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.

Jeremiyah Love Sees Workload Decrease in Sunday's Loss
Arizona Cardinals rookie running back Jeremiyah Love saw his workload decrease significantly in their loss to the New York Giants on Sunday afternoon. The former Notre Dame standout entered Week 4 riding a breakout performance in Week 3, but saw his fantasy value take a massive step back on Sunday afternoon. Last weekend, Love ran the ball a season-high 21 times for 90 yards, caught five passes for 19 yards and a touchdown. However, this weekend, Love took just 14 carries for 63 yards, while No. 2 back Tyler Allgeier logged eight carries and punched in a touchdown. While this result is a major disappointment for fantasy managers, Love should still be expected to remain the lead back in this offense, even if his workload is limited at times. He still projects to hold high-end RB2 upside in a Week 5 tilt against the Detroit Lions.

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.

Arizona Cardinals D/ST A Streaming Option Against Giants
The Arizona Cardinals D/ST unit fell on hard times after its surprising showing in Week 1. Against the Chargers in the season opener, Arizona held their opponent to 14 points, registered three sacks, and collected two turnovers for a top-10 finish that week. The Cardinals gave up at least 31 points in their subsequent matchups against the Seahawks and 49ers, and had just one more sack and two turnovers in those two games. A Week 4 matchup against the New York Giants could prove lucrative. Giants quarterback Jameis Winston is known for being turnover-prone and has already taken five sacks on 55 dropbacks, and the team is averaging just 15.3 points per game. Arizona's D/ST makes for a solid streamer in Week 4 and is projected for a top-12 finish.

Chad Ryland A Serviceable Streamer In Week 4
Arizona Cardinals kicker Chad Ryland was perfect in Week 3, nailing all three of his extra point attempts and going 3-for-3 on field goals as well. His field goals came from 26, 41, and 49 yards out. It was Ryland's second game (along with Week 1) with three or more field goals and at least two extra points. So far in 2026, Ryland is perfect on extra points and 7-for-8 on field goal tries. In Week 4, the Cardinals will face the New York Giants, who have seen the fewest fantasy points allowed to opposing kickers so far in 2026. The Giants have seen only two field goal attempts against them, and both resulted in misses. Ryland is a safe bet to get one through the uprights against New York. He is projected as a top-10 option in Week 4.

Trey McBride A Must-Start In Week 4
Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride had nine receptions for 75 yards on 11 targets in Week 3. Arizona's passing attack is built around getting McBride the ball. The tight end has a 32.5% first-read target share, and his 5.9 aDOT is suited to Jacoby Brissett's tendency to favor quick, short passes. McBride has hit double digits in targets and at least eight receptions in each game of 2026. Through the first three games of 2026, he is one reception and three targets from being tied for the lead in the NFL in both categories. In Week 4, the Cardinals travel to New York to face the Giants. McBride can safely be expected to have another productive day and should be in starting lineups everywhere on Sunday.

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.

Tyler Allgeier Losing Out On Opportunities
Arizona Cardinals running back Tyler Allgeier spent the first two weeks of 2026 on the strong side of a 60-40 snap share with rookie Jeremiyah Love. In Week 3, Love took over as the team's lead back, and Allgeier saw 31 snaps to Love's 55. Allgeier finished last week's game with just two carries for -1 yard, and had four catches for 10 receiving yards. After Arizona selected Love with the third pick of the NFL draft, Allgeier was fated for another timeshare after escaping one in Atlanta. As with the Falcons, Allgeier now appears to be the second-stringer, sinking his fantasy value. Allgeier was still involved on goal-line snaps and in two-minute drills, but it is hard to see him providing consistent fantasy returns. He is projected as an RB4 for Arizona's Week 4 meeting with the New York Giants. Fantasy managers may want to hold him as a handcuff but should find another option to start this weekend.

