Who Should I Start? Deebo Samuel Sr. or Marvin Harrison Jr.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. (heel) will not travel to Dallas for his team's Week 7 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. The Commanders will be extremely shorthanded at wide receiver in Week 7, as they will be playing without Samuel Sr., Terry McLaurin (quad), and Noah Brown (groin, knee). Without their top three wideouts, Washington will likely turn to Chris Moore, Luke McCaffrey, and Jaylin Lane for wide receiver production. McCaffrey has averaged 22.4 yards per reception and scored three touchdowns so far this season, so he may be the best option for desperate fantasy managers to take a shot on this week. Commanders tight end Zach Ertz (shoulder, calf) could be the favorite to lead the team in targets against Dallas, but he's listed as questionable to play due to shoulder and calf injuries.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. cleared the NFL's concussion protocol just in time to practice Friday and be removed from the injury report. He was only able to play in 23% of the team's snaps in Week 6, which led to just the two targets, two catches, and 32 yards. Week 7 carries uncertainty yet again as Kyler Murray (foot) remains questionable, with Jacoby Brissett waiting for the call to go under center. Harrison and Murray still haven't fully clicked, so having Brissett under center may not necessarily be a bad thing. The Green Bay Packers have given up at least one receiving touchdown in all but one of their games, so Harrison could find some room to break free, but they're around the middle of the league in terms of defending the pass. Harrison is a solid flex play, but his ceiling is a bit limited right now.
