We have a potential problem on our hands with the Cardinals receiving corps since Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendix) returned to practice Wednesday after missing the past two games. If Harrison plays in Week 13 at Tampa Bay then we have to figure out what to do with Michael Wilson and Greg Dortch.
Harrison was rolling before getting hurt, and he scored at least 14.3 PPR points in his past two games with 10 catches for 129 yards and two touchdowns on 22 targets against Dallas and Seattle. I’m counting on him to be the No. 1 receiver again in Arizona when healthy, and he should be considered at least a No. 2 Fantasy option in the majority of leagues.
Wilson was a star when Harrison was out, and he had 25 catches for 303 yards on 33 targets in his past two games against San Francisco and Jacksonville. He scored at least 21.8 PPR points in each outing.
I’m hopeful that Wilson will remain involved when Harrison is healthy, but Wilson scored 9.1 PPR points or less, with one touchdown, in his first nine games of the year. Until we see how Harrison and the new version of Wilson work together, you can only gamble on Wilson as a No. 3 Fantasy receiver at best.
Dortch also took advantage of Harrison being out with 12 catches for 119 yards and two touchdowns on 15 targets in his past two games, and he scored at least 16.8 PPR points in each outing. But, like Wilson, Dortch had a limited role prior to that with 9.9 PPR points or less, with one touchdown, in the first nine games of the year. I would avoid Dortch in the majority of leagues when Harrison is healthy.
The good news for Week 13 is Tampa Bay is No. 10 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers, and Jacoby Brissett has attempted at least 44 passes in four of six starts in place of Kyler Murray (foot), including three in a row. Hopefully, multiple receivers can thrive with Brissett, along with tight end Trey McBride.
I’m going to lean on Harrison when healthy, and hopefully Wilson won’t disappear. But now that Harrison is back, this awesome two-game stretch for Wilson and Dortch is likely over.
