Kansas City Chiefs: 5 star performances vs Ravens in week 3
4. Mecole Hardman
After not doing much in his first two games of the season, Mecole Hardman had himself a game in Baltimore. The 2019 second round pick hauled in four receptions for 81 yards and scored his first touchdown of the season.
Hardman had a big game against the Ravens last year too and he showed that he can be one of their worst nightmares once again. That 49-yard touchdown grab he had from Patrick Mahomes was one hell of a throw and catch and it was good to see Hardman get more involved in the offense.
3. Eric Fisher
Who would have thought that Eric Fisher would have more fantasy football points this week than the majority of the Ravens offense? That was exactly the case, as Fisher was able to score the first touchdown of his career and interestingly enough, was the first number one overall pick to score a touchdown since Keyshawn Johnson.
Not only did Fisher do what was asked of him in the end zone, but he and the rest of his offensive line kept Mahomes upright and didn’t allow a single sack. That’s hard to do against any team, but it’s particularly difficult against a defensive line that has as much talent as the Ravens.
2. Chris Jones
The Chiefs defense was disrespected a lot heading into this one and Chris Jones made sure those doubters ate their words. He also showed why the Chiefs wanted to give him a big pay day during the offseason, totaling five tackles, two sacks, two quarterback hits, and a forced fumble that Niemann recovered.
Jones hasn’t been mentioned on either of these “star performances” posts yet, but that’s mostly because we all expect him to play well every week. Well, when he plays this well, I have no excuse not to include him, so here he is.
