BALLER MOVE: Sit
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4/RB5
ANALYSIS: Newly signed Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt isn't a player you should consider starting in Week 4. Chiefs RB Carson Steele was somewhat disappointing in his first crack as the lead back for the Chiefs, but that doesn't mean he'll be completely kicked out of the backfield lineup.
Hunt will likely be rotated in as part of a three-man backfield. That's not great for their fantasy values, and the most likely scenario is that none end up being startable unless one has a high volume of catches or rushes for any touchdowns.
#Chiefs OC Matt Nagy on how the RB rotation of Carson Steele, Samaje Perine, and Kareem Hunt will shake out this week:

Hunt had just three yards per carry in 2023. His career is on a big downswing, and he hasn't been fantasy-relevant in years. If you start any Chiefs running back, it should be Steele, but none of them look particularly appetizing. Leave Hunt on the bench for now if you own him, and he's not particularly worth a pickup until he shows some juice.
