FANTASY PLAYS: Players to add include Mattison, Fulgham

FANTASY PLAYS: Players to add for Week 6 include running back Alexander Mattison of Minnesota and wide receivers Chase Claypool of Pittsburgh and Travis Fulgham of Philadelphia

Larger role on tap Hardman is expected to handle more snaps while Sammy Watkins (hamstring) is unavailable, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Hardman figures to be one of the primary beneficiaries of Watkins being sidelined for what is expected to be at least a couple of weeks due to the issue. He compiled 95 all-purpose yards -- 50 receiving and 45 on kickoff returns -- during Sunday's tilt, but was targeted a measly three times despite playing a season-high 69 percent of the offensive snaps (50 total). Look for that number to receive another bump up while Watkins is out, and Hardman could have an opportunity to carve out a larger role in the future if he can take advantage of the extended run.

Records 95 all-purpose yards Hardman brought in two of three targets for 50 yards and returned two kickoffs for 45 yards in the Chiefs' 40-32 loss to the Raiders on Sunday.

Impact Hardman recorded a 37-yard reception for the majority of his production from scrimmage, and he failed to score a touchdown for the first time in three games. However, fellow wideout Sammy Watkins left Sunday's game with a hamstring injury, and if his absence extends into a Week 6 matchup against the Bills, Hardman could line up for additional opportunities in the passing game in that contest.

Monday's Sports in Brief

OCTOBER 6, 2020 • Associated Press

Scores in second straight Hardman caught all four of his targets for 27 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 26-10 win over the Patriots.

Impact Hardman's key contribution came on a six-yard shovel pass that he took for a touchdown midway through the fourth quarter. That play not only extended Kansas City's lead at a critical juncture, but it also gave Hardman a touchdown in consecutive outings. Given all the mouths to feed in the Chiefs' high-flying offense, it's tough to project Hardman's weekly production, but the jet-heeled wideout can certainly make impact plays when called upon, as seen on Monday's short score.

Long touchdown versus Ravens Hardman caught four of six targets for 81 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 34-20 win over the Ravens.

Impact Hardman's performance was highlighted by his 49-yard score prior to halftime. On that play, his sensational speed was on full display, giving quarterback Patrick Mahomes a free target downfield following a well-executed double-move. Through three games, Hardman has elevated his numbers each week, and although he's still lacking consistency outside of devastating deep shots like Monday's score, the second-year pro is nonetheless trending in the right direction ahead of Week 4's game versus the Patriots.

Adds snaps in Week 2 Hardman reeled in two of his three targets for 30 yards in Sunday's game versus the Chargers.

Impact Hardman's final line didn't really inspire a ton of confidence, and his increased playing time came as a result of Sammy Watkins (head) leaving the game. His snap percentage increased from 29 percent to 65 percent in Week 2, hinting that Hardman could have a big workload on tap if Watkins misses time beyond Sunday's tilt.

Disappointing opener Hardman compiled just one catch for six yards on his only target in Thursday's season opener versus Houston.

Impact Hardman was pegged as a prime candidate for a breakout season in 2020, but his effort in the opener seems to suggest he hasn't even done enough to warrant consistent reps. He saw just 20 offensive snaps on the night, finishing not only behind Tyreek Hill (59) and Sammy Watkins (55) but also with 13 fewer than Demarcus Robinson. It's still too early to write off Hardman, but it's certainly a disappointing start to 2020.
