Should You Start or Sit Marvin Harrison Jr. in Week 10?
Marvin Harrison Jr. might prove to be worthy of all the hype we bestowed upon him in April, but for the moment, he’s not producing like a locked-in fantasy option.
Shoot, he’s been on the fringe of roster-worthy since September. From Weeks 5-9, Harrison has one top-50 finish. One. On the long list of receivers with more such finishes over that stretch are Noah Brown, Sterling Shepard, and Van Jefferson. I’m not saying that you’re cutting Harrison. I’m not even saying that, in all spots, you’re benching him, but you need to be considering looking past your priors.
The Jets are a top-five pass defense in terms of touchdown rate and passer rating, making this a tough spot for a struggling player. I have three rookie receivers ranked ahead of Harrison this week as he slides in as a fringe top-30 receiver, sitting behind Khalil Shakir’s elevated weekly floor.

PFN Insights on the New York Jets’ Defense
Following Robert Saleh’s firing, the New York Jets put together a poor stretch of defensive performances despite not facing a gauntlet of opposing offenses. That had seen them slide from near the top of these rankings to outside of the top five.
However, they bounced back with superb performances against an injury-hit Houston Texans offense. The Jets ranked second in Week 9, which was their best performance since Week 3.
The Jets have struggled in a couple of areas this year, with the run game and forcing turnovers needing to be their biggest focus for the remainder of the year.
The run game is the bigger short-term issue because their turnover percentage is more often a secondary result of getting the other areas right. Their run defense ranking in the bottom 10 will make it tough for them to control games in the second half of the season.

New York Jets at Arizona Cardinals Insights
New York Jets
Team: New York is allowing the second-fewest yards per pass after the completion this season (4.4, league average: 5.3).
QB: The Jets own the highest red zone pass rate in the league this season (59.3%, league average: 34.2%).
Offense: New York is making minor strides in converting third downs. In Weeks 4-5, they picked up just 26.5% of their third downs, a rate that rose to 31.8% in Weeks 6-7 and to 40.9% over the past two weeks.
Defense: A league-high 45.6% of yards gained against the Jets come on the ground (league average: 35.6%).
Fantasy: Garrett Wilson’s aDOT is 35.2% higher when Davante Adams is on the field than when he’s not – something that adds both upside (like what we saw on Thursday night against the Texans) and downside into his fantasy profile.
Betting: The Jets have failed to cover three straight road games (cumulative cover margin in those games: -38) and eight of their past 10.
Arizona Cardinals
Team: Arizona is 5-4 this season after winning just five of their previous 27 games.
QB: Three times over the past month, Kyler Murray failed to rush for 20 yards (prior to this stretch, 49.4 rush yards per game).
Offense: Arizona averages 4.78 runs per game of 10-plus yards, a figure that sits behind only Lamar Jackson’s Ravens through nine weeks.
Defense: The Cardinals have the second-worst third-down defense in the NFL (48.2%, only one-tenth of a point ahead of the Panthers).
Fantasy: James Conner continues to be a good story, but be careful – his fantasy points per touch is pacing to decline for a third straight season (every year of his Arizona career) and this is still ap layer who has missed multiple games in every season entering 2024.
Betting: The Cardinals are 2-5 ATS (28.6%) in their last seven games when their opponent enters on extended rest (the Jets beat the Texans last Thursday night).
