Despite Arizona deactivating WR Marvin Harrison Jr. on Sunday ahead of his trade to the Texans, veteran Kendrick Bourne remained in the same role as the previous week. He played three fewer snaps than WR Jalen Brooks, who trailed well behind leader Michael Wilson (61-39). Brooks and Bourne ran a matching 33 routes, trailing Wilson (44) and TE Trey McBride (51). Bourne did climb to second on the team in targets (8) and receptions (5) while leading the Cardinals with 70 yards. Brooks caught just two of 7 targets for 16 yards. Rookie WR Reggie Virgil got activated for the first time and finished with 2 catches for 29 yards on 5 targets.

Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. will be INACTIVE this Sunday against the Lions as the team has been actively negotiating a trade with him. It appears a deal is imminent (likely occurring between Sunday-Tuesday this week). But the team continues to take offers it appears and may be in negotiations with multiple teams. ESPN’s Adam Schefter notes that the Houston Texans are in the mix which would pair Harrison back with his college QB C.J. Stroud, but that is not announced or finalized at this point.

The Arizona Cardinals selected Texas Tech WR Reggie Virgil in Round 5 of the 2026 NFL Draft. Virgil caught just two passes across his first two seasons at Miami (Ohio) before grabbing a starting role in 2024. He earned second-team All-MAC honors that season, finishing second on the team with 816 receiving yards and first with 9 receiving TDs. Virgil parlayed that season into a move to Texas Tech this past year. There, he tallied a career-high and team-high 57 catches for 705 yards and 6 scores. Virgil mustered just 1.50 yards per route, though, ranking 44th among 49 WRs invited to this year’s Combine. The overall production profile is uninspiring, although it’s worth noting that Virgil is still only 21 and played QB up until 2020. That gives him more room for growth than the average rookie. But Virgil is ultimately unlikely to emerge as a real fantasy asset.
