Who Should I Start? Marvin Harrison Jr. or Devin Neal

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. said that he lost the majority of the weight he had put on this past offseason (10 pounds) while dealing with appendicitis late in the season, according to Tyler Drake of Arizona Sports. Harrison said he basically had two weeks of doing nothing before "jumping back into the fire." The 23-year-old former first-rounder missed Weeks 11 and 12 following an appendectomy. Harrison returned in Week 13 to catch six of seven targets for 69 yards, but he suffered a heel injury that sidelined him in Weeks 14 and 15. He wasn't the same receiver to close out the year, catching just one of four targets for 14 yards in his final two games before suffering a new foot injury in Week 17 that cost him the regular-season finale. Harrison will now focus on getting healthy in the offseason before trying to bounce back in 2026 in his third year in the league. His fantasy arrow is pointing down after two straight disappointing seasons, especially now that Arizona could be searching for a new quarterback this offseason.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that New Orleans Saints running back Devin Neal (hamstring) has been placed on Injured Reserve, ending his 2025 season. Neal suffered a hamstring injury during New Orleans' Week 15 win over the Carolina Panthers. With Saints backs Alvin Kamara (knee, ankle) and Kendre Miller (knee) sidelined, Neal has served as his team's RB1 since Week 13. The 22-year-old played well across his two fully healthy starts, recording 153 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on 37 touches. With Kamara's return timeline uncertain and Neal and Miller both done for the season, the Saints appear likely to turn to the combination of Audric Estime and Evan Hull for backfield snaps down the stretch of the season. Estime was the more productive of the two backs in Week 15, recording 50 scrimmage yards on six touches. New Orleans will host the New York Jets in Week 16 before traveling to Tennessee to take on the Titans in Week 17.
