That's only the insurance part. That's not even counting the fact that tyreek is going to line up against a borderline WR3 if everyone's healthy. Someone needs to step up and take the WR2 role, not just be a gadget or bailout option.

but it IS the point you're making, whether you realize it or not.
The fact is, Hardman is struggling at WR2.
Ok.
If Hill goes down, and Hardman takes THAT spot, then a defense still has to behave as if nothing has changed. Hardman is not as good as Hill, but he's practically speaking just as fast. He's just as much a threat to blow by your corner and go for 6.
Hardman has decent WR3 numbers, and I expect he'll put up more this year than last.
He'll split with Pringle-who is not flashy but very dependable, and DRob, who's frustrating but also has good chemistry with Mahomes. Depending on the play, we'll see a mix of that. And that will be more than fine with the improved line and running game.
