Marvin Harrison Scores Again

Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. caught five passes for 64 yards in Sunday's loss to the Lions and scored for the second straight game. His 11 targets led the team for the second straight week, and Harrison tied for the team yardage lead despite a fairly inefficient performance: 5 receptions on 11 targets, 45.5% catch rate, 5.8 yards per target.

Harrison edged Michael Wilson in targets (11-9) and routes (35-34). Both proved tighter than their Week 2 splits, especially the targets.

The takeaway, though, is that Harrison already looks like the best bet to lead Arizona in targets.

Both WRs beat TE Trey McBride in routes and targets against the Lions. McBride matched WR Greg Dortch in routes and targets for the game.

Harrison -- and the rest of the offense -- gets a more favorable matchup with Washington in Week 3. He and McBride will be easy starters for that spot.
