BALLER MOVE: Start in 12-Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3
ANALYSIS: Arizona Cardinals rookie wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. had a disappointing NFL debut, but he remains a high-end WR3 play heading into Week 2 against the Los Angeles Rams.
Harrison looked slow in Week 1, almost historically, as the speed of the NFL game seemed to overwhelm him. Still, he was on the field for 90% of Arizona's offensive plays, and his talent should win out in the long term.
There have been 1,730 games played by individual wide receivers with at least 25 offensive snaps since the start of 2023.
If we look at the top speed for each of those player games, Harrison Jr.'s 16.7 ranks 1,699th on that list.

That wishfulness doesn't change the fact that fantasy managers were left disappointed by the lack of production from Harrison last weekend. He was targeted three times, catching one of those passes for four yards.
Fantasy managers spent a lot of draft capital on Harrison, but if his production doesn't sharply increase in Week 2, it might be time to start considering benching him. As of now, it's too early to make that choice.
