Due to salary cap reasons, there is a very good possibility that Marvin Harrison will be released by the Indianapolis Colts this week. The only way to avoid this fate would be for Harrison to agree to re-work his contract, however he hasn’t been open to such an idea.
If Harrison leaves the Colts, his fantasy football value would severely dip. As it is, Harrison isn’t worth much in the fantasy football world. In 2008, Harrison had a very underwhelming campaign. At 36, it appears as if Harrison’s days as an elite receiver are over.
Reggie Wayne’s fantasy value would rise if Harrison were to be released. The big winner would be Anthony Gonzalez, who would likely move into a starting role. Gonzalez would suddenly become a relatively good fantasy football wide receiving prospect.
As far as Harrison on another team, he’d have to land in a perfect situation to have any fantasy appeal. Even if he lands a role as a starting receiver, it’d be hard to imagine him being worth more than a middle to late fantasy draft pick.
