Steps up in win Hardman recorded eight receptions on 11 targets for 103 yards in Saturday's 28-24 win over Denver. He added one rush for 10 yards.

Impact Tyreek Hill (heel) was hobbled for the majority of the game, so Hardman stepped into the big-play role in the Kansas City offense. His performance was highlighted by gains of 44 and 21 yards, with the former helping secure the win on the final drive of the contest. The end result was his first career game with over 100 receiving yards. Though aided by a 17th game, Hardman also recorded new bests in receptions and yards across his three seasons as a professional.

Big gain on lone target Hardman caught his only target for a 53-yard gain Sunday against the Bengals.

Impact Hardman saw just 18 offensive snaps in the contest, his third-lowest total of the 2021 season. He did make the most of his one look as a receiver, but his dwindling playing time doesn't bode well for his fantasy prospects moving forward. The third-year wideout hasn't really made the leap many were hoping for and doesn't appear to be headed in a direction toward doing that anytime soon.

Tallies second TD of 2021 Hardman racked up three catches for 31 yards and a touchdown on five targets Sunday versus the Steelers.

Impact After a couple of down weeks in his offensive involvement, Hardman has seen his usage spike again in the last couple of weeks, seeing a combined nine targets. He's also been looked to in the red zone three times in the last pair of weeks, which is a good sign after he went without a look in that area in the two games prior. Even so, Hardman remains off the fantasy radar in most leagues with just 50 catches for 537 yards and a pair of scores on the season.
