The Chiefs' second round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, Mecole Hardman was immediately thrust into significant playing time when Tyreek Hill went down in Week 1. Hardman's world class speed made him a hot fantasy add as many believed that he'd step in and at least produce a good amount of what Hill typically did on the field. It did pay off right away as Hardman scored touchdowns in each of his first two real opportunities in Weeks 2 and 3, but he then trailed off into fantasy purgatory when Hill made his return. The only games where Hardman reached 40 offensive snaps were when Hill was injured and he failed to reach even 30 snaps in all but one game after Week 5.
Sure, he's likely to get more playing time in 2020 as he'll have another year of experience under his belt, but Hardman isn't likely to suddenly supplant Sammy Watkins as the WR2.
While Hardman might be an interesting player to go after in some best ball formats because of his big play explosive ability, he's going to be almost impossible to predict on a weekly basis thus making him an extremely frustrating fantasy asset in normal leagues. He's essentially the wide receiver equivalent of a "handcuff" for Hill and that's asking for a lot to make him a quality fantasy asset.

Sammy Watkins expected to miss multiple games
Hamstring injury

FFToday's Take: Fantasy owners of Mecole Hardman may be one step away from seeing their guy burst on the scene, but it's important to note he is still sharing third receiver responsibilities with Demarcus Robinson. Hardman won't need much volume to be worth starting in fantasy, but it will still be hard for owners to predict when his big days will come. Watkins is still worth holding in most leagues for the time being.
