Kareem Hunt - Week 9 Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Fantasy Football Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues

POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2

ANALYSIS:  Kareem Hunt has established himself as a strong RB2 option this week as the Chiefs face off against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers who is currently allowing the fifth most fantasy points to opposing running backs.

Over the last three weeks, he has consistently seen more than 20 carries per game, showcasing his growing role in the Chiefs' offense. This volume is critical for fantasy managers, as Hunt’s ability to handle a significant workload not only increases his rushing yards but also provides ample opportunities to find the end zone.

In fact, he has scored four total touchdowns during this span, underscoring his effectiveness in both the ground game and in short-yardage situations.

As the Chiefs gear up to take on the Buccaneers, Hunt's status as a central figure in their offensive scheme is unlikely to change. The Buccaneers’ defense has shown vulnerability against the run, which could allow Hunt to exploit gaps and accumulate yardage efficiently.

Given his current form and the trust the coaching staff has placed in him, Hunt is poised to continue his upward trajectory.

With a favorable matchup and the potential for multiple touches near the red zone, he stands as a solid RB2 who could deliver substantial fantasy points this week, further solidifying his role as a key asset in the Chiefs’ offense.4
