NFL Prop For Chiefs vs. Ravens
Mecole Hardman Over 35.5 Rec Yards
Sean Koerner: This is a buy-low opportunity on Mecole Hardman.
The third-year player has struggled with consistency in his young career, but a lot of it has had to do with his limited playing time. With Sammy Watkins out of the picture, it’s opened the door for Hardman to potentially become Mahomes' No. 3 target within the offense.
Hardman played on 69% of the snaps in Week 1 and, more importantly, ran a route on 83% of Mahomes’ dropbacks. It was the most playing time Hardman has seen since Week 11 of the 2019 season. He managed to haul in only three passes for 19 yards, but he could break loose for a couple big catches tonight.
I’m projecting this closer to 45.5 and would bet the over up to 39.5 yards.
