## Harrison Jr. barely getting targets
Through two games, the Cardinals' No. 4 overall pick has just one catch for 33 yards and only four targets despite playing 77 percent of offensive snaps.
## Seattle defense stifled everyone
One game came against the Seahawks, whose defense has been shutting down almost everyone since last season started. Harrison got just one target in that contest.
## Brissett struggled overall
In the loss to Seattle, quarterback Jacoby Brissett finished with just 95 passing yards on 28 attempts, limiting opportunities for all receivers.

## LaFleur defends Harrison's effort
The coach said Harrison's lack of targets isn't due to lack of effort, noting his running style is different and his teammates support him.

> I don't see it that way. I think his running style is different than some other people's
## It's only week two
LaFleur emphasized the season is long and they're just two games in. Some missed opportunities came from defensive coverage or self-inflicted mistakes.

> It's a long season, we're two games in
## 49ers test awaits next
Harrison and the Cardinals face another division rival, the 49ers, in Week 3 as they look to get their offense on track.
## Key takeaway

Early target volume doesn't define a season, especially two games in with one game against a strong defense.
