Who Should I Start? Xavier Hutchinson or Marvin Harrison Jr.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. said he is still recovering from multiple injuries that shortened his 2025 season, although the third-year wideout doesn't think they will linger into the upcoming campaign, according to Josh Weinfuss of ESPN. Harrison is still trying to get back to 100% health after missing time last year due to appendicitis, two heel injuries, and a concussion. The 23-year-old former fourth overall pick in 2024 out of Ohio State missed a total of five games and finished with 41 catches, 608 yards, and four touchdowns on 73 targets in 12 total contests in his sophomore season. "I don't think it's going to linger into next season, for sure," Harrison said. "The thing with your feet, you use them all the time. That makes the process take probably a little longer than maybe usually." The question now becomes whether Harrison can take the next step to become a reliable WR1 in the NFL. In a new offense in 2026 that will be much more balanced, he's likely fighting an uphill battle to justify an early-round fantasy pick, especially with both Michael Wilson and tight end Trey McBride emerging as legitimate threats in the Cardinals' passing game. Harrison's stock is down in both redraft and dynasty leagues after his disappointing 2025 campaign.
