Who Should I Start? Rashid Shaheed or Marvin Harrison Jr.

Friday, November 28, 6:33 PM

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Rashid Shaheed is a risky starting option in Week 13 against the Minnesota Vikings. Shaheed is still finding his way as a member of the Seahawks. His snap count numbers continue improving as the weeks wear on, but his volume remains low. Shaheed was held without a catch in Week 12 after earning five targets in Week 11. The Seahawks have not yet unlocked Shaheed's big-play ability. However, with wide receiver Tory Horton (shin) on injured reserve, the Seahawks need a player to unlock the deep area of the field. The Vikings are No. 2 against opposing wide receivers in fantasy. However, all Shaheed needs is one big play to deliver a great fantasy day. Unfortunately, Shaheed is not a worthy starting option in Week 13, given the Vikings' solid defense and his lack of involvement. For now, he is a worthy bench stash until the Seahawks are able to figure out how to use him.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) is not practicing on Wednesday, according to Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic. Harrison made his return in last Sunday's loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after missing two games following an appendectomy, but he picked up a heel injury late in the game and is now in danger of missing more time. It's extremely frustrating for Harrison's fantasy managers, especially since he had a solid game with six catches for 69 yards on seven targets in his return. The 23-year-old former first-rounder still has two more days to return to practice, but a DNP to start the week is an ominous sign. Fantasy managers need to have a backup plan at the ready. If Harrison misses another game in Week 14 against the Los Angeles Rams, Michael Wilson would be in line for another massive workload in what will likely be a pass-heavy game script against L.A.
