Chiefs Expecting Good Things From Mecole Hardman
4 years agoKansas City Chiefs special teams coordinator Dave Toub said the team is expecting a lot of good things from second-year wide receiver/return man Mecole Hardman this year. Hardman is the team's top kick returner to start the season, and he'll be the No. 3 wideout behind Tyreek Hill and Sammy Watkins. He worked hard in the offseason to improve as a receiver, working on his release and defeating press coverage. The 22-year-old had the third-most kick-return yards in 2019 with 704, and his 26.07 average yards per kickoff return was also the third-most. Hardman was extremely efficient as a receiver in his rookie year, but the problem is that he saw just 41 targets in 16 games. If Hill or Watkins sit out with injuries this year, Hardman could really explode. In Week 1 against a suspect Texans secondary, Hardman will a sleeper as a WR4/flex in deeper fantasy leagues.
