Adds snaps in Week 2
Hardman reeled in two of his three targets for 30 yards in Sunday's game versus the Chargers.
Analysis: Hardman's final line didn't really inspire a ton of confidence, and his increased playing time came as a result of Sammy Watkins (head) leaving the game. His snap percentage increased from 29 percent to 65 percent in Week 2, hinting that Hardman could have a big workload on tap if Watkins misses time beyond Sunday's tilt.

Disappointing opener
Hardman compiled just one catch for six yards on his only target in Thursday's season opener versus Houston.
Analysis: Hardman was pegged as a prime candidate for a breakout season in 2020, but his effort in the opener seems to suggest he hasn't even done enough to warrant consistent reps. He saw just 20 offensive snaps on the night, finishing not only behind Tyreek Hill (59) and Sammy Watkins (55) but also with 13 fewer than Demarcus Robinson. It's still too early to write off Hardman, but it's certainly a disappointing start to 2020.

Likely set for improvement in 2020
Hardman should make significant improvements on the offensive side of the ball in 2020, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Hardman's 2019 rookie campaign started fairly strong, with the rookie notching a pair of touchdowns and logging hefty snap counts through the first four weeks. Unfortunately, his role dwindled down the stretch, and he finished out the year with 26 catches for 538 yards and six touchdowns. Another offseason -- albeit an unusual one -- in the Chiefs' system should give Hardman an opportunity to improve on some weaknesses, namely as a run blocker. Given Sammy Watkins' rather lackluster campaign…read more

Kept quiet in Super Bowl
Hardman caught one pass for two yards and lost six yards on one carry in a 31-20 win over the 49ers in the Super Bowl.
Analysis: Hardman added three kick returns for 58 yards but called for a fair catch on both of the punts he fielded. He was limited to a 28 percent snap share on offense, working behind Tyreek Hill (87 percent), Sammy Watkins (87 percent) and Demarcus Robinson (49 percent). With Watkins a potential cap casualty and Robinson at the end of his rookie contract, Hardman likely will enter his second pro season as Kansas City's No. 2 or 3 option at wide receiver. The 21-year-old was quiet in the playoffs, but…read more

Draws crucial penalty
Hardman caught his lone target for an eight-yard gain in Sunday's 35-24 win over Tennessee, adding four kickoff returns for 86 yards, one punt return for seven yards and also drawing a 41-yard pass interference penalty.
Analysis: The ticky-tack penalty was arguably Hardman's biggest contribution, converting a third-and-10 with just under four minutes remaining in the game. Although it didn't show up in the box score, Hardman's role on offense expanded from a 17 percent snap share the previous week (a 51-31 win over Houston) to a 40 percent share in Sunday's win over Tennessee. Accordingly, Demarcus Robinson dipped from 58 percent to 37 percent, catching two passes for 31 yards in the process. The exact split will be…read more

Rips huge return for score
Hardman had a 30-yard reception on his lone target during Sunday's 31-21 win over the Chargers. He also returned two kicks for 117 yards and a touchdown and three punts for 21 yards.
Analysis: The Chiefs were down early in the second half when Hardman took the kickoff and high-stepped up the sideline before cutting back for a 104-yard kick return for a touchdown, the first return touchdown of his career. Hardman has caught multiple passes in just one game since Week 8, but he boasts an unreal 20.7 yards-per-reception average this season. After the Chief's first-round bye, they will take on the Patriots, Texans or Bills. In two games against New England and Houston this season,…read more

Comes up empty
Hardman was not targeted in Sunday's game against the Bears.
Analysis: Hardman did log 35 percent of the offensive snaps, an increase from less than 25 in each of the last two tilts, but it didn't turn into anything this week. The rookie is a touchdown-dependent DFS dart at this point, but he could work his way into a larger role in future seasons.

Good to go
Hardman (glute) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday night's game against the Bears.
Analysis: Hardman was added to the Chiefs' Week 16 injury report after being limited at practice Thursday. His return to a full session Friday, however, paves the way for the rookie to suit up Sunday. Hardman has found the end zone six times in 14 games this season, but a lack of volume of late has limited him to a hit-or-miss TD-dependent fantasy option.

Added to Week 16 injury report
Hardman (glute) was limited at practice Thursday.
Analysis: Hardman was added to the Chiefs' Week 16 injury report Thursday, so his status is worth monitoring in advance of Sunday night's game against the Bears. Though Hardman has logged six TDs in 14 games to date, he remains a hit-or-miss fantasy option, given his sporadic volume in Kansas City's passing attack. The 2019 second-rounder parlayed his 14 snaps in Week 15's win over the Broncos into one catch (on two targets) for 10 yards.

Minimal Week 15 impact
Hardman was held to one catch for 10 yards on two targets Sunday versus the Broncos.
Analysis: Hardman's 14 offensive snaps mirrored the 14 he received last week against the Patriots, though he made the most of his touches in Week 14, recording a 48-yard touchdown reception on his lone grab. The rookie wideout has proven to be the deep threat the team expected when it drafted him, totaling four catches of 40 yards or longer and eight catches of 20 yards or longer on his 25 receptions this season. With six touchdowns on the board as well, Hardman may have the makeup of a future regular on…read more

Grabs long TD in win
Hardman caught his only target for a 48-yard touchdown in Sunday's 23-16 win over the Patriots.
Analysis: Patrick Mahomes appeared to injure his throwing hand early in the game and didn't take many shots downfield afterwards, but he did connect with Hardman on a long TD in the second quarter -- although the rookie did have to come back for the underthrown ball before turning on the jets to beat safety Duron Harmon and get to the end zone. Hardman has seen zero or one target in four of the last five games but has still managed to score twice on his four total catches over that stretch, highlighting…read more

Minimal Week 13 showing
Hardman rushed once for nine yards and didn't haul in a pass Sunday versus the Raiders.
Analysis: Hardman saw a drastic dip in his playing time this week with Tyreek Hill available, ranking fourth at the position in total snaps behind Hill, Sammy Watkins and Demarcus Robinson. The rookie has some viable fantasy weeks under his belt, but it would likely require missed time from either Hill or Watkins down the stretch for him to warrant ownership in most redraft leagues.

Slow day despite added snaps
Hardman collected two of his four targets for 13 yards Monday against the Chargers.
Analysis: Hardman saw a bump in his snap count following Tyreek Hill's (hamstring) injury, but it didn't raise his fantasy value much on the night. A significant workload increase could be on tap again following the bye if Hill sits following the bye week, potentially positioning Hardman for fantasy relevance in some formats versus a subpar Raiders pass defense.

Goes big with only target
Hardman reeled in his lone target for a 63-yard touchdown Sunday against the Titans.
Analysis: Hardman saw a slight increase in his offensive snap percentage Sunday to 22 from 18 and 15 in the previous two weeks. He'll need to use his speed to take advantage of his minimal target share, but he's managed to do just that in three of the last four games, turning just six targets and five receptions into three touchdowns. Still, the lack of volume likely makes Hardman a flier fantasy option in most formats.

Disappears in Week 9
Hardman was not targeted in Sunday's game against the Vikings, but he did run the ball once for seven yards.
Analysis: Hardman was on the field offensively for just 11 snaps and 20 combined in the last two weeks, a signal that he's well behind Demarcus Robinson (24 snaps) in pecking order at this point. Hardman did contribute in the return game, going over 100 yards on kicks and adding 17 more on punts, but he also coughed the ball up once. At this point, the rookie doesn't look to be anything more than a return specialist with a few offensive plays mixed in.
