Marvin Harrison vs Nico Collins: Who Should You Start?
Two wide receivers who will land on plenty of the same rosters in 2026. Marvin Harrison (Arizona Cardinals) finished the 2025 season averaging 8.9 fantasy points per game in 12 games. Nico Collins (Houston Texans) came in at 12.7 PPG over 15 games. The gap is real but not insurmountable with the right matchup.
Nico Collins carries a 3.8-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. Nico Collins saw 120 targets in 2025, while Marvin Harrison drew 73. That workload gap usually translates into a higher weekly floor for Nico Collins, 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: Marvin Harrison is off Week 11 and Nico Collins Week 14. 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.
