Who Should I Start? Calvin Austin III or Marvin Harrison Jr.

Saturday, November 1, 1:06 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Calvin Austin III will hope to bounce back from a quiet Week 8 in a Week 9 showdown with the 7-1 Indianapolis Colts. Fellow receiver Roman Wilson had a breakout showing last week, but it was Austin that logged the second-most snaps among Pittsburgh's wideouts behind DK Metcalf. While the Colts have been difficult to defeat on the scoreboard, they've proven beatable through the air, giving up the third-most fantasy points per game and most receptions to opposing receivers. Austin has the explosiveness to break a big play against this defense and should be involved in what is projected to be a high-scoring affair. However, the fourth-year pro has not been consistent enough to warrant consideration in most fantasy leagues. He should be viewed as a low-end flex option with upside in deeper leagues on Sunday.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. recorded a career-high seven receptions for 96 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets in Monday night's 27-17 win over the Dallas Cowboys. Harrison took advantage of a great matchup and broke out for his best fantasy performance of the season in Week 9. It was his second-highest yardage total of the season, trailing his 98-yard performance in Week 5. The Arizona offense has been more functional with quarterback Jacoby Brissett while he's filled in for an injured Kyler Murray (foot), and Harrison looks like he could be ascending with Brissett at the helm. The 23-year-old earned 10 targets in a game for the second time this season, but will face a stiffer test in Week 10 as the Cardinals go on the road to face a strong Seattle Seahawks defense.
