Since being selected fourth overall in the 2024 NFL Draft, Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. has struggled to live up to the hype he received as a prospect. The 23-year-old ran into a string of poor injury luck in 2025, suffering a concussion and missing time due to appendicitis before finally being placed on season-ending Injured Reserve with heel and foot issues. Still, Harrison Jr. was not particularly effective when on the field, recording 41 receptions for 608 yards and four touchdowns on 73 targets across 12 games. By the time he went out for the year, Harrison Jr. had fallen to the number three target in Arizona behind superstar tight end Trey McBride and breakout wide receiver Michael Wilson. The Cardinals overhauled their coaching staff over the offseason, which could help provide Harrison Jr. with a much-needed fresh start. However, the young wideout admitted during OTAs that he's still feeling the effects of last season's injuries. While Harrison Jr. also said he did not think the injury issues will linger into the regular season, the fact that he might not be fully healthy entering a critical training camp is a bit alarming. Harrison Jr. remains a high-upside wide receiver and could be a worthy buy-low target for fantasy managers, but he should be viewed as a boom/bust WR3/flex option in redraft formats heading into 2026.--Will Brady
