Harrison Jr. has seen his production gradually fall back down to Earth each week since his two-touchdown performance in Week 2 against the Rams, and things bottomed out for the rookie yesterday as he left the game with a concussion and zero points in the fantasy box score. The Cardinals offense overall couldn’t get anything going on the day, with the Packers jumping out at one point to a 24-0 lead late in the second quarter. That forced the Cardinals to be one dimensional in favor of the pass, although Harrison was already out of the game at that point and didn’t return. Because it’s a concussion, there’s at least a chance that Harrison will be able to return in Week 7 without missing any time – he’ll have an extra day to recover with Arizona’s next game against the Chargers coming in Week 7 on Monday night. However, given that the recovery timelines for the injury seem to be running a bit longer this season, fantasy managers should be ready with a backup option in the event that this year’s fourth overall pick is unable to suit up. WR Michael Wilson would receive a significant boost should Harrison miss any time, while TE Trey McBride would continue to be an every-week high-TE1 start with additional security next week.
