From the article

head coach Mike Lafleur was asked about potentially "manufacturing" touches for Marvin Harrison Jr. early on in games to get him going and potentially build his confidence back up. Per Pro Football Talk's Rivers McCown, LaFleur "met the idea" but overall seemed skeptical. After acknowledging that was an option, he deferred to the idea that there are only so many plays in a game and it makes it hard to force looks Harrison's way when you've got McBride, Bourne (the better player right now), and Wilson, on top of also attempting to establish the run game.

LaFleur skeptical of manufacturing touches for Harrison Jr. amid crowded target tree.

Head coach Mike LaFleur was asked about manufacturing touches for Harrison Jr. early in games to build confidence, but he expressed skepticism about the strategy. LaFleur acknowledged the option but deferred to the reality that there are only so many plays in a game and it's difficult to force looks Harrison's way given the competing offensive weapons: McBride, Bourne (described as the better player right now), and Wilson, plus the need to establish the run game. The source suggests this may signal it's time to sell low on Harrison shares.
