The Arizona Cardinals are wrapping up a lost season, but they have not shut down all of their big name players. While quarterback Kyler Murray is done for the season, wide receiver Marvin Harrison, Jr. is playing through a heel injury.

Marvin Harrison, Jr. injury update
Game status: Harrison is ACTIVE for Week 17.
Game day morning update: Ian Rapoport is reporting that Harrison is expected to play, but “[h]e likely won’t have his full load of snaps.” With that in mind, you should probably consider other options for your Week 17 championship matchups.
Harrison injured his heel in Week 13, which was his first game back after missing two games with appendicitis. He was ruled out the next two weeks after not getting in a single practice. Last week, he was a limited participant all three days and was active after getting a questionable tag. He was targeted three times and caught one pass for 44 yards. He appeared in 29 offensive snaps, which accounted for 51% of the team’s offensive snaps.
This week, Harrison has been limited each day of practice before getting the same questionable tag.
Fantasy football analysis
Harrison is coming off a poor performance in his return from his two inactive weeks. Given the nagging injury, it’s probably a decent bet to find another receiver in your championship game. Michael Wilson has emerged during Harrison’s injury absences this season, and Trey McBride remains a key option. Harrison might re-emerge this week, but I wouldn’t bet on it.
