Who Should I Start? George Pickens or Marvin Harrison Jr.

Tuesday, August 5, 9:16 PM

Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated writes that it's a good sign of Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens in head coach Brian Schottenheimer's offense that the coaches have been able to "move him around to different receiver spots after he was exclusively an X receiver (split end) in Pittsburgh." Pickens and CeeDee Lamb worked out together in Florida in the offseason, and new receivers coach Junior Adams "has had the two working off each other constantly to try and build culture in his room." Things didn't end well for Pickens with the Steelers, but the early signs going into his first year in Dallas are "pretty good." The 24-year-old former second-rounder has had at least 801 receiving yards in each of his first three seasons. He's going to take a back seat to Lamb in this offense, but in what should be a pass-happy scheme, Pickens has lots of upside as a WR3/flex in fantasy in his new home.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. carried incredibly high expectations entering his rookie season, and in some ways, failed to reach those lofty goals. Now, entering his second season, he's looking to build some better chemistry with Kyler Murray and connect more often. In their first preseason game on Saturday against the Kansas City Chiefs, Harrison caught one of his two targets for 15 yards early in the first quarter. His only other target was a terrible throw from Murray that ended in an interception. There wasn't too much to gather from this showing, but Harrison remains the WR1 and likely will benefit from having a full offseason to prepare.
