The Arizona Cardinals lost on the road last week against the Buffalo Bills. In that game, rookie wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. only caught one pass for four yards receiving. Many were critical of quarterback Kyler Murray for not getting him the football.
Week 2 was a lot different for the Arizona Cardinals as they dominated against the Los Angeles Rams 31-10. Marvin Harrison Jr. caught a 23-yard touchdown pass and a 60-yard touchdown pass from Kyler Murray in the first quarter. It set the tone of the football game and Arizona never looked back as they improved to 1-1 on the year. As for Los Angeles, they dropped to 0-2.
Fans React To This Move
A lot of Cardinals fans were happy about him getting involved more in the offense. This is what some of the fans had to say about it:

This 2024 Dynasty Rookie Class is as good as advertised 📈📈🚀🚀
Brock Bowers should be considered THE TE1 in Dynasty. A Big Jordy Nelson playing TE. He will feed families for years.
Marvin Harrison Jr. & Malik Nabers are BOTH Top 7 Dynasty WRs and that is conservative.

Week 1 Gameball:
Marvin Harrison Jr. goes off in week 2 in his home debut for the Cardinals. 4-130-2.
What a grab in the back of the endzone (great pass as well). Upside is another Galaxy. And the same goes for Malik Nabers. Beast with volume. Upside same as Marvin Jr.— FantasyDoppler (@FFDopplerRadar) September 15, 2024
Bro I had the Cardinals as one of my surprise teams, I knew getting Marvin Harrison Jr was going to be a good thing for Kyler.

His game was a big deal to a lot of people in Week 2. There was a reason why the Arizona Cardinals drafted him fourth overall in the 2024 NFL Draft from Ohio State.
Rookie Of Year Potential
Marvin Harrison Jr. and Malik Nabers of the New York Giants could very well compete for the Offensive Rookie of the Year this season. It looks like those two rookie wide receivers are the best wide receivers in the 2024 NFL Draft class.
Harrison Jr. needs the football every week and Kyler Murray needs to feed him. This is only the beginning for Harrison Jr. His Dad, Marvin Harrison Sr., was a tremendous wide receiver in the NFL.
