Team Trading for Marvin Harrison Jr. Wants to Stay Anonymous for Now
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. is on the move, but we still don't know where he's going. ESPN.com's Adam Schefter reported that a Harrison trade is being finalized, but he didn't report which team acquired the former No. 4 overall pick. He also noted that Harrison will be inactive Sunday, and the trade likely won't be officially announced by the teams until Monday at the earliest. For now, the team trading for Harrison wishes to stay anonymous, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz. Specifically, he wrote that the teams involved would "prefer the trade destination is NOT announced" yet. Since a deal won't be finalized for another 48 hours or so, it makes sense that the team wants to stay under the radar. This could help to ensure that rival teams don't have time to put together a better trade package, and it also gives them the flexibility to back out of the deal later this weekend, if needed. With that being said, it seems like a foregone conclusion that Harrison has played his final snap with the Cardinals. Fantasy managers will certainly be waiting patiently to find out Harrison's next destination.

Kendrick Bourne Immediately Stepping Into a Fantasy-Relevant Role
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Kendrick Bourne should have immediate fantasy relevance as a WR3/flex now that the team is finalizing a trade of Marvin Harrison Jr. The biggest factor holding back Bourne this year was his position as the No. 3 receiver on the depth chart, but now that Harrison is being dealt, the veteran receiver will jump to second on the depth chart (and third in the pecking order behind Michael Wilson and Trey McBride). The Cardinals aren't flashy by any means, but they absolutely throw the ball enough to support two fantasy-relevant wide receivers. Even after catching zero passes last week, Bourne should be an early favorite to bounce back as a WR3/flex now that Harrison is gone. He's especially intriguing in fantasy football for Week 5, given that his opponent, the Lions, have surrendered the most fantasy points to wide receivers in 2026.

Cardinals Trading Away Marvin Harrison Jr.
The Arizona Cardinals are finalizing a trade centered around wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com. The trade destination was not initially reported, and the deal is not yet official. However, Schefter reports that the Cardinals have already informed Harrison of the trade, telling him that he will be inactive on Sunday as they wait for the transaction to become official. This marks the end of a disappointing two-plus years in Arizona for Harrison. The former No. 4 pick peaked as the WR30 in fantasy leagues his rookie season, and he has taken a step backward ever since. His draft capital shows that there's still plenty of upside here, as Harrison has the potential to be a high-end WR2 even if he hasn't looked like one lately. He's also an affordable offensive weapon for his new team, carrying a very modest $776,000 salary this year and a $1.19 million base salary next year.

Cardinals Reportedly Want Second-Round Draft Pick for Marvin Harrison Jr.
The Arizona Cardinals are reportedly seeking a second-round draft pick and possibly an additional mid-round pick to consider trading wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. to another team, according to Tom Pelissero of The Ringer. Harrison, whom the Cardinals selected with the fourth overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, is following up an underwhelming 2025 campaign with limited production in 2026. So far this season, Harrison has caught just five passes for 85 yards (17.0 yards per catch) and one touchdown. It is a high asking price for a wide receiver who has struggled, but Harrison's talent could remain appealing for interested teams. Pelissero also added that Harrison recently hired representation for the first time in his NFL career, which might mean he is expecting the possibility of a trade in the future.

Marvin Harrison Jr. Due For Flex Consideration In Soft Matchup
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. caught his first touchdown pass of the season in last week's loss to the New York Giants. The 12-yard grab was also his sole reception on the day, giving him five catches for 85 yards and a touchdown through the first four games of 2026. Once the subject of discussions regarding who was the top wide receiver on Arizona's depth chart, Harrison has fallen far behind Michael Wilson, who has accumulated 30 targets over the last two weeks. Harrison, meanwhile, has 13 all season. For fantasy teams sticking with Harrison, Week 5 is as good of a matchup as one could hope for in the Detroit Lions. The Lions' defense has been porous, giving up 31.8 points and 327 passing yards per game. Harrison projects as a WR3 in a forgiving matchup and can be plugged into starting lineups for Week 5.

Michael Wilson In A Smash Spot Against Detroit
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson is in a good spot to continue building on his recent success. Wilson scored his first touchdown of the year in Week 3, and in his last two games has averaged 15 targets, nine receptions, and 92 receiving yards. In Week 5, the Cardinals host the Detroit Lions, whose defense has been consistently ineffective through the first four games of 2026. The Lions have allowed opposing wide receivers the most receptions and third-most receiving yards this season, and gave up a 14-192-2 line to Tetairoa McMillan in Week 4. Wilson can't be expected to match that level of success, but his increased role in the passing attack provides optimism for a big day. Based on his recent performances and a soft matchup, Wilson has a WR1 ceiling in Week 5 and should be in starting lineups this weekend.

