Who Should I Start? Mecole Hardman or David Sills V

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman had one catch for 17 yards, two carries for 38 yards, and a touchdown in the 28-18 win against the San Francisco 49ers. Hardman did not command many targets, but he capitalized on his opportunities with a score on the ground. With fellow wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster sidelined with a hamstring injury in this contest, Hardman had more opportunities to get involved. This matchup marked his second game back from injury, and Hardman's role will likely increase as the season goes on and he gets healthier. Hardman is familiar with Mahomes and the offense, so it shouldn't be long before we see more involvement from him. The Chiefs will take on the Raiders in Week 8. The Raiders are not a cakewalk matchup for wide receivers since they rank ninth in fantasy points allowed, but Kansas City gets their playmakers involved in unique ways, so Hardman could see some volume. Despite scoring in this week's contest, Hardman's role in the offense is undetermined, and he should be viewed as a desperation flex play until we get more information about his usage.

New York Giants wide receiver David Sills V led the team in receiving in a loss to the New York Jets in the team's preseason finale on Saturday. He finished with a stat line of six catches for 81 yards and a touchdown. The score came with just 47 seconds remaining in the contest when a win was essentially out of reach. All of his production came with third-string quarterback Tommy Devito under center. The ex-West Virginia Mountaineer is unlikely to make the final roster and should not be drafted in fantasy football.
