ADP: Round 4 (WR19)
After being one of the biggest fantasy letdowns in his highly anticipated rookie season, finishing as the WR44 in points per game, Harrison is still being drafted as a top-20 WR. There were just four weeks last season in which he was a top-20 producer at the receiver position, with finishes as the WR40 or worse in nine weeks. In addition, 15 percent of Harrison’s total fantasy production came in one quarter, the first quarter of Week 2. The rookie struggled to consistently separate in the Cardinals offense, averaging just 2 yards of separation per target, by far lowest among all NFL wide receivers with at least 100 targets last season, per Next Gen Stats.
It’s hard to pinpoint how Harrison’s outlook will drastically change in Year 2, with the Cardinals running it back with quarterback Kyler Murray, offensive coordinator Drew Petzing and very little turnover in the receiver room. I loved Harrison coming out of college, and I’m not giving up on him being a great NFL player, but he is definitely a risky draft selection in Round 4 at this stage.
