BALLER MOVE: Start
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2
ANALYSIS: Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. had a slow start to the season, followed by a few huge games, then dipped back to minimal production before a Week 8 "breakout" game of sorts. He caught six of seven targets for 111 yards and one touchdown against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday.
It’s just so pretty. The ball placement from Kyler Murray, the snag + knee down from Marvin Harrison Jr and his route angle. An aesthetically pleasing play
Also, false pulls from guards are fun in play action

It appears that Cardinals offensive coordinator Drew Petzing adjusted his usage to best suit his skill set, and it's paying off. Rather than running endless deep vertical routes, Harrison ran more crossers and horizontal-breaking routes, allowing him easier separation and an ability to use his length more effectively.
Something I'm sure people have been monitoring is Marvin Harrison Jr's route distribution and what type of routes he was running. It feels like Sunday they got him working across the field more, and he made a couple of big plays off of it pic.twitter.com/cbYa7H0rcf

It's easy to see No. 18 continue to be productive if he's used in this manner. He was bullying Dolphins cornerback Jalen Ramsey for most of the game, and it showed in the stat sheet. Fantasy managers will hope these usage trends continue for MHJr. He should be a safe start from now on.
Chicago presents a tough matchup for this week, but the rookie has shown enough upside to be a set-and-forget player from now on, barring a streak of low-scoring games, which seems unlikely now.
