With Hardman on the injured reserve and set to miss the next four games, in addition to JuJu Smith-Schuster dealing with a concussion and questionable for Week 11, Kadarius Toney, Justin Watson and Skyy Moore could all see their targets increased behind Marquez Valdes-Scantling.

Through eight games, the twenty-four-year-old has 25 receptions for 297 yards and four touchdowns on 34 targets this season. Hardman won't be able to return to game action until before the Chiefs' Week 15 game against the Houston Texans.
