What is the story about?

The Arizona Cardinals are 1-1 through two games with one surprising win and one awful loss. They play the San Francisco 49ers on the road on Sunday.

So far, they have gotten great production from tight end Trey McBride, who has 17 catches and two touchdowns through two games.

However, players they have been counting on have not done much yet.

Who is underferforming so far?

WR Marvin Harrison

Harrison has just one catch in two games. Much has been said about his effort and his play, but no matter the reason, he is supposed to do more.

WR Michael Wilson

The Cardinals just gave him a $25 million per year contract. He has seven catches in two games for only 74 yards. That pace over 17 games could give him 60 receptions for 629 yards, which isn't good enough.

RB Jeremiyah Love

Love has to share the offensive

load with Tyler Allgeier, but he is averaging 3.5 yards per rush. He has 70 yards and a touchdown. At that pace, he will rush for 595 yards over 17 games.

OLB Josh Sweat

Sweat has as many sacks as you or me — none. He doesn't have a quarterback hit. It has been a rough going so far.
