Marvin Harrison vs Terry McLaurin: Who Should You Start?

This is a genuine coin flip on paper. Marvin Harrison finished the 2025 season at 8.9 PPG over 12 games with the Arizona Cardinals, while Terry McLaurin clocked in at 9.5 across 10 appearances for the Washington Commanders. A 0.6-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.

Both are workload receivers with similar target shares. Marvin Harrison turned 73 targets into 608 yards and 4 touchdowns, while Terry McLaurin converted 60 looks into 582 yards and 3 scores. When target volume is this close, game script and defensive matchup typically decide the weekly winner.

One scheduling note: Marvin Harrison is off Week 11 and Terry McLaurin 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.
