Hardman did not record a catch before exiting. Carson Steele and Xavier Worthy are next in line to handle kick and punt return duties, respectively.

• Chiefs' Mecole Hardman: Quiet effort versus Raiders

  7D ago • By RotoWire

  Hardman caught his only target for eight yards during Sunday's 27-20 win versus the Raiders. Hardman finished the day fourth among wide receivers in snap share (29 percent), but that number could continue to shrink as veteran DeAndre Hopkins familiarizes himself with the Chiefs' playbook after the team acquired him last week. Hardman has posted no more than four catches for 33 yards in a game so far this season, and there's little reason to anticipate a significant uptick in production from him moving forward.

• Chiefs' Mecole Hardman: Targeted twice versus Niners

  14D ago • By RotoWire

  Hardman logged one reception (on two targets) for 17 yards during Sunday's 28-18 win against the 49ers. Hardman checked in fourth on the team in offensive snaps Sunday, but he saw a significant bump in his usage this week after JuJu Smith-Schuster left the game early due to a hamstring aggravation. The Chiefs continue to see wide receiver injuries pile up and could be a candidate to add an extra wideout prior to the NFL's Nov. 5 trade deadline. However, Hardman could claim added reps in the short term if Smith-Schuster misses additional time.

• Chiefs' Mecole Hardman: Makes most of limited snaps

  28D ago • By RotoWire

  Hardman hauled in all four targets for 33 yards during Monday's 26-13 victory versus New Orleans. Hardman managed to nab four passes on his four targets while tallying only eight offensive snaps on the night. While it's a positive sign that Hardman was targeted on half of the snaps he logged, it also doesn't leave much room for growth. That said, Hardman's play could earn him more run if he proves to be a reliable weapon for a Chiefs offense likely down its expected two starters in Rashee Rice (knee) and Hollywood Brown (shoulder) for the remainder of the regular season, at a minimum.
