The Bottom Line

Marvin Harrison Jr. is the better fantasy play this season.

Marvin Harrison Jr. has the edge, but it is not a runaway. The 1.8-PPG advantage is real (8.9 to 7.1), and Marvin Harrison Jr.'s 4 touchdowns show scoring upside. Rashid Shaheed is the buy-low candidate if recent production has dipped, because the talent gap is smaller than the numbers suggest.

Low confidence: the production gap is narrow enough that weekly context matters more than the season line.
