Mecole Hardman Fantasy

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman caught two of his three targets for 10 yards and added seven yards on two carries in a 23-20 win over the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC Championship on Sunday. Hardman was making his first appearance in a game since injuring his pelvis in Week 9. He didn't make it through the contest unscathed, however, as he appeared to aggravate the injury after making a catch in the third quarter. Hardman's status for the Super Bowl is now in question, although he has two weeks to rest up.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman (pelvis) is available for the AFC Championship against the Cincinnati Bengals. The 24-year-old hasn't played since Week 9. However, he had been on a roll before going down, scoring a touchdown in each of his previous three games. Although nearly all of the Chiefs wideouts are healthy, Hardman can get hot, so he warrants consideration as a flex option in DFS tournaments.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receivers Mecole Hardman (pelvis) and Justin Watson (illness) are both listed as questionable to play on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC Championship tilt. Hardman was limited all week, while Watson popped up on the injury report on Friday with a DNP. Hardman scored touchdowns in each of his last three games, but he last saw the field in Week 9. Given the long layoff, he'll be untrustworthy for fantasy lineups if he's active this weekend. The 24-year-old has plenty of speed to spare, but the Chiefs just have too many mouths to feed on offense as things currently stand. Watson had 315 receiving yards and two touchdowns in 17 regular season games and caught his only target for 12 yards in last week's playoff game. Hardman would be the more attractive deep sleeper if they both suit up.
