Who Should I Start? Mecole Hardman or Stanley Morgan Jr.

According to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman (knee) was placed on Injured Reserve. The 26-year-old sustained this knee injury during Friday's practice and will now miss at least the next four contests. Hardman has been deployed as a depth receiver this year, as he has seen most of his work on special teams while operating as the top return man. After not catching a single pass during the first four games of the season, Hardman has caught 12 of his 14 targets since Week 5 for 90 total yards. He has also added 62 yards and a score on the ground. In fantasy formats that score return yards, managers should expect rookie Xavier Worthy to potentially return kicks (he already returns punts) or rookie Carson Steele, who is currently listed as the No. 2 return man.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receivers Stanley Morgan and Shedrick Jackson have been elevated to the active roster ahead of their Week 10 game against the Houston Texans. The Bengals have already ruled out Tee Higgins (hamstring) but Ja'Marr Chase (back) is also questionable, so this move is interesting. Chase is slated to test out his ailing back during pre-game warmups, making him a game-time decision, so the elevations of Morgan and Jackson are a precaution. Either way, Tyler Boyd and Trenton Irwin should be heavily involved in the Bengals' passing attack against Houston. Fantasy managers should monitor Chase's status closely before kickoff on Sunday morning.
