the week that he pops off with a monster game. Since Week 11, Los Angeles has allowed the 11th-most receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers while also ranking 15th in fantasy points per game allowed to the position.

Marvin Harrison Jr. caught six of 10 targets for 96 yards in the Cardinals' 13-9 loss to the Rams on Saturday.

Fantasy Impact

Harrison had his best game of the season against the Rams back in Week 2 and followed it up with another good performance against them here in fantasy championship week. He's been a bit hot and cold this year, not what fantasy managers wanted when they drafted him around the 1-2 turn in fantasy drafts in the preseason, but in terms of NFL rookie years, it's not been a bad one. It could be better, but it's not been a bad one.
