Former second round draft pick Mecole Hardman has been a bust so far for the Chiefs, but he may now finally be given the opportunity to play consistent snaps in a starting role for one of the league's top offenses. With Sammy Watkins now gone, this is likely Hardman's final chance to do something on the field. He's played 32 career games since being drafted in 2019 and he's yet to reach 100 receiving yards in a single contest. In fact, he's been held to one or fewer catches in 12 of those 32 games, while exceeding four catches just once thus far in his career.
Still, Hardman was one of just two Kansas City wide receivers not named Tyreek Hill to have even one game of 20 or more PPR fantasy points in 2020, the other being Watkins who also only did it once. He's considered a "boom or bust" type fantasy player, but it's safe to say that the "booms" have been few and far between thus far.
While just about everyone would agree that Hardman is the only other Chiefs pass catcher outside of Hill and Kelce who could reasonably be useful for fantasy purposes in 2021, it's worth noting that he was out-snapped by Demarcus Robinson in games where the Chiefs were without Watkins. There's a good chance that Robinson actually ends up outscoring Hardman this season, but if there's one player who could end up breaking out in fantasy, it's much more likely to be Hardman than Robinson.
