News: 21 hours agoThe Texans acquired Harrison and a 2027 seventh-round pick from the Cardinals on Sunday in exchange for 2027 second- and sixth-round selections, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Spin: After Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Saturday that Arizona had agreed to deal Harrison to an undisclosed team, Houston had been bandied about in the rumor mill as the organization in question. Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans confirmed following Sunday's win over the Titans that Harrison is indeed on his way to Houston, with Rapoport providing the particulars of the deal shortly thereafter. In Houston, Harrison may need some time to acclimate himself to a new offensive scheme, though he does have plenty of familiarity with quarterback C.J. Stroud from their time in college together at Ohio State. The fourth overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, Harrison is a decent gamble for a Texans team in search of a consistent No. 2 receiver behind top target Nico Collins.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Harrison's pro career is off to a slow start after he was selected with the No. 4 overall pick back in 2024. The Ohio State product was serviceable as a rookie (885 yards and eight TDs), but he missed five full games and was limited in others en route to a 41-608-4 receiving line in 2025. Harrison has finished 41st and 39th, respectively, in fantasy PPG despite a massive role near the goal line (he's third in the NFL in end zone targets since he was drafted and finished both seasons in the top five). Harrison is only entering his prime at age 24 and perhaps he'll make a Year 3 leap with new coach Mike LaFleur calling the plays and with Kyler Murray no longer under center. Harrison performed better with Jacoby Brissett under center last season and has the raw talent to make him well worth post-hype consideration in the middle rounds.