Marvin Harrison Jr. Still a "Big Part" of Offensive Plans
Arizona Cardinals general manager Monti Ossenfort said that struggling wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. "is a big part of what we're doing. With respect to all the stuff that is written out there, we're excited to move forward and really not paying any credence to any of that," according to Tyler Drake of Arizona Sports. There has been trade chatter surrounding Harrison early in his third NFL season after he has struggled to get anything going in 2026. The 24-year-old former fourth overall pick only has five catches through four games for 85 yards and one touchdown. Harrison has not gone over 8.2 fantasy points so far, although he did have a season-high 11.4 target share in the Week 4 loss to the New York Giants. The Cardinals continue to say that Harrison is a key part of their offense, but what we have seen so far this year does not back up their stance. The former Ohio State star has hit rock bottom in terms of his fantasy value so far this year and will not be a recommended flex option in Week 5 at home against the Detroit Lions. At this point, it seems like a change of scenery might help more than anything.

Marvin Harrison Jr. Not Paying Attention to Trade Rumors
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. said that he has not been paying attention to trade rumors that have been swirling around him, according to ESPN's Josh Weinfuss and Stephen Holder. The speculation that Harrison could be moved by the Nov. 10 NFL trade deadline has been fueled by Harrison hiring Todd France and Tory Dandy as his agents on Sept. 23. The former fourth overall pick in 2024 did not have an agent before that. "Truthfully, I pay it no mind," Harrison said of the speculation. "I'm only focused on Detroit, helping the Cardinals win football games at the moment. So whatever rumors you're talking about, I don't pay it no mind." Other teams are doing their due diligence on the struggling wideout, but sources say that the Cardinals are not actively shopping Harrison. The Indianapolis Colts are a team considering trading for Harrison, the son of Marvin Harrison Sr., the Hall of Famer who has multiple Colts receiving records. Indy has struggled to produce explosive plays on offense since putting receiver Alec Pierce (heel) on Injured Reserve. Harrison has reached a low point early in his third NFL season and has only five receptions for 85 yards and one touchdown through four games. A change of scenery might be exactly what the young wideout needs to turn things around.

Michael Wilson A Priority Buy Low, Ascending Star Fantasy Receiver
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson started off the 2026 season slower than we expected, with just 14.4 PPR fantasy points across his first two games. He saw just seven targets in those two contests, so it wasn't really his fault that he didn't have impressive production. But in the last two games combined, he saw passes head his way a truly staggering 30 times. That's an obscene figure, and one that now has him as the 5th-most targeted player in the NFL so far. He had one fewer target than tight end Trey McBride, who's the Cardinals No. 1 pass-catcher, but there's plenty of room in this offense for both to shine bright in fantasy football. Wilson's elite target numbers last season appear to be carrying over, even with WR Marvin Harrison Jr. active and healthy. Harrison has hardly seen the ball, and it's apparent that Wilson, who's been much more talented on film thus far in his career, is the WR1 for Arizona. Wilson isn't priced as an elite WR1, but that's his ceiling, which makes him a priority buy-low in redraft leagues ahead of Week 5. He has league-winning upside, and should post some truly eye-watering fantasy finishes as long as he's healthy for 2026.

Marvin Harrison Jr. Has Played His Way Onto the Cut List
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. finally scored in Week 4, but it did little to change what has been a brutal start. He caught one of four targets for 12 yards against the Giants and now has only five receptions for 85 yards on 13 targets through four games. Harrison has one catch or fewer in three of those games and has yet to reach 50 receiving yards. Meanwhile, Trey McBride and Michael Wilson have become much bigger parts of Arizona's passing game, with 33 and 25 receptions, respectively. At this point, Harrison's name and draft pedigree are doing more work for his fantasy value than his actual role. RotoBaller lists him among the receivers to consider cutting for Week 5, ranks him WR41 this week, and has him 142nd overall in its rest-of-season rankings. Managers in standard leagues can move on if there is a clearly better option available. He is easier to hold in deeper formats where the waiver wire offers less.

