Another week, another questionable tag for Arizona Cardinals receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., who has been battling a heel injury for a handful of weeks now.
Harrison returned to the lineup last week despite a questionable tag, and he once again has that tag this week after turning in three limited practices.
We do have confirmation on Harrison's status this week, as ESPN's Adam Schefter is reporting that he is expected to play. However, Harrison is also expected to have a limited workload, as was the case last week.
"Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison, listed as questionable for Sunday due to a heel injury, is expected to play vs. The Bengals but his s snaps will be managed, per source," Schefter wrote on Saturday night.
Historically, Harrison playing is bad news for fellow wideout Michael Wilson, who has been sensational in the games Harrison has missed this season.
So, does that mean fantasy owners should be benching Wilson in Week 17?
Michael Wilson start or sit advice
Upon Harrison's return to the lineup last week, Wilson stayed productive, reeling in two catches for 52 yards and a touchdown. Meanwhile, Harrison had just one catch for 14 yards in his first game back.
After seeing Wilson produce with Harrison in the lineup, and knowing Harrison is going to be limited again this week, we feel confident in starting Wilson, who has been on a generational run since Week 11, ranking as WR3 overall in that span in fantasy points per game.
The Bengals have been stingy against wide receivers this season, with Cincinnati giving up fourth-fewest fantasy points per game to the position.
But the Cardinals could be chasing points in this game, which is a great script for a wide receiver. Adding to that, Wilson has just been too good to sit.
