Dalton Schultz or Marvin Harrison Jr.: Who Should You Start?
2026 Week 3 · deterministic head-to-head · Verdicts based on PPR scoring.
Schultz’s middle-field role gives him the steadier PPR path
Start Schultz: his chain-moving role and meaningful target involvement give him a stronger floor at a position where a modest point gap matters. Harrison has more snaps and elite catch-point ability, but his current involvement and Arizona’s limited scoring outlook make the favorable talent case harder to trust. Schultz’s main risk is that his workload evidence spans only two games, so the apparent target role may not hold.
What flips it: A sustained increase in Harrison’s target involvement.

Why Dalton Schultz
StartTE1 in high-volume pass-catching role. Reliable chain-mover over the middle with sure hands.
Start — TE21 consensus, projects TE15 this week: IND is the 10th-softest matchup vs TEs, 25% target share.
- His high-volume work over the middle can turn Houston’s better scoring outlook into repeatable PPR chances.
- A two-game sample leaves real uncertainty that his target role will hold.
Why Marvin Harrison Jr.
SitWR1 and primary outside receiver. Polished route runner with elite catch-point ability; 2025 production capped by missed games.
Sit — WR30 consensus, projects WR69 this week: SF is the 6th-toughest matchup vs WRs, 17.5 implied team total caps the ceiling.
- Harrison’s snap presence and catch-point skill leave a path to a rebound if his involvement grows.
- The attractive talent case is undercut by a tough listed matchup and a less favorable game script.
