Arizona Cardinals rookie wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. wasn’t satisfied with his outing in Week 4, nor the added loss to his team’s season record of 1-3.
Fueled by redemption and the NFC West rivalry with the San Francisco 49ers, quarterback Kyler Murray will be looking to target Harrison more often in Week 5.

The Niners defense hasn’t been invincible like in years past. The Minnesota Vikings scorched them for 403 total yards in week 2, and the Los Angeles Rams rushed for 98 yards and two touchdowns versus them in week 3.
Moreover, Murray’s scramble ability will force the Niners linebackers out of zone coverage, which should allow passing lanes for Marvin Harrison Jr. and tight end Trey McBride. Furthermore, unless Niners defensive back Charvarius Ward becomes Superman overnight, the Cardinals should feel comfortable challenging him in one-on-one situations with Harrison.

If the Cardinals can start fast and keep the 49ers on their heels, they should be able to dictate the tempo of this game and regain ground in the NFC West.
