News: 2 days agoHarrison brought in three of five targets for 40 yards in the Cardinals' 36-30 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

Spin: Harrison was a distant third in receiving yards and tied for the same slotting in targets for the Cardinals on the afternoon. Despite the modest stat line across the board, Harrison's Sunday was certainly an improvement on his Week 2, when he was blanked and saw only one target. While his season-high reception, receiving yardage and target totals offer some solace, they fall short of satisfying frustrated fantasy managers who banked on a comeback campaign from the 2024 first-round pick. Harrison still appears to clearly be behind Michael Wilson and Trey McBride in the Cardinals' pass-catching hierarchy heading into a Week 4 road matchup against the Giants next Sunday.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Harrison's pro career is off to a slow start after he was selected with the No. 4 overall pick back in 2024. The Ohio State product was serviceable as a rookie (885 yards and eight TDs), but he missed five full games and was limited in others en route to a 41-608-4 receiving line in 2025. Harrison has finished 41st and 39th, respectively, in fantasy PPG despite a massive role near the goal line (he's third in the NFL in end zone targets since he was drafted and finished both seasons in the top five). Harrison is only entering his prime at age 24 and perhaps he'll make a Year 3 leap with new coach Mike LaFleur calling the plays and with Kyler Murray no longer under center. Harrison performed better with Jacoby Brissett under center last season and has the raw talent to make him well worth post-hype consideration in the middle rounds.