Jeremiyah Love Looking To Build On Big Week 3
Arizona Cardinals running back Jeremiyah Love handled 21 carries for 90 rushing yards and caught all five of his targets for 19 yards and a touchdown in Week 3. After spending Weeks 1 and 2 on the short side of a 60-40 split in snaps with Tyler Allgeier, Love was the unquestioned featured back last week, soaking up nearly two-thirds of the snaps in the backfield and out-touching Allgeier 26-6. Looking ahead to Sunday, Love will face a New York Giants defense that is allowing 4.7 yards per carry and 2.6 rushing yards before contact. Last week, Tony Pollard found 74 yards on 17 attempts against the Giants, and in Week 2, Kyren Williams and Blake Corum combined for 24 carries and 164 rushing yards. Now in the driver's seat of the Cardinals' backfield, Love is projected as an RB1 with a favorable matchup in Week 4 and can be trusted in starting lineups.

Jacoby Brissett A Superflex Candidate In Pass-Happy Offense
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett completed 38 of his 52 pass attempts in Week 3, finishing with 280 passing yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions. Brissett added a rushing touchdown on a goal-line sneak in the 36-30 loss to the 49ers. Brissett is averaging 39 passes per game and 27.3 completions, good for second-most in the league, and has a 70.1% completion rate through three weeks. Brissett has found success by getting rid of the ball quickly and hitting receivers on short routes, which has given him the third-lowest aDOT and time to throw among starting quarterbacks. In Week 4, Arizona faces the New York Giants, who have been susceptible to such passes, offering opponents the third-highest completion rate and fourth-highest EPA per dropback on short routes. Arizona's high passing volume makes Brissett a dark horse streamer and a qualified starter in two-QB setups for Week 4.

James Conner Progressing Without Return Timeline
Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (foot) is progressing, but the team still isn't putting a date on his return. Head coach Mike LaFleur said Conner is doing well and reiterated that Arizona wants him back when he can perform at his normal level, not simply when he's able to get through a practice. Conner opened the season on injured reserve while continuing his recovery from the right foot injury that ended his 2025 season in Week 3. He can become eligible to practice next week after serving the required four-game absence, though the Cardinals have not said they will immediately open his 21-day window. That matters with Jeremiyah Love emerging as Arizona's lead back and Tyler Allgeier still involved. Conner is coming off back-to-back 1,000-yard rushing seasons in 2023 and 2024, but fantasy managers should treat him as a deeper-league IR stash until there is a clearer return date and role.

Jeremiyah Love Avoids Injury Report After Scare in Practice on Thursday
Arizona Cardinals running back Jeremiyah Love was not listed on his team's Thursday injury report after reportedly being slow to get up after a rep in practice. While it's not entirely clear what happened to Love, it's obviously a positive sign for fantasy managers that the rookie appears to have avoided a serious injury. Across the first three games of his NFL career, the 21-year-old has recorded 204 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns on 51 touches. After splitting work with veteran Cardinals back Tyler Allgeier in the first two weeks of the season, Love emerged as the clear lead back in Week 3 by logging 109 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on 26 touches against the San Francisco 49ers. Assuming he's healthy and ready to go, Love profiles as an RB1 option for fantasy managers in Week 4 against the New York Giants.

Jeremiyah Love Looks to Keep his Momentum
After playing more of a modest role in his first two NFL games, Arizona Cardinals rookie first-round running back Jeremiyah Love introduced himself as a lead running back in a 36-30 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 3. Love started the game and played 55 out of 86 total offensive snaps (64%). He earned 21 carries for 90 yards (4.3 yards per carry) on the ground, while making his presence felt through the air with five receptions for 19 yards and a receiving touchdown. According to Pro Football Focus, 48 of Love's 90 yards came after contact. The No. 3 overall pick of the 2026 NFL Draft was clearly above veteran Tyler Allgeier in the pecking order in Week 3, which was not the case during the first two weeks. Arizona drafted Love early to be its workhorse back, and he now seems to be taking that role over. In total, through three games, Love has carried the ball 41 times for 160 yards (3.9 yards per carry) and a touchdown, while adding 10 receptions for 44 yards and an additional score. He has a Week 4 matchup against a New York Giants defense that is allowing 104.3 rushing yards per game. Love enters the week as RotoBaller's No. 8 running back.
