Marvin Harrison
vs Kyle Pitts

“Arizona QB Jacoby Brissett doesn’t think the outside noise regarding Harrison is fair, as he isn’t the only offensive playmaker struggling to produce so far.”

“So far, through two games, improved health hasn’t quite led to improved results in his third season, and according to ESPN’s Dan Graziano, some in the league are starting to wonder if Harrison might become a candidate to be traded . With Harrison coming off back-to-back 1,200-yard, 14-touchdown seasons at Ohio State, many were underwhelmed when he only logged 885 receiving yards and eight touchdowns on 62 catches as a rookie in the NFL. Honestly, though, Harrison wasn’t far off pace with some of his fellow receivers taken in the top four picks of the draft.”

“The Broken-Play Fail: After a lazy stem, Harrison offers no crispness at the route break. As Jacoby Brissett scrambles to extend the play, Harrison fails to work back to his QB, forcing an unnecessary throwaway on what should have been an easy scramble-drill completion. Despite his Hall-of-Fame pedigree and occasional rookie-year flashes, his development has stalled.”

“With his lone target falling to the ground on Sunday, Harrison has registered just one reception on four targets for 33 yards through two games. For better or worse, it’s not one issue that’s holding Harrison back, but a layer of factors. Head Coach Mike LaFleur has been questioned about Harrison’s role, as he’s primarily operated as an outside X receiver with little movement or motion to free him up.”

“Harrison has the same number of drops as catches (one apiece) and has been targeted just four times in two games. Robinson notes the upcoming trade deadline might be the last chance for the Cardinals to get anything of substance for Harrison, and even then his trade market could be tepid. He points out Harrison’s fifth-year option is a complicating factor.”

“On Thin Ice: Rico Dowdle (93% rostered), Tony Pollard (92% rostered), Kenny Gainwell (80% rostered) WIDE RECEIVERS Marvin Harrison Jr., Arizona (93% rostered) Harrison finished Sunday with three targets, one catch, and 33 yards. He took a back seat to Trey McBride, Michael Wilson and, shockingly, Kendrick Bourne. He isn’t a universal drop, but in shallow two-wide receiver leagues, I see no reason to keep him around as a boom-bust WR3.”

“I’m not writing off Marvin Harrison Jr. yet. Yes, he’ll compete with Trey McBride for targets, but Harrison should see a target share of 20% or better.”

“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.”

“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.”

“In his first two seasons, Harrison has yet to record more than 52 yards per game. That said, his 11.6% touchdown rate is impressive.”

“Pass on Marvin Harrison Jr. as a frontline cornerstone. Mainstream scouting got this one wrong; his top-end athleticism simply has not translated to Sunday success. With Trey McBride commanding the middle of the field, Michael Wilson demanding targets on the outside, and elite rookie Jeremiyah Love eating up touches in the backfield, Harrison's slice of the pie is shrinking by the day.”

“Pitts has a 7.4% target share, 0.41 YPRR, zero red zone targets, one deep target, and a 10% first-read share (third on the team behind Drake London and Jahan Dotson ). I’m hesitant to plug Pitts back into a lineup this week. Green Bay has held tight ends to the 13th-fewest yards per target while ranking 16th in fantasy points per opportunity allowed to the position.”

“Kyle Pitts has just one 15-yard catch on four targets over the first two weeks, but the Falcons’ passing game has been nonexistent with Cooper Rush at quarterback. Michael Penix Jr. could return from his knee injury and take over as the Falcons’ quarterback as early as this week against the Packers. Pick up another tight end to staunch the bleeding if you must, but don’t release Pitts yet unless you have only a small handful of bench spots.”

“Pitts is coming off a season where he posted a 90% route rate and a TE4 finish in PPR points per game. Sure, he’s a frustrating asset to own, but most tight ends are. I’m not moving Pitts down in my dynasty ranks based on this one performance.”

“I think it transfers over to 2026. -Derek Brown Kyle Pitts (TE – ATL) Last season, Kyle Pitts finished as the TE2 in total fantasy points.”

“Pittsburgh Steelers Kyle Pitts was a polarizing draft pick.”

“The Falcons don’t have a lot of firepower at wide receiver beyond Drake London , so Kyle Pitts could very well be Atlanta’s No.”

“Players like Jaylen Warren , Terry McLaurin , Rico Dowdle , Rashee Rice , Jameson Williams , Emeka Egbuka , Quentin Johnston , and Kyle Pitts can all become interesting depending on where they are still available in your draft.”

“-Pat Fitzmaurice Must-Know Tight End Fantasy Football Stats Kyle Pitts (TE – ATL) Kyle Pitts had a 22.7% target share last season, but it’ll be a bit of a different situation this season.”

“Kyle Pitts (TE – ATL) Kyle Pitts had a 22.7% target share last season, but it’ll be a bit of a different situation this season First, the Falcons will likely have Tua Tagovailoa under center early in the season, and I don’t trust him as a quarterback whatsoever. Further, Pitts led the team in target share because Drake London played just 12 games.”

“The much-maligned Kyle Pitts is being drafted in the seventh round.”
