BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 38% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Fantasy managers in need of running back help should strongly consider picking up Kareem Hunt, especially after his solid debut with the Kansas City Chiefs.
In his first game back with the team, Hunt played 45% of the snaps, yet led the team in rushing attempts with 14 carries for 69 yards while adding two receptions on three targets.
His immediate workload demonstrates the Chiefs' trust in him to contribute right away, and his dual-threat ability as both a runner and pass-catcher makes him a valuable asset, particularly in PPR leagues.
With Kansas City often utilizing their backs in the passing game, Hunt’s versatility provides a consistent weekly floor.

Additionally, Hunt’s experience and familiarity with the Chiefs' offensive system give him a clear path to maintain a significant role moving forward.
Despite sharing snaps, Hunt’s lead in rushing attempts highlights his potential to be a key part of the offense, whether complementing Carson Steele and Samaje Perine or taking on a larger role as the season progresses.
For fantasy managers looking for running back depth or a potential Flex option, Hunt offers both short-term stability and long-term upside in one of the league's most potent offenses.
