Now that free agency, the NFL Draft, and the schedule release have all passed, we have our initial layout in place in team depth charts and strength of schedule. With that, we want to take a look at some players across the fantasy landscape that are either polarizing, over or undervalued, or just interesting topics of discussion and walk through some of the pros and cons of where those players are regarded in fantasy circles.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Last week, we explored players such as <\/span>Kenyan Drake<\/b><\/a>, <\/b>Austin Ekeler<\/b><\/a>, <\/span>Marquise Brown<\/b><\/a>, and <\/span>Tyler Higbee<\/b><\/a>. Today, we are jumping into <\/span>Mecole Hardman.<\/b><\/p>\n

Using the Dynasty ADP app available at <\/span>RotoViz<\/span><\/a>, Hardman has made roughly a 30-pick jump in startup market value over where he entered the 2019 season. Among his position, he has jumped only 12 spots, which is more than a reasonable bump given his rookie campaign.<\/span><\/p>\n

After Kansas City traded up in the second round a year ago to select Hardman, the rookie wideout corralled 26-of-41 targets for 538 yards and six touchdowns. He also was third in the NFL in kickoff return yards and fifth in average per kickoff return (26.1 yards) with a touchdown.<\/span><\/p>\n

While Hardman\u2019s overall line is modest, he did excel in creating splash plays on his opportunities, flashing the upside he possesses per touch. Out of all 214 players in the NFL with 25 or more targets in 2019, here is where Hardman ranked in a number of explosive play metrics.<\/span><\/p>\n
