Arizona Cardinals rookie wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. has been targeted 100 times this season, converting 51 of those opportunities into receptions. Needless to say, in Week 17, the Cardinals need to assess opportunities to get Harrison Jr. the ball versus the Los Angeles Rams.
The Rams rank No. 19 in opponent passing yards allowed per game and don’t particularly have tremendous superstar talent at the defensive back position. With this, Cardinals offensive coordinator Drew Petzing should be looking to feast. The size, speed, and quickness of Harrison Jr. should therefore create chances for quarterback Kyler Murray to get connections in at the intermediate and third level of the passing defense.
Ultimately, the Cardinals don’t have much to gain or lose from this game but they can spoil the Rams with an upset victory. Targeting Harrison Jr. to gauge his devotion despite the heartbreaking 2024 season should be a focal point for the Rams as well. Hopefully Harrison Jr. can produce a fair performance to reignite his team and finish his rookie campaign with class.
