Who Should I Start? Breshad Perriman or Mecole Hardman

The Indianapolis Colts released veteran wide receiver Breshad Perriman on Monday, according to a source. Perriman was trying to find a new home in Indianapolis this year after catching 20 of his 37 targets for 277 yards and two touchdowns in 17 games (three starts) the last two years with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 29-year-old former first-rounder of the Baltimore Ravens in 2015 will now look to latch on with another team before the start of the 2023 regular season. In his seven NFL seasons with the Ravens, Browns, Buccaneers and Jets, Perriman has caught 145 passes for 2,343 yards and 16 touchdowns in 80 games (25 starts).

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman Jr. played the role of hero for his team in Super Bowl LVIII, reeling in the game-winning touchdown from three yards out to defeat the San Francisco 49ers 25-22. Hardman pulled in each of his three targets for 57 yards in Sunday's big game, also coming down with a 52-yard bomb to get the Chiefs into a goal-to-go during the second quarter. After playing just one snap in the AFC Championship win over the Baltimore Ravens, the 25-year-old stepped up as a deep threat when it mattered most for a Chiefs offense desperate for playmaking down the field all year long. Though he authored quite a feel-good story going from a New York Jets castoff to catching a championship-winning TD, Hardman's Super Bowl heroics are unlikely to make him worth rostering in the majority of 2024 fantasy drafts. Whether it's back with K.C. or another squad, the former Pro Bowl kick returner should find a home next season.
