After spending most of his career with the Kansas City Chiefs, former 2nd round pick Mecole Hardman signed a 1-year deal with the Green Bay Packers.

Hardman set a career low with 90 receiving yards in 2024. He hasn’t averaged above 3 fantasy ppg over the last two seasons. However, this was a depth move for the Packers who were desperate for speed on the outside. Christian Watson tore his ACL late in the 2024 season, and the Packers are doing their due diligence to try and replace Watson’s role as a speedy deep-threat with Hardman’s ability. You can’t teach speed, and Hardman’s 98th percentile 40-yard dash indicates elite speed.

Hardman is now clearly on the late-round bestball flyer radar, as he’s scored at least 12 fantasy points in 7 of his last 30 games.
