Fantasy Life Articles on Marvin Harrison Jr.
From the article
His role on the perimeter, combined with the game plan to neutralize the Chargers' pass rush by keeping the ball in the short area of the field, leaves Harrison out. On throws of 2.5 seconds or less, Brissett averaged 7.2 air yards per attempt. That benefits Trey McBride and Kendrick Bourne. Not a WR who primarily plays on the boundary and runs downfield.
STACKED’s take
Harrison's perimeter role conflicts with Brissett's 2.38-second release and short-area game plan.
Harrison's Week 1 deployment does not align with the Cardinals' offensive scheme. Jacoby Brissett averaged 2.65 seconds to pressure but only 2.38 seconds to throw, forcing a short-area passing game. Harrison ran three routes from the slot without recording a target and primarily operates on the perimeter running downfield routes (24.7 air yards per target). On throws of 2.5 seconds or less, Brissett averaged only 7.2 air yards per attempt, benefiting Trey McBride and Kendrick Bourne instead. The source notes multiple instances where Harrison couldn't get open fast enough for Brissett due to tight coverage. With Seattle and San Francisco—two solid pass-rushing units—on deck, Harrison's path to fantasy relevance remains unclear given the game plan's emphasis on quick, short throws.
