Jaylen Waddle vs Marvin Harrison: Who Should You Start?
This is a genuine coin flip on paper. Jaylen Waddle finished the 2025 season at 10.1 PPG over 16 games with the Denver Broncos, while Marvin Harrison clocked in at 8.9 across 12 appearances for the Arizona Cardinals. A 1.2-point gap means any given week could go either way.
With a margin this thin, season averages are not the deciding factor. Weekly variables like opponent defense, game script, and injury status carry more weight than a fraction of a PPG. The right start in Week 6 might be the wrong start in Week 14.
Target volume is the story here. Jaylen Waddle saw 100 targets in 2025, while Marvin Harrison drew 73. That workload gap usually translates into a higher weekly floor for Jaylen Waddle, even in weeks where Marvin Harrison posts the bigger ceiling game. Consistency-minded managers lean toward target share; boom-bust managers chase the upside.
One scheduling note: Jaylen Waddle is off Week 14 and Marvin Harrison Week 11. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in wide receiver for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.
