Who Should I Start? Jerry Jeudy or Marvin Harrison Jr.

Saturday, December 20, 6:47 AM

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy may be the team's WR1, but he has fallen behind rookie tight end Harold Fannin Jr. in targets, receptions, and yards for the season; a trend that is unlikely to reverse in Week 16 against the Buffalo Bills. Despite playing 96% of the team's snaps and running a route on all 42 drop-backs in Week 15 against the Chicago Bears, Jeudy managed to haul in just two of his four targets for 22 yards. The veteran wide receiver has failed to gain rapport with rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders, who prefers to target fellow rookie tight end Fannin Jr. However, the Bills routinely limit opposing tight ends to single-digit fantasy points and are the hardest matchup for that position in the league, which may benefit Jeudy in Week 16. Jeudy still offers big-play upside, and Sanders should have additional time in the pocket this week to take deep shots, which gives him modest upside against the Bills at home this week. Jeudy is a high-risk, low-end WR3 option for deep league fantasy managers and is difficult to trust in Week 16.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) is officially active for his team's Week 16 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. Harrison Jr. has been sidelined since Week 13 due to a heel injury. Across 10 games this season, the 23-year-old has hauled in 40 receptions for 594 yards and four touchdowns on 69 targets. Previous reporting from ESPN's Adam Schefter indicated that Arizona planned to "ease" Harrison Jr. back into the lineup, so he could see a smaller snap share than usual. In Harrison Jr.'s absence, Michael Wilson has stepped into the WR1 role in Arizona, while star tight end Trey McBride should be expected to remain the team's lead pass-catcher. Harrison Jr. profiles as a low-end WR3/flex option for fantasy managers in Week 16 against Atlanta.
