Marvin Harrison Jr. is a fantasy football sleeper and undervalued draft pick for 2025. Read the fantasy football outlook and draft advice for the Arizona Cardinals wide receiver.
RotoBaller Ranking (half-PPR): WR19
Fantasy Draft Analysis: Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. was one of the biggest fantasy busts last season. Despite being a rookie, fantasy managers had high hopes for the former Ohio State star in Year 1. Harrison was being drafted in the second round of most leagues. Unfortunately, he finished well below his preseason ADP.
The 22-year-old finished as the WR30 in PPR formats and only averaged 11.6 PPR fantasy points per game. More importantly, Harrison was a very inconsistent fantasy option throughout his rookie season. He finished outside the top 40 at the wide receiver position in nine of 17 games, while only finishing as a WR1 twice in 2024.

Nevertheless, let's pump the brakes on calling Harrison a bust after one season. It usually takes time for some players to adjust to the NFL level, and that could certainly be playing out for him. As a result, there's a good chance this is the year the Cardinals' wideout shows why he was a highly touted prospect coming out of college.
He is still the WR1 in Arizona's offense and should command upward of 130 targets in Year 2. Given that he added muscle in the offseason and ranked top-10 among all wideouts in air yards share (42.3%), unrealized air yards (829), and win rate versus man coverage (42.8%) as a rookie, a breakout season is there for the taking. So, fantasy managers should be all in on Harrison in 2025.
