Marvin Harrison traded to Texans: Joins C.J. Stroud in Houston

The Cardinals moved Marvin Harrison to the Texans for a package highlighted by a second-round pick.

By Cole Hartwell

The Arizona Cardinals traded Marvin Harrison to the Houston Texans for a package highlighted by a second-round pick, according to Pro Football Rumors. The move completes a historically early separation from a top-10 wide receiver draft choice.

What happened

Harrison did not pan out in Arizona, and Houston will see if pairing him with college teammate C.J. Stroud will reinvigorate the former mega-prospect. The Cardinals had given serious consideration to Malik Nabers at No. 4 in the 2024 draft, but Harrison’s workout broke the tie for Arizona.

Harrison was viewed as that draft class’ top wide receiver prospect by many. He did not work out at the Combine and did not run the 40-yard dash at Ohio State’s pro day. Nabers went sixth overall to the Giants and posted a 1,200-yard rookie season.

Context

Harrison has 25.9 PPR points in five games this season, with 17 targets, 8 receptions, 119 receiving yards and one touchdown. He is listed as RWR3 on Houston’s depth chart. He had 6.4 PPR points in Week 6 against the Jaguars.

Stroud has 113.2 PPR points in six games this season, with 1,714 passing yards, nine touchdowns and one interception. He is QB1 on the depth chart.

Depth chart

Harrison is listed as RWR3 on Houston’s depth chart. The Texans’ other wide receivers are not listed in the depth chart provided.

What’s next

The Texans play the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 6. The game has already been played.

🏈 Fantasy impact

Harrison’s trade to Houston gives him a fresh start with C.J. Stroud, his college quarterback. Stroud is having a strong season with 1,714 passing yards and nine touchdowns. However, Harrison has been unproductive so far with only 25.9 PPR points in five games and is listed as RWR3. He is projected for just 4.0 PPR points in Week 7. Fantasy managers should wait to see if Harrison earns a bigger role before adding him. The trade could eventually boost his value, but he is not startable now.
