Davante Adams vs Marvin Harrison: Who Should You Start?
Two wide receivers who will land on plenty of the same rosters in 2026. Davante Adams (Los Angeles Rams) finished the 2025 season averaging 13.8 fantasy points per game in 14 games. Marvin Harrison (Arizona Cardinals) came in at 8.9 PPG over 12 games. The gap is real but not insurmountable with the right matchup.
Davante Adams carries a 4.9-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. Davante Adams saw 114 targets in 2025, while Marvin Harrison drew 73. That workload gap usually translates into a higher weekly floor for Davante Adams, even in weeks where Marvin Harrison posts the bigger ceiling game. Consistency-minded managers lean toward target share; boom-bust managers chase the upside.
Bye weeks matter for roster construction: Davante Adams sits Week 6 while Marvin Harrison is off Week 11. If you are deciding between the two as a season-long roster hold, the staggered byes actually work in your favor.
