Harrison did all of his damage in the first half. The Cardinals pulled away after halftime and took the air out of the football resulting in one second-half target for the No. 4 overall pick. Marv last topped 60 yards in Week 8. The Cardinals use Harrison to clear out space for Trey McBride more than they scheme up looks Harrison himself, resulting in a rollercoaster experience for his fantasy backers. He gets a great matchup with a weak Carolina secondary next week, giving fantasy managers a reason to treat him as a WR3 for one more week.
McBride is on track to play this week but his continued limitations suggest he is dealing with something worth monitoring. Fantasy managers should expect to have their high-volume, elite TE1 available though. Were McBride to sit, Marvin Harrison Jr. would presumably see a sizable increase in targets.

Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. drew a season-high 12 targets in Sunday's loss to the Vikings. He matched TE Trey McBride for the team lead and drew a strong 26.7% of Kyler Murray's pass attempts for the game. Harrison wasn't especially efficient but did catch five balls for 60 yards and the team's lone TD.
