Who Should I Start? Mecole Hardman or Kaden Davis

Friday, January 16, 4:45 PM

The Buffalo Bills announced on Friday that they elevated wide receiver Mecole Hardman from the practice squad to the active 53-man roster for Saturday's Divisional Round game against the hosting Denver Broncos. The team also elevated running back Frank Gore Jr. from the practice squad. Hardman will give Buffalo extra receiver depth after Gabe Davis (knee) and Tyrell Shavers (knee) both tore their ACLs in last Sunday's win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in the Wild-Card round of the playoffs. Joshua Palmer (ankle) is also on Injured Reserve for the Bills, so their depth at the WR position behind Khalil Shakir will be tested in Denver. The 27-year-old Hardman is unlikely to have a big role on offense this weekend against a tough defense. In just two regular-season games in 2025, he had one target and no receptions.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Kaden Davis caught all three of his targets for 23 yards and two touchdowns in a 30-10 win over the Carolina Panthers in preseason action on Friday. Davis made a splash in the win, catching both of Shedeur Sanders' touchdown passes in the contest. The second-year wideout played sparingly for the Browns on special teams in 2024 but is looking to carve out a larger role as a pass-catcher heading into his sophomore season. He will look to stay hot in Cleveland's second preseason game, which will be next Saturday against the Philadelphia Eagles.
