Mecole Hardman

Hardman got banged up in Week 9 but returned to catch three passes for 17 yards. The gadget receiver will continue seeing a handful of schemed touches a week but is not on the fantasy radar heading into Week 10.

Hardman took a hard hit on the sidelined in the first quarter of Week 9's matchup with Tampa Bay and was listed as questionable to return because of a shoulder injury. He made his way back onto the field in the second half and caught three balls for 17 yards. With first-round rookie Xavier Worthy struggling, Hardman will continue to see a few designed plays per week as a part-time player.

Hardman departed in the first quarter following a hard fall on the sidelines on a punt return, initially listed as questionable to return. He would start the second half with the team and eventually secure all three targets for a modest 17 yards. He also saw a red zone carry that was called back for offensive holding. Even so, Hardman's fantasy utility in an offense now with DeAndre Hopkins is fleeting, at best.

Chiefs receiver Mecole Hardman was injured at the end of a 33-yard punt return with 6:50 left in the first quarter.
