Should You Start or Sit Marvin Harrison Jr. in Week 16?
Harrison has 28 catches for 349 yards and three touchdowns in quarters 2-4 this season. If you extend those 42 quarters for a full season — 46 catches for 565 yards and five touchdowns. That’s essentially the stat line Chris Godwin posted in seven games before his season ended (50-576-5).
How crazy is that?
This summer, we assumed that this would be a marriage between quantity of targets, quality of opportunity, and elite pedigree. Heck, through September we believed that to be the case, but it hasn’t come close to panning out.
Harrison has one game this season with more than five receptions and is not one of the 186 players (entering Week 16) with a catch gaining more than 25 yards since Week 3.
- Josh Whyle
- Simi Fehoko
- Miles Sanders
Those are just some of the names on that list. Obviously, nothing about this matchup should scare you (CAR: highest TD pass rate allowed), but everything about how Arizona is using its supposed generational talent should.
I have Harrison sitting as nothing more than an ordinary WR3, preferring Jakobi Meyers (vs. JAX) to him.
