Mecole Hardman, Wide Receiver, Chiefs

First up, the Chiefs are going to rely on a big season from their second-year wide receiver in Mecole Hardman.

Tyreek Hill is one of the top superstars at the receiver position and the Chiefs also have Sammy Watkins, but Hardman could very well end up being the No. 2 wideout in Kansas City.

Against the Texans, the Chiefs are going to have to utilize Hardman quite a bit. Houston will throw everything they have defensively at slowing down the Mahomes-Hill connection. That should leave Hardman open to have a big performance.

With his speed and ability to make plays in the open field, Hardman is a major X-Factor. Not only will he be an X-Factor this week, he will be one for the rest of the season.
