It’s been quite the roller-coaster season for Marvin Harrison Jr. After seeing his hype balloon to the point that he was considered a first-round fantasy draft pick, the rookie started the season with a paltry 0.9-point performance.
Things changed completely over the next three weeks, with MHJ reaching double-digit fantasy points.
Then, a missed game due to concussion was sandwiched between two sub-five-point performances.

Suffice it to say, fantasy football managers were in panic mode.
Whether it was his usage, his deployment or his own individual talent, everyone sought an explanation for MHJ’s struggles. Then Week 8 happened.
Harrison scored 20.10 fantasy points against a tough Miami secondary, and his usage in particular (more crossers instead of go routes) gave hope for future weeks.
The uber-talented rookie will get another tough matchup in Week 9 against the Bears. Check out where he lands in our Week 9 WR rankings:
