Arizona Cardinals
Marvin Harrinson Jr. ran 42 percent of his routes from the slot
That’s a season-high in slot routes from the rookie receiver. He was targeted twice and caught one pass from the slot, but it’s the thought that counts from OC Alex Van Pelt. Harrison Jr. also cut his rate of go routes from 26 percent heading into Week 8 to 17 percent last week. Harrison Jr. in turn, caught six passes for 111 yards and a touchdown. MHJ doesn’t need to be used like Tyreek Hill to be productive, but a little more creativity will go a long way.

He is the only tight end with three receptions for 40+ yards. On a third hand, that is exactly what you want Pitts to be doing. He is a big, field-stretching receiver who is too large (lorge) for corners and too fast for linebackers.
not an exaggeration to say these are the two plays in Kyle Pitts career that most closely resemble the ‘matchup nightmare’ we all thought he could be
1. Size + physicality to throw off a DB in man cvg
2. MOF full speed route, long strides & strength to run away from the defense pic.twitter.com/ewGujHofO0

Pitts will inevitably hit a valley of fantasy production, but his big-play potential makes him worth starting through the down weeks.
