Thought Antonio Williams' film was really impressive in Week 1. Good routes, explosive out of breaks, and created some good separation. That offense needs more options and he definitely commanded some opportunity with his play. Reminder: I will have weekly charting notebooks on RP. Looking to post the first one today with Williams, Matthew Golden, MHJ, Waddle and more.NegativeUsageSep 15, 2026
Marvin Harrison Jr. is utilized as the vertical threat in the Cardinals' offense, evidenced by his 24 air yards per target in Week 1. He ran only 12% of his routes from the slot, and while Harmon expects him to be volatile on a week-to-week basis, he remains confident in his long-term outlook despite a slow start for the offense.PositiveUsageSep 13, 2026

Marvin Harrison Jr. is expected to serve as the primary X receiver for the Cardinals while seeing increased usage from the slot. Matt Harmon highlights that Harrison Jr. is playing less than 70% of his snaps on the line of scrimmage, signaling a significant shift in his alignment usage and positional flexibility.PositiveRoleAug 14, 2026
Matt Harmon expresses hope that Marvin Harrison Jr. will run a route tree in Arizona under Drew Petzing and LaFleur that mirrors the Rams' concentrated usage of digs, slants, and outs rather than relying on pure vertical routes.PositiveRoleAug 12, 2026
Matt Harmon expects Marvin Harrison Jr.'s role to change significantly in his second year under offensive coordinator Michael Floor. After a rookie season that was somewhat sacrificial and focused on vertical X routes, Harrison is expected to see more intermediate, breaking-area routes in the Rams-style offense.PositiveBreakoutAug 11, 2026
Matt Harmon is buying into Marvin Harrison Jr. as a key Cardinals offensive piece. While previously deployed rigidly as an X receiver, his role is expected to evolve into a more modern, motion-heavy scheme. Harmon defends his route profile, noting his excellence on digs, slants, curls, and outs—routes prioritized in this offense—and expects increased productivity as the team's quarterbacks are more likely to target these routes than Kyler Murray. He is part of a top-three receiver group alongside Michael Wilson and Kendrick Bourne that enables 11 personnel, though Jourdan Rodrigue notes he is still learning his specific fit within the scheme.PositiveRoleAug 7, 2026
Matt Harmon remains high on Marvin Harrison Jr.'s potential, noting his elite ability to run dig routes and his improvement as a contested-catch receiver. While he was strictly utilized as an X receiver previously, Harmon is excited about the team's plan to use motion to blur positional lines and increase his deployment versatility. Harmon believes the continued development of Michael Wilson will further facilitate this, allowing the Cardinals to use Harrison in more diverse ways than previously seen.PositiveUsageJul 22, 2026

Matt Harmon is optimistic about Marvin Harrison Jr. as a change factor in the Cardinals' offense, noting the new system under Michael Lor is objectively better for wide receiver usage. Harmon ranks him as WR31 (66th overall), slightly ahead of Yahoo ADP, and views him as a better dynasty buy than redraft until the QB situation is resolved. He emphasizes that Harrison is a better real-life player than public perception suggests, citing an 80th percentile success rate versus man coverage.PositiveRoleNo date
Matt Harmon identifies Marvin Harrison Jr. as a dark horse candidate for the lone receiver in heavy personnel packages (12, 22, 31 personnel). Harrison already filled this role when healthy in Drew Petty's offense with heavy tight end usage. The Cardinals can deploy Elijah Higgins (tight end/former receiver) as a clear-out player similar to Terrence Ferguson's role, freeing Harrison to run big in-breakers and out-breakers where he excels.NegativeUsageNo date
Marvin Harrison Jr. is cited as a comp for on-ball snap alignment percentage at 81%+, representing pure X receiver archetypes with high alignment consistency.
