With WRs Marquise Brown and Rondale Moore, two of the team's top-three wideouts in terms of receiving yards, both gone, there is an opening atop the depth chart. Enter Harrison, who was the consensus top receiver in this year's draft. The Ohio State product enters the NFL amid tremendous hype -- some considered him the top overall prospect in this year's class -- and checks two boxes for fantasy owners: he's a rookie receiver, which is always tempting, and he's the son of a former prodigious producer.
In terms of talent, Harrison has elite athleticism, a proven ability to outfight defensive backs and make last second adjustments for balls, and route-running acumen that belies his youth. He's on another level as a prospect even from the likes of highly touted receivers like Ja'Marr Chase or former Buckeye teammates Garrett Wilson and Chris Olave. If there's a weakness to his game, it's strength, and doubtless teams will try to jam him at the line to slow him up.
Stepping into a situation where he's going to function as the No. 1 receiver is a lot of pressure, but Harrison is well suited to it, displaying a dedication to his craft passed down to him from his Hall-of-Fame father. Pairing him with Murray, who is so good at extending plays, should lead to some big-time off-schedule production. There's an argument to be made that Harrison belongs among the top-10 receivers drafted. While that might be a tad rich, he's a legit top-15 option right now.
