Chiefs' Mecole Hardman: Quiet effort versus Raiders
Mecole 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 Kansas City 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
Mecole 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 Kansas City 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
Mecole 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 Kansas City 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.

Mecole Hardman (knee) is active for Monday's contest against the Saints.Hardman will be able to go after popping up on the injury report Thursday with a knee issue.

To this point in the season, the wide receiver has yet to garner a target while playing 12 offensive snaps.

Hardman hasn't recorded a target through the first four games of the regular season and has been limited to kick and punt return duties.

Chiefs' Mecole Hardman: Not practicing Friday

He hasn't been a factor in the offense to date, but if he's unavailable versus New Orleans, it would impact the Chiefs' Week 5 return game.

Chiefs' Mecole Hardman: One catch in preseason finale
Mecole Hardman brought in his only target for six yards in the Kansas City Chiefs' 34-21 preseason loss to the Bears on Thursday night.The Super Bowl hero played a minor role in the exhibition finale, and it remains to be seen if there will be room for Hardman on the Chiefs' initial 53-man roster. Hardman could be no better than the No. 7 receiver on the depth chart as it currently stands, even when factoring in Marquise Brown's shoulder injury. Hardman also offers value as a returner, but there are other candidates with similar skill sets in Kansas City's deep wideout room.
