Who Should I Start? Marvin Harrison Jr. or Dont'e Thornton Jr.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) exited during the second half of Sunday's Week 17 contest against the Cincinnati Bengals. He was listed as questionable to return but did not check back into the game before the clock hit triple zeroes. The second-year receiver entered this week with a lingering heel injury, so it appears that he re-aggravated the existing ailment. Harrison had a disappointing performance with zero catches on one target. He has handled a reduced workload while injured, catching just one pass on four targets over his last two games. With the Cardinals eliminated from the playoff hunt, they could consider making Harrison inactive for Week 18. Managers should check back for updates in the days leading up to next week's contest.

Las Vegas Raiders rookie wide receiver Dont'e Thornton Jr. (concussion) won't carry an injury designation into Sunday's Week 15 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. Thornton was limited in practice to begin the week, but has been cleared to suit up after two straight full practice sessions. He's back in the mix after sitting out due to a concussion during last week's loss to the Denver Broncos. When healthy, Thornton is unlikely to be a significant contributor in what has been a bad Raiders offense. The 23-year-old has only eight receptions for 123 yards in 11 games this season. Fantasy managers should look elsewhere for help ahead of Vegas' tough road matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.
