The Arizona Cardinals will host the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 12. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding WR Marvin Harrison Jr..
Is Marvin Harrison Jr. Playing in Week 12?
Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said Wednesday that Harrison Jr. (appendix) is ruled out for Sunday’s contest against the Jaguars, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.
We’ll continue to monitor the Cardinals’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Harrison in Week 12?
Harrison Jr. posted a target share north of 27% with a touchdown in Weeks 9 and 10, but he underwent surgery on his appendix in the middle of last week and thus was inactive over the weekend.
His status is up in the air for this week, but the trends we saw from him with Jacoby Brissett under center were strong enough to consider him a viable option (low-end WR2, high-end flex). Bonafide WR1s have torched the Jaguars, and I don’t think it’s crazy to think that Harrison Jr. benefits from that weakness.
- Week 2: Ja’Marr Chase scores 36.5 PPR points
- Week 3: Nico Collins scores 22.4 PPR points
- Week 6: Jaxon Smith-Njigba scores 30.2 PPR points
- Week 10: Nico Collins scores 22.6 PPR points
No, he’s not in the same zip code as those stars, but there is a sizable gap between him and Arizona’s WR2, so I think there is some value to extract from a trend like that.
Keep tabs on this situation. Ideally, we get him back sooner than later, but it is worth noting that his greatest impact could come when you need it most (Week 17 at Bengals).
