CeeDee Lamb vs Marvin Harrison Jr.: The Full Breakdown

Two wide receivers who will land on plenty of the same rosters in 2026. CeeDee Lamb (Dallas Cowboys) finished the 2025 season averaging 12.6 fantasy points per game in 13 games. Marvin Harrison Jr. (Arizona Cardinals) came in at 8.9 PPG over 12 games. The gap is real but not insurmountable with the right matchup.

CeeDee Lamb carries a 3.7-point PPG advantage from the 2025 season. That baseline matters, but it is one input among several. Matchup difficulty, scoring trends, and injury reports move the needle week to week, which is why the best answer changes depending on when you are asking.

Target volume is the story here. CeeDee Lamb saw 117 targets in 2025, while Marvin Harrison Jr. drew 73. That workload gap usually translates into a higher weekly floor for CeeDee Lamb, even in weeks where Marvin Harrison Jr. posts the bigger ceiling game. Consistency-minded managers lean toward target share; boom-bust managers chase the upside.

One thing to note: both players share a Week 14 bye. That means you need a backup plan at wide receiver for that week, especially if one of these two is your starter.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

Marvin Harrison Jr. is a reasonable sell-high candidate if his recent games have spiked above his season average. Dynasty outlook: CeeDee Lamb (age 27) is in the middle of his productive window.
