Another great year for one of the best to ever play the position:

88 rec 1200 yards 12 TDs

As a Colts season tickets holder, I am finally going to project a slight dropoff for Marvin. He has begun to see slight injuries that haven't impacted him much to this point, but as age starts to catch up to him, I think he is slower to heal going forward.

I also see Anthony Gonzalez cutting into Harrison's #s.

I've loved to watch him play week in and week out!

I see #88 going for 78/ 1140/ 10 and good for #10WR on my board.

Still a stud. Ill give him similar numbers I gave Wayne.

95 rec, 1200 yds, 11 tds

I'll predict 85/1200/11, pretty much on par with his last three seasons. Any other player in the league, I would project some slippage because of his age, but I believe that Marvin has reached Jerry Rice status, where the normal rules simply don't apply.

85/1200/12

You know what you are getting with Harrison. Even if he has a slow stretch during the year, that just means he is going to go ballsout at a later date. One of the safest and most consistent top10 WRs out there.

I don't see Harrison catching 90+ balls this year, or probably again in his career. He will still be the safest WR in FF and lowest risk player in all of FF with #1 potential at his position.

84 receptions, 1170 yds, 12 TDs

Future Hall of Famer Marvin Harrison enters his 12th season, all with the Indianapolis Colts. He is also in his 10th season teamed with Peyton Manning. He is a former first round selection and he has been a model of consistency. In eight of his eleven years, he has played in all sixteen games, two others fifteen games. His worse year was in 1998 when he missed four games and finished as the 31st WR. In his most recent eight seasons, he has finished all in the top ten and in seven of the eight, in the top five.

His receiving yardage had been slipping a little, but it spiked upward again last year as he made 95 catches for 1366 yards (14.4 ypc) and scored twelve TDs. He has scored double digit TDs in an amazing eight straight seasons.

With the loss of one half of last year's RRBC Dom Rhodes, I look for a little extra in the passing game for the Colts this year and you can bet that Marvin Harrison will be open often enough to catch his share.

Marvin Harrison 90 receptions for 1200 yards (13.3 ypc) and 10 TDs

Marvin Harrison just doesn't quit, ever. Both he and Jerry Rice share a love and dedication for the game that few players will ever match.

85/1230/14

I'm not going to down grade Marvin until he gives me a reason to downgrade him, the old man finished #1 last year in most scoring systems

88/1250/12 = 197 pts/285 in ppr leagues

You might be right about Marvin never hitting 90 receptions again, but his lowest total in the past 8 years was 82 in 2005 when he missed a game. That was also his worst year in the past 8 seasons and he put up 82/1146/12 for 186 pts/268 in ppr leagues, he's as solid as they come.

never seen a bigger wuss in my life ..the guy NEVER takes a hit, always falls down to avoid contact, or simply runs out of bounds ( jeez, he ALWAYS runs out of bounds!!). He's not the T.O. type that'll make the tough catch over the middle while taking a mean shot.but, he's MONEY in the bank .ALWAYS produces at a high level , and at this rate, he should still be playing at the age of 50.. MH= 88/1200/13
