Should You Start or Sit Marvin Harrison Jr. in Week 13?
Marvin Harrison Jr. has finished just two weeks as a top-45 receiver since September, limitations that have to have his managers scrambling at this point. Are better days ahead?
Maybe, but it’s hard to look at the profile and be overly optimistic. He’s been held to single-digit expected points in three straight and hasn’t reached a dozen points in the expected category since Week 3.
There is an upside case to make for a high-pedigree receiver who has seen at least three deep targets in three of his past four games; against an aggressive Vikings defense, he could always victimize single coverage at the right time. I’m not comfortable betting on it as anything more than a Flex play this week against the third-best per-possession defense in the NFL.

PFN Insight on the Vikings' Defense
After three strong performances against middling offenses, it was a surprise to see the Vikings have trouble at times with the Chicago Bears. By no means was it a bad performance overall, but league-average in any given week is a below-average performance for this unit.
Plenty of criticism was levied at Brian Flores in 2023, with the Vikings struggling on defense (finishing 23rd) and only showing slight improvement from the year before (27th). However, in his second year running this defense, Flores has turned them into a force that is carrying Minnesota to the postseason.
The turnaround on the ground has been incredible. The Vikings have gone from being a below-average group to being one of the best run defenses in our database. The pass defense has also seen a slight improvement, driven in large part by improvements in pressuring quarterbacks. Accordingly, nearly all their other metrics have seen slight improvements as well.
