Who Should I Start? Mecole Hardman or Davion Davis

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said on Wednesday that wide receiver Mecole Hardman (knee) will remain on Injured Reserve, which means he won't play again this season, even if the Chiefs beat the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship this Sunday to advance to a third straight Super Bowl appearance. The Chiefs opened Hardman's 21-day practice window to return from IR before the Week 18 regular-season finale against the Denver Broncos, but the team never felt comfortable putting him out there on game day. The 26-year-old will now begin his offseason early and make sure that his knee is fully ready for the start of the 2025 regular season this fall. Hardman was mostly valuable to the Chiefs this year before his knee injury as a return man on special teams, as he caught only 12 of 14 targets for 90 yards and no touchdowns in 12 games played in 2024.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Davion Davis made his mark in the team's 18-17 come-from-behind victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Saturday. With eight minutes remaining in the 3rd quarter, quarterback David Blough heaved a pass downfield that was caught by Davis, helping start the comeback win. Unfortunately, other than the TD, Davis was relatively quiet on the day. He secured three catches on seven targets for 43 yards. The 2nd year pro is on the outside looking in when it comes to making the Cardinal's 53-man roster, but he could be worth monitoring in case an injury occurs.
