Elite efficiency before hamstring injury; WR1 upside in Robinson's two-WR sets.
Mecole HardmanWRBUF
Mecole Hardman posted elite early-season efficiency with 2.71 yards per route run, NFL-leading 145.3 pass rating when targeted, and top-10 catchable target rate before hamstring injury in week 6 caused strength/burst loss and coverage struggles. Expected fantasy points remained stable (14.2 to 13.9 PPG). With new play-caller Zack Robinson running two-wide receiver sets at the seventh-lowest rate in the NFL (versus previous offense's league-high three-wide receiver rate), Hardman projects to be deadly in those sets where he averaged 0.33 targets per route run. At current ADP of WR15-16, if he maintains 80% of his early-season pace at full health, he profiles as a surefire WR1 in 2026.
