Who Should I Start? Mecole Hardman or CeeDee Lamb

The Green Bay Packers are releasing wide receiver Mecole Hardman on Tuesday, sources told Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. Despite the Packers dealing with multiple injuries to their receiving corps in training camp, the Packers will move on from Hardman, who was looking to secure a depth role with the Packers after spending the first six years of his NFL career with the Kansas City Chiefs. In his six NFL seasons, the 27-year-old pass-catcher has caught 178 of hi 258 targets for 2,302 yards and 16 touchdowns in 80 regular-season games (28 starts). Hardman also has plenty of special-teams experience and should be able to find work with another team for his versatility and speed during the 2025 season. Last year in 12 regular-season games (no starts) with KC, Hardman caught just 12 passe for 90 yards and no scores.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb caught seven of his 12 targets for 85 yards in Monday night's 27-17 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Lamb hasn't missed a beat since returning from his ankle injury in Week 7 against Washington, catching 19 of 30 targets for 260 yards and a touchdown in the past three games. It was a slow start in the first half for the 26-year-old superstar, but he was able to turn in a solid fantasy day in a game where Dallas' offense wasn't at its best. Lamb has been a target hog this season, drawing at least 10 targets in four games despite only playing six games. Only seven other wide receivers this season have as many or more games. Lamb and the Cowboys will get a chance to regroup after their Week 10 bye.
