Marvin Harrison vs Brian Thomas

“Dramatically increased competition for targets seriously caps any comeback effort for Harrison, and all reports out of camp make it sound like he is struggling with confidence issues. A WR31 ranking is a steep price to pay with so much uncertainty swirling around.”

“The easy knock on Wilson is that he blew up in games Marvin Harrison Jr.”

“Harrison is still just 24 and Arizona is going to have to throw the ball a lot. Jacoby Brissett is not capable of leading them to the playoffs, but he is capable of putting up solid fantasy numbers.”

“Round 10: Marvin Harrison Jr. (WR – ARI) I know Marvin Harrison Jr. ‘s stock is low after last season and some viral videos of drops during training camp, but the value here couldn’t be passed up.”

“The Cardinals are also looking to get Marvin Harrison Jr.”

“08) – Marvin Harrison (WR, ARI) At the start of the back end of the draft, only six teams in this mock have both of their QBs.”

“Marvin Harrison Jr. in the 7-game sample before his appendectomy, heel injury and without the early-exit concussion game, was on pace for a 1,117-yard season.”

“Overvalued: Marvin Harrison Jr., Wide Receiver (WR31, Pick 66 Overall) Marvin Harrison Jr. has had one 100-yard game since week two of his rookie season, when he had the craziest first ten minutes of a game you’ll ever see (130 yards, two touchdowns), and none of them came last season. Here’s the simple fact of the matter, too: he wasn’t good last year.”

“Marvin Harrison Jr. was the counter-pick, a name whose price has fallen far enough after a disappointing rookie season that the risk is worth taking.”

“Marvin Harrison Jr. has had a rough start to his NFL career, and being on the Cardinals isn't helping. Last season, with Jacoby Brissett as his signal-caller, he was third on the team in target share behind Trey McBride and Michael Wilson, catching 21 of the 42 passes thrown by Brissett for 302 yards and two touchdowns.”

“Marvin Harrison Jr. was disappointing compared to the cost, but didn't have a bad season by any means.”

“Harrison is not the player we had hoped for when he was drafted. However, there is plenty of room for him to be a steady WR2 with WR1 potential if he cleans up his game.”

“This means he’ll have massive week-to-week volatility. I’m mostly interested in Thomas Jr. in best ball formats where I don’t have to stress about when to start him.”

“Washington averaged 2.19 yards per route run for the season and 0.24 targets per route run — a better TPRR number than teammates Brian Thomas Jr.”

“Brian Thomas Jr. (WR – JAC) Thomas’s rookie season, 87 catches, 1,282 yards, and 10 touchdowns, is viewed as unlikely to be repeated given real added target competition from a teammate who came on strong late last season, another solid veteran addition, and a two-way rookie wildcard.”

“There’s some uncertainty about how the Jags target hierarchy sifts out this season with Brian Thomas Jr.”

“The target competition is stiffer now, with Jakobi Meyers joining the team midway through the 2025 season and Parker Washington looking like a breakout star late in the year. The Jags say two-way player Travis Hunter will be deployed primarily as a cornerback this year, but he’s a potential wild card as a target thief. This just doesn’t seem like an ecosystem that sets up well for a Brian Thomas Jr. bounce-back.”

“Brian Thomas Jr. (WR – JAC) | ADP: 74.0 (WR30) Brian Thomas Jr. had an electrifying rookie campaign. He finished as the WR4 in half-PPR points (240.5) and was tied for the WR11 in half-PPR points per game (14.1) among those who played at least eight games in 2024.”

“I do not see a single player in the Jaguars’ receiving room with higher upside than Brian Thomas Jr .”

“It's hard to trust Brian Thomas Jr. as a WR2 in PPR leagues. In situations where Meyers was on the field for the Jaguars last season, Thomas's target share was third on the team at under 17%, and he only caught 18 out of 30 targets for 287 yards and scored once.”

“You have the absolute letdown of 2025, Brian Thomas Jr., who basically played no part in the Jags' success last year. He disappeared despite the team's success, ending as the WR44.”

“Josh Cameron is a big downfield weapon who has the potential to develop into a valuable receiver, especially if Brian Thomas Jr. isn't part of the team's long-term plans.”

“Brian Thomas Jr. was playing through wrist, shoulder, and ankle injuries for much of the 2025 season, which severely impacted his production. We could certainly see the rookie version of Thomas again.”

“The talent that made BTJ a breakout star still exists, but his connection with Trevor Lawrence never consistently clicked in Liam Coen's system. Until Jacksonville proves willing to feature him more prominently again, Thomas profiles as more of a volatile upside WR3/4 than the ascending alpha many expected entering 2025.”
