Wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. has been a bright spot for the Arizona Cardinals this season. After a strong rookie year last season, Harrison has taken another step forward in 2025. While the Cardinals have struggled, Harrison has had a strong season. However, he will not be available in Week 12 because he is recovering from an appendectomy.
What Happened to Marvin Harrison Jr.?
Marvin Harrison Jr. had an appendectomy on Nov. 10 after a flare-up in his appendix. The surgery went well, but it kept him out of last week’s game. He has now been ruled out of the team’s Week 12 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Is Marvin Harrison Jr. Playing Week 12?
No, Marvin Harrison Jr. is not playing in Week 12. He will miss his second consecutive game while he recovers from appendix surgery. With the Cardinals out of the playoff race, there is no reason for them to rush him back.
Marvin Harrison Jr. Fantasy Outlook
The fantasy outlook for Marvin Harrison Jr. is still good. We are only a little bit passed the halfway point of the season. As a result, Harrison still has plenty of time to accrue fantasy value during the rest of the season.
Recovery from an appendectomy does not usually take long. With Harrison missing this week, he should have plenty of time to recover before the Cardinals’ game next week. Even if he misses a third game next week, he should not be out much longer and will return to fantasy lineups soon.
Fantasy Replacements For Marvin Harrison Jr. This Week
With Marvin Harrison Jr. out for at least one more week, fantasy owners will need to find a replacement. Fortunately for them, there should still be several solid options available on their waiver wire. Indianapolis’s Alec Pierce is a good option and is only owned in 43.7% of leagues.
If you are in a deeper league, we like Chicago’s Luther Burden III. He has been heating up in recent weeks and getting more targets. Carolina’s Xavier Legette is another solid option.
