Who Should I Start? Marvin Harrison Jr. or Luther Burden III

Wednesday, November 26, 6:01 PM

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendix) was limited in his return to practice on Wednesday, per AZCardinals.com's Darren Urban. Harrison had an appendectomy following the team's Week 10 game, and he's missed the last two games as a result. Although nothing is official yet, the 23-year-old second-year wideout could be on track to return in Week 13 on the road against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers if he's able to upgrade to a full practice on Thursday or Friday. It's good news for his fantasy managers, although there have been indications that Harrison could take a back seat to Michael Wilson, who has a whopping 25 catches on 33 targets for 303 yards the last two weeks, when he returns. Although Harrison has been better since quarterback Jacoby Brissett took over the offense, he still has yet to live up to his draft status of fourth overall in 2024.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Luther Burden III showed explosiveness in Week 12, totaling 61 yards on four total touches in the 31-28 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Burden has emerged in recent weeks, playing more snaps than Olamide Zaccheaus in the last two weeks. While the second round selection has showcased his untapped potential in 2025, he still sits behind Rome Odunze, D.J. Moore, and tight end Colston Loveland in the line for targets. Not only is his target competition stiff, but the Bears have been one of the most run-heavy teams in the NFL, ranking fifth in the NFL in rush attempts this season. The Bears face the defending champion Philadelphia Eagles in Week 13, who have struggled more this season than expected. Burden remains a bench stash for now, as his fantasy value hopes to grow later in the season.
