On the Monday mailbag edition of the AP Laboratory, we were asked who would have more receiving yards in 2020: Mecole Hardman or Clyde Edwards-Helaire?
In his rookie year, Hardman amassed 538 receiving yards at an absurd 20.7 yards per reception. He showed a lot of ability as a big-play vertical stretch — making an impact on several games during the season with explosive play. The nature of his season was high variance — hence the high yards per reception. In fantasy football terms, Hardman was the definition of a boom-or-bust player on a week-to-week basis.
