Marvin Harrison Jr. Week 17 Outlook - Cardinals at Bengals

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Sat, Dec 27th 2025, 9:35am EST

Last week, in his first game back from a heel injury, Marvin Harrison Jr. had only a 54.5% route share, a 9.7% target share, and a 15.8% first-read share. The Cards stated they were easing Harrison Jr. back in last week, but I doubt just one more week will make a massive difference in his heel health. Harrison Jr. stated previously that the injury was something he'd likely have to deal with for the rest of the season. With his usage and role in the offense up in the air, Harrison Jr. is only a middling flex play this week with a bad matchup. Since Week 12, Cincy has allowed the ninth-fewest PPR points per target and the ninth-fewest receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.
