Who Should I Start? Marvin Harrison Jr. or Jayden Higgins

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) was seen practicing for the second straight day on Thursday, according to Tyler Drake of Arizona Sports. Harrison was listed as limited in the first practice of the week on Wednesday. The 23-year-old missed Weeks 11 and 12 following an appendectomy, and when he returned in Week 13, he suffered a heel injury that forced him to sit out Weeks 14 and 15. All signs are pointing to Harrison returning this weekend against the Atlanta Falcons, though. Michael Wilson has gone bonkers for fantasy managers with Harrison sidelined for four of the last five games, and Harrison could take a back seat to him upon his return. Still, Harrison has plenty of upside in Arizona's pass-happy offense if he makes it back against Atlanta after catching six of seven targets for 69 yards in his last game on Nov. 30.

Houston Texans rookie wide receiver Jayden Higgins was held to just one target for the fifth time this season in Sunday's 40-20 blowout win over the visiting Arizona Cardinals. He caught one pass for a gain of four yards. The 23-year-old has four receptions on six targets for just 38 yards and no touchdowns in the last two games. The last time that Higgins had only one target came on Nov. 2 against the Denver Broncos. Higgins had a streak of five games with at least five targets from Weeks 9 to 14 before seeing just one look from quarterback C.J. Stroud on Sunday. The second-rounder from Iowa State ranks third on the team with 397 receiving yards in 14 games this year, adding four touchdowns. While Higgins has been quiet the last two games, he's a good bet to bounce back with a strong game for fantasy managers in deeper leagues as a flex play in an excellent Week 16 matchup against the last-place Raiders. Higgins is rostered in 43% of Yahoo leagues, so he's widely available.
