Marvin Harrison Jr. Rest-of-Season Outlook
Through 6 games he's WR75 at 5.6 PPR points per game, against 10.7 over 12 games last season (WR49). He's running behind last season's pace.
Through Week 7 he ranks 66th of 96 in target volume (9.1% target share) and 53rd of 96 in downfield role (14.7% air-yards share). Target volume is the soft spot. C.J. Stroud is his quarterback.
The main risk is the job itself. He's the listed starter with Tank Dell next on the depth chart, and a benching or an injury would take his value to zero overnight.
The next favorable matchup is the Ravens in Week 12 (7th against WRs).
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 16, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
Don't let a noisy 2025 fool you: when Harrison ran routes, the efficiency was elite. He posted 0.412 EPA per play and a 54.8% success rate, both jumps over his rookie marks, and that points to a player whose per-snap impact never cratered. The problem was volume. Across only 12 games he drew just 73 targets and an 11.8% target share, well off the 22.2% and 116 looks he commanded as a rookie, and his WOPR collapsed from 0.629 to 0.32.
The profile screams positive regression if the opportunity returns. He still averaged nearly 13 air yards per target and stayed a red-zone presence with 10 red-zone and five end-zone targets, finishing with four scores on a thin 41 catches. Restore a full route share and the downfield usage, and the WR45 finish becomes a floor, not a forecast. Buy the dip with conviction.
