Who Should I Start? Mecole Hardman or Kameron Johnson

Sunday, November 16, 3:59 PM

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Mecole Hardman (calf) exited during the third quarter of Sunday's Week 11 contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He finishes the game with just one target and zero catches on offense, plus a 61-yard kick return on special teams. However, he also had a zero-yard punt return that resulted in a lost fumble; this is the play where Hardman suffered his injury. Ray Davis and Curtis Samuel will likely handle return duties in his absence.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Kameron Johnson has failed to capitalize on new opportunities with his teammates injured. The second-year receiver has just four catches in 2025, and all four of them came in one game. Outside of that anomalous contest, he has two targets and zero receptions. Johnson played just nine percent of the snaps last Sunday against Buffalo, primarily contributing on special teams. He has 16 kick returns for 394 yards this season, plus 17 punt returns for an additional 219 yards. It has been a bit surprising to see Johnson remain in a depth role despite injuries to his teammates. Chris Godwin (leg), Mike Evans (collarbone), and Jalen McMillan (neck) have all missed significant time, but it hasn't created much of an increase in opportunities for Johnson. Godwin could return this week against the Los Angeles Rams, which would figure to knock down Johnson's involvement even further. He can be dropped in most fantasy leagues.
