Mecole Hardman Fantasy

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman has been impressive through the first few preseason games this season. He's caught three passes for 48 yards and two touchdowns through two games. The rookie wideout is listed as the No. 3 wide receiver for the Chiefs this season. However, it's difficult to imagine him having much value behind Tyreek Hill, Sammy Watkins, and Travis Kelce. Watkins does seem to get injured just about every season, so that could help Hardman's value. He'll likely come into the season with WR4 value, but could see that increase as the season goes on.

Kansas City Chiefs rookie wide receiver Mecole Hardman, a second-round pick, impressed head coach Andy Reid during rookie minicamp this weekend. Reid said that Hardman's route running was brutal at first, but the speedster continued to improve each time he ran routes. There's a good possibility that Tyreek Hill is suspended indefinitely by the league or released altogether, so Hardman could be in line for a huge role in his rookie season behind Sammy Watkins. Hardman is also a fine special teams return man, so he'll likely have a role there as well. He'll need to learn Reid's complex system quickly, but he'll have immediate value in redraft leagues. However, don't overvalue him just because he's taking throws from stud quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

The Kansas City Chiefs traded up with the Rams and selected Georgia wide receiver Mecole Hardman with the No. 56 overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft. This one has everything to do with the fact that speedster Tyreek Hill will probably be released in the very near future due to an investigations into his role in a child-abuse case. Hardman is the fastest receiver in this draft and will likely return kicks for KC as well. He'll need to be coached up as a receiver, but it's hard not to like his speed for an offense that is already very dangerous. Those in single-year leagues shouldn't waste their time on Hardman in 2019, but he's very intriguing long term.
