Kansas City Chiefs RB Kareem Hunt rushed 13 times for 45 yards in Week 16 against the Cleveland Browns, while adding a 4-yard reception on two targets.
Huddle Up: Hunt split the backfield carries with Isiah Pacheco on a rainy day in Cleveland against his former team, averaging 3.5 yards per carry to just 2.5 yards per attempt for Pacheco. It's worth keeping an eye on heading into Week 16 against the Houston Texans on Saturday afternoon.

Kansas City Chiefs RB Kareem Hunt ran five times for 16 yards and caught his only target for 13 yards in Week 14 versus the Los Angeles Chargers.
Huddle Up: While the Chiefs were careful about putting too much work on Isiah Pacheco's plate this week, the latter's 16-6 edge in touches is a clear indication of how the team intends to split the backfield workload moving forward. Hunt can probably be dropped in most leagues at this point unless they want to stash him as a handcuff to Pacheco.

Kansas City Chiefs RB Kareem Hunt rushed for 15 yards on seven carries against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 13.
Huddle Up: Hunt received a smaller role with Isiah Pacheco back in the lineup and was not able to find much success in the running game. He may see limited work moving forward with Pacheco playing and may not be a strong fantasy option.

Kansas City Chiefs RB Kareem Hunt (toe) practiced in full all week and was removed from the injury report for Week 13 versus the Las Vegas Raiders.
Huddle Up: With Isiah Pacheco back from IR, Hunt's fantasy usefulness is likely to come to an end either this week or next week. Fantasy managers should still expect him to remain somewhat involved, but the volume that made him an easy plug-and-play RB2 over the last two months is about to dry up. There is a distinct possibility he will be a little more than a handcuff to Pacheco when the fantasy playoffs begin in a couple of weeks.

Kansas City Chiefs PK Spencer Shrader (hamstring) did not practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 13 versus the Las Vegas Raiders. LB Cam Jones (illness) was upgraded to a full practice on Thursday, Nov. 28, but is listed as questionable. CB Chamarri Conner (ankle), RB Kareem Hunt (toe), Charles Omenihu (knee), Isiah Pacheco (ankle), CB Christian Roland-Wallace (ankle), WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (hip), OT Jawaan Taylor (ankle, knee) and LB Leo Chenal (personal) practiced in full on Thursday and no longer appear on the injury report.

Kansas City Chiefs RB Kareem Hunt (toe) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Nov. 27.
Huddle Up: Hunt probably will continue to be the starting running back for the time being but will lose some touches to Isiah Pacheco. He can still be at least a flex option in all fantasy leagues.

Kansas City Chiefs RB Kareem Hunt (toe) was a full participant at practice Tuesday, Nov. 25.
Huddle Up: Hunt seems to be on track to play Friday afternoon and is likely to split time with Isiah Pacheco (ankle), who is set to make his return from the Reserve/Injured list. With Pacheco's return, Hunt is likely best viewed as a high-end RB3 option.

Kansas City Chiefs RBs Isiah Pacheco (knee) and RB Kareem Hunt are expected to split most of the backfield work in Week 13 against the Las Vegas Raiders, according to offensive coordinator Matt Nagy. Per Nagy, the workload will be determined during the game and based on the situation.
Huddle Up: Pacheco has not played since Week 2, so it only makes sense he would share some work with Hunt (and likely Samaje Perine). However, Pacheco should be expected to assume more of the work as the weeks go on since Hunt has been anything but efficient since taking over the backfield in Week 4. Assuming Pacheco is fully healthy, he should be considered a strong RB2 option moving forward.

Kansas City Chiefs RB Kareem Hunt rushed 16 times for 68 yards in Week 12 against the Carolina Panthers, while adding three receptions for 19 yards on four targets.
Huddle Up: Hunt did OK in this game, but expectations were likely a little higher against a Carolina defense which has been very giving to opposing running backs this season. He remains more of a low-end RB2 or flex fantasy option heading into Week 13 on Black Friday against the Las Vegas Raiders.
Posted: 11/22/2024 8:12 pm GMT
Kansas City Chiefs RB Kareem Hunt (knee) practiced in full on Friday, Nov. 22, and was removed from the Week 12 injury report.
Huddle Up: With Isiah Pacheco (ankle, IR) ruled out again this week, Hunt will have at least one more game with a heavy workload. He's an RB1 in a matchup against the Carolina Panthers' putrid defense.
