From the article

I was hoping Marvin Harrison Jr. would be used differently in new Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur's offense than he was in former Cardinals OC Drew Petzing's offense. Yahoo's Matt Harmon refers to X receivers who run a lot of go routes and don't draw a lot of targets as "sacrificial X receivers." Petzing used Harrison largely as a sacrificial X receiver. Harrison's average depth of target was 13.4 yards in 2024 and 12.9 yards in 2025.

Positive signalRole

Harrison's role as sacrificial X receiver persists under LaFleur with limited targets.

The source expresses disappointment that Marvin Harrison Jr. may not be used differently in new Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur's offense than he was in former Cardinals OC Drew Petzing's offense. Petzing used Harrison largely as a sacrificial X receiver—a term Yahoo's Matt Harmon uses for X receivers who run a lot of go routes and don't draw a lot of targets. Harrison's average depth of target was 13.4 yards in 2024 and 12.9 yards in 2025, according to Pro Football Reference. Against the Chargers in Week 1, Harrison had one catch.
