Who Should I Start? Mecole Hardman or Andy Isabella

Monday, February 12, 1:28 AM

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.

The Buffalo Bills re-signed wide receiver Andy Isabella to their practice squad on Wednesday, according to a league source. Isabella was cut on Tuesday with the team getting their roster down to 53 players, but he will return the very next day to serve as extra receiver depth in Buffalo for the start of the 2023 regular season. The former second-round pick of the Arizona Cardinals in 2019 out of Massachusetts spent time with both the Cardinals and Baltimore Ravens last year, catching only two passes for 21 yards in five games (zero starts). In his four NFL seasons, Isabella has 33 receptions on 54 targets for 447 yards and three touchdowns in 41 games (three starts).
