Quick answer
WatchHardman finished WR238 in 2025. He scored about 139% less than his touches said he should. Production trend is soft: WR126 → WR238 over the last two seasons. Played a short 2025 (2 games) — health is the nearer question than talent. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
