Marvin Harrison Jr. Will Play the X Role for Cardinals
Arizona Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur said that wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. will play the Davante Adams role as the X receiver in 2026, with Michael Wilson "closer to the core" in the Puka Nacua role as the Z receiver, according to Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic. It also sounds as though Kendrick Bourne will see more work in the slot than he has in the past. Harrison, the fourth overall pick in 2024 out of Ohio State, has caught 103 of his 189 targets for 1,493 yards and 12 touchdowns in his first two years in the league, but as the No. 1 wideout taken in his draft class, he has yet to live up to his sky-high expectations. The son of former Colts receiver Marvin Harrison played in only 12 games in 2025 and missed the regular-season finale with a foot injury. He's reportedly fully healthy going into Year 3 and will come at a discount in redraft leagues after his injury-plagued 2025 campaign. With Wilson and tight end Trey McBride ascending, and in an offense that will focus much more on the run this year, Harrison has fallen to No. 34 in RotoBaller's single-season WR rankings for the upcoming 2026 season.
