Mecole Hardman Fantasy

Kansas City Chiefs special teams coordinator Dave Toub doesn't know how often second-year wide receiver Mecole Hardman will be returning kicks in 2020 as he becomes more involved in the offense in his second season in the NFL. "Im not sure about Hardman. I dont want to lose him. I think hes just scratched the surface as a returner," Toub said. The 22-year-old was a second-round pick in 2019 and scored six touchdowns and averaged 20.7 yards per catch on just 26 receptions in his rookie season. Hardman also returned a kickoff for a TD. Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce are the top-two pass-catchers in KC's offense, but Hardman could make a push for more targets than Sammy Watkins and Demarcus Robinson because of his explosiveness. Hardman has WR3/flex upside with Patrick Mahomes throwing him the football more regularly.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman has a chance to see more time on the field in his second season in 2020 after Demarcus Robinson played almost 300 more snaps than Hardman in 2019. Hardman, just 22 years old, had 26 catches on 41 targets for 538 yards (20.7 yards per catch) and six touchdowns in 16 games (five starts) for the Super Bowl champion Chiefs last year. His elite speed makes him a threat to score anytime he touches the ball, but he'll still face inconsistent targets behind Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce, even if he has an edge over Robinson heading into 2020. On a team with blazing speed already, Hardman helps puts KC's team speed over the top.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman was unable to make much of an impact during the AFC Championship game on Sunday. Hardman finished with one reception for eight yards. His reception was technically a jet sweep play that was a handoff on the second drive of the game. However, he drew a big defensive pass interference call that helped the Chiefs get into scoring position. Hardman is a fantastic special teams player, but won't bring much value to DFS contests for Super Bowl 54.
