Marvin Harrison Jr.’s productivity should ramp up heading into the Fantasy Football playoffs

It’s been feast or famine for Marvin Harrison Jr. all season long. He’s averaging 11.5 Fantasy points per game, but the consistency every week has left much to be desired. In 13 weeks, Harrison has scored double-digit Fantasy points just six times. If it wasn’t for a Week 2 29-point explosion against the Los Angeles Chargers and his Week 8 23-point outing against the Miami Dolphins, his 11.5 Fantasy points per game would be even lower.

Harrison is ranked 30th among all Fantasy wide receivers, and he’s starting in 69% of all leagues. While Harrison is only a rookie, there’s plenty of reason to be satisfied with his performance so far. Heath Cummings was asked on the Week 13 Fantasy Recap podcast if Harrison was his top rookie wide receiver. While he spoke glowingly of Harrison, he had another WR in mind as his No. 1 rookie.

“It’s probably still Malik Nabers, but Marvin Harrison Jr. would probably be second for me,” Heath said. “Next week’s matchup is probably the worst that he has all season long, and it’s the week where six teams are on a bye. But then you get the Patriots, you get the Panthers, and I’m not too scared of the Rams. If they finally, for some reason, start throwing him the ball double-digit times per game, he might, in the Fantasy playoffs, justify his ADP. Now, I’m not sure how many people drafted him in Round 2 that are going to make the Fantasy playoffs, but he might be that guy as a borderline No. 1 wide receiver in the last three weeks of the Fantasy season.”

Nabers commands a much higher target share than Harrison and has averaged 16.2 Fantasy points so far this year. He’s clearly the top rookie wide receiver, and when the Giants can improve at the quarterback position, he’s going to be that much more productive.