Teams Calling About Marvin Harrison Jr.
NFL teams are calling about the availability of Arizona Cardinals struggling wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. ahead of the Nov. 10 trade deadline, ESPN's Adam Schefter said on The Pat McAfee Show on Monday. Schefter mentioned the Indianapolis Colts and New York Giants as two teams that are potentially interested in acquiring Harrison from the Cardinals. Harrison's father, Marvin Sr., played all 13 of his NFL seasons with the Colts before being inducted into the Hall of Fame. The 24-year-old former fourth overall pick from Ohio State in 2024 has not at all lived up to the hype that came attached to his name coming out of college, catching 103 passes for 1,493 yards and 12 touchdowns on 189 targets through his first two seasons in the desert. Through four games this year, Harrison has caught only five of 13 targets for 85 yards and one touchdown for the Cardinals. He found the end zone for the first time in 2026 in Sunday's loss to the Giants, but he caught just one of his four targets for 12 yards. A change of scenery might be the only thing to bring his fantasy football value up from rock bottom at this point early on in his third season in the NFL.

Marvin Harrison Jr. Scores Touchdown On Lone Catch In Week 4 Loss
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. caught one of his four targets for 12 yards and a touchdown in his team's Week 4 loss to the New York Giants. He was once again a ghostly presence -- or lack of a presence -- on a struggling team that fell to 1-3 on the season. His one catch was on an end zone fade route in which he made a nice over-the-shoulder grab, but it wasn't nearly enough for fantasy managers. 8.2 PPR fantasy points is hardly earth-shattering. Harrison is less of a part of the game script for his team as he was last year. The new coaching staff has repeatedly downplayed concerns about getting him the ball, and the results have been ugly. The matchup doesn't seem to matter, as it's been tight end Trey McBride and wide receiver Michael Wilson who have led the team's pass-catching room. Harrison is a drop candidate in many leagues, and there aren't many in which fantasy managers would benefit from sticking him in starting lineups moving forward unless something big changes with his usage. He remains a WR4 who shouldn't be started until he carves out a bigger slice of his team's target pie. A good chance for a bounce-back is coming in Week 5, though, as the Cardinals will face the Detroit Lions, who have one of the weakest pass defenses in the NFL.

Kendrick Bourne Remains on the Fantasy Radar in Deeper Leagues
Arizona Cardinals running back Kendrick Bourne has emerged as a safe and reliable target for quarterback Jacoby Brissett this season. As a result, he has earned increased snaps, and he's making a push to supplant Marvin Harrison Jr. as the No. 2 receiver on the depth chart. Bourne has played at least 55% of the snaps in all three games this season, but now he needs to start fetching more targets. The 31-year-old caught a whopping eight passes in Week 1, but he has just two catches on three targets in each of the last two weeks. It's not ideal that Bourne is behind Michael Wilson, Trey McBride, and possibly Harrison in the pecking order, but his role might actually be impacted even more by the presence of Jeremiyah Love. This Cardinals team threw the ball out of necessity last year, but the emergence of Love has allowed them to incorporate the rushing attack more often. With that being said, Brissett threw the ball 52 times last week, so we're still encouraged that Bourne can be a matchup-based WR3/flex play. This week, he's going up against a Giants defense that has allowed the 11th-most receiving yards and fifth-most touchdowns to wide receivers in 2026.

Marvin Harrison Jr. Hard To Trust Given Team Trends
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. had his most productive game of the young season in Week 3. Given his minimal usage to start 2026, all it took was three catches for 40 yards on five targets. Harrison's use as a deep target is antithetical to quarterback Jacoby Brissett's tendency to throw quick, short passes, which does not bode well for the receiver's ongoing fantasy value. There is some hope for a turnaround against the Giants in Week 4, though. In Week 2, Davante Adams beat New York for eight catches, 195 yards, and two touchdowns, with an aDOT of 19.8 yards. If Brissett can be bothered to let Harrison's routes develop, the former phenom would be in for a big day. Given Brissett's focus on Michael Wilson and Trey McBride, it seems like a long shot, however. Harrison is projected as a WR5 and a risky bet better suited for deep leagues.

Michael Wilson Is Arizona's Top WR Entering Week 4
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson cemented his role as the team's WR1 with his performance in Week 3. In Arizona's 36-30 loss to the 49ers, Wilson came away with 11 receptions for 89 yards and a touchdown on 17 targets. Through three weeks, Wilson now has a 24.8% team target share and a whopping 42.6% air yard share. Wilson also ranks sixth among wide receivers in first-read rate (35.1%). Wilson's use in Arizona's pass-happy offense should translate into more productive games in the weeks ahead, especially in PPR settings. In Week 4, the Cardinals will face the New York Giants, who allowed Wan'Dale Robinson seven catches for 57 yards and a touchdown last week, good for WR17 overall. Wilson is projected as a WR2/3 for this week. His potential volume raises his ceiling and makes him worth a start.
