Kareem Hunt To Share Touches Against Cowboys In Week 13

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt will have to share the backfield with Isiah Pacheco as he returns from his knee injury to face the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day in Week 13. Hunt feasted without Pacheco out of the lineup, handling 30 carries for 104 yards and a touchdown in last week's win over the Indianapolis Colts. Hunt also caught three passes for 26 yards in Week 12. The veteran back was asked to do it all, and he found a ton of success, but it appears his ceiling will be lowered with Pacheco entering the fold. That said, Hunt could still be the lead back on Thanksgiving if the Chiefs decide to ease Pacheco back into action. Hunt has been the team's preferred goal-line and third-down back this season, even with Pachecho healthy, so fantasy managers should expect that role to continue. Hunt will try to continue his run of success this week against the Cowboys, who have allowed the 12th-most fantasy points to opposing running backs this season. The addition of DT Quinnen Williams to the Dallas defense should make it a bit more difficult to rush, but Hunt's involvement in the passing game could help offset that. Hunt is ranked RB32 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him an RB3/Flex option against the Cowboys in Week 13.

Kareem Hunt to Maintain Lead Role in Kansas City Backfield Going Forward?

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt was an absolute workhorse in Week 12, recording 30 carries for 104 yards and a touchdown and three catches for 26 yards in his team's overtime win over the Indianapolis Colts. With Isiah Pacheco (knee) sidelined by a knee injury, the Chiefs have leaned on Hunt as their feature back in recent weeks. Pacheco has a chance to return for Kansas City's Week 13 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day. However, even when Pacheco returns, Hunt could maintain his status as the lead back in Kansas City. While Hunt hasn't been particularly efficient this season (3.9 yards per carry), he's been a reliable goal-line presence (seven rushing touchdowns). In any fantasy league where Hunt remains available on the waiver wire, he should be a priority target for fantasy managers heading into Week 13.

Kareem Hunt Totals 33 Touches in Productive Outing Sunday

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt had 33 carries for 104 rushing yards and one touchdown during Sunday's Week 12 win over the Indianapolis Colts. He also caught all three of his targets for an additional 26 receiving yards. The veteran running back hadn't handled more than 13 carries or 14 touches in a single game this season, so it was a bit surprising to see him finish with more than double both of those totals. The increased volume led to inflated counting stats, so while his 3.5 yards per carry aren't very intriguing, he still racked up enough yardage to produce as a top-12 running back in fantasy football this week. Isiah Pacheco (knee) could return next week and complicate the backfield dynamic, but Hunt should still be able to carve out a role for himself with standalone value as an RB3/flex.

Kareem Hunt Maintains Control of Top Backfield Role for Week 12

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt will earn another start after Isiah Pacheco (knee) was ruled out for Sunday's Week 12 game against the Indianapolis Colts. Pacheco is on track to miss his third consecutive game. In each of his two previous absences, Hunt took over as the primary running back, logging at least a 79% snap share on both occasions. He's averaging 12 carries, 54 rushing yards, one reception, 4.5 receiving yards, and one touchdown in games he's started with Pacheco sidelined. The veteran running back should handle around 10-15 touches once again this Sunday against the Colts. Indianapolis has been effective against the run, allowing the seventh-fewest rushing yards and 10th-fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs in 2025. Despite the tougher matchup, Hunt's role and volume have vaulted him up to the RB25 spot in this week's RotoBaller fantasy rankings.

Kareem Hunt Will Dominate Touches Against Colts In Week 12

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt will face the Indianapolis Colts in Week 12. Hunt handled 13 carries for 59 yards and a touchdown, along with one catch for three yards. His 59 rushing yards were a season-high, and his 13 carries tied his season-high. With Isiah Pacheco out in Week 11, Hunt was the only back to get any rushing work. Rookie Brashard Smith was relatively uninvolved in the contest, only catching two passes for eight yards. With Pacheco ruled out again for Week 12, Hunt should dominate touches against Indianapolis. The Colts defense has been an average matchup for fantasy running backs this season, but the scoring potential makes Hunt an interesting play. The Colts offense is the highest-scoring in the league, and this game has a nearly 50-point projected total, meaning that Hunt could visit the end zone once or twice. Hunt should be viewed as a viable RB2 with upside in Week 12.

Kareem Hunt Records Third Straight Game with Rushing Touchdown in Week 11

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt scored a rushing touchdown for the third consecutive game in his team's 22-19 Week 11 loss to the Denver Broncos. The 30-year-old finished the game with 13 carries for 59 yards and one score. With Isiah Pacheco (knee) sidelined by a knee injury, Hunt has taken over as Kansas City's lead rusher in the team's last two games. While he's not an explosive player at this point in his career, Hunt has six rushing touchdowns on the season and has proven to be an effective goal-line rusher. Pacheco could return in Week 12 against the Indianapolis Colts, which would cause Hunt to lose a few touches. However, Hunt seems likely to retain his goal-line role even when Pacheco gets back on the field. In leagues where Hunt remains available, he could be worth targeting on the waiver wire as a touchdown-dependent flex option for fantasy managers.

Kareem Hunt Set To Start Against The Broncos In Week 11

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt will take on the Denver Broncos in Week 11. Hunt is set to handle the lion's share of the carries out of the backfield with Isiah Pacheco ruled out for Sunday's matchup. Hunt had been splitting the work with Pacheco for much of the season, but Pacheco had begun earning a larger role before going down with a knee injury. Now Hunt will assume a larger workload after being successful in his opportunities at the goal-line and in short-yardage situations. Despite playing in all nine games for the Chiefs this season, Hunt's 294 rushing yards rank 43rd among rushers this season. That low yardage total could be concerning if he didn't score so much, but Hunt ranks 11th in rushing touchdowns with five this year. The veteran back has a great chance to find the endzone every week, but he will have to contend with the stout Denver defense this week. The Broncos defense has allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs this season. Given his low yardage totals, starting Hunt this week would be betting on him to score a touchdown against one of the best defenses in the league. Hunt is ranked RB33 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, putting him at the backend of RB3 range this week.

Kareem Hunt Is a Touchdown-Reliant Addition from the Waiver Wire

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt had a solid Week 9 with 11 carries for 49 rushing yards and a touchdown against the Bills. He picked up more work with Isiah Pacheco (knee) on the sidelines, but it is possible that Pacheco will return in Week 11 against the Broncos. Hunt has six touchdowns on the season and four scores in the last five weeks. The Broncos have been a tough matchup for running backs this season, but Hunt has touchdown-dependent upside if you are looking for running back help or are desperate for a flex play this week.

Kareem Hunt Handily Leads Chiefs' Ground Game in Teammate's Absence

With backfield mate Isiah Pacheco (knee) inactive for Week 9's 28-21 loss to the Buffalo Bills, Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt led the team's ground game. The veteran tied a season-high with 49 rushing yards on 11 totes, adding six yards on 1-of-2 receiving. Hunt punched in another short touchdown in this one, giving him three across his last two appearances and six on the season as a whole. While his efficiency hasn't been off the charts, the Toledo product has rushed for at least 4.4 yards per clip in four of his previous five games. Furthermore, he's the most likely option on his team aside from quarterback Patrick Mahomes to find pay dirt on the ground. Pacheco is expected to return following Kansas City's Week 10 bye. However, Hunt projects to lead the backfield again if he doesn't. It will be a situation to keep tabs on over the coming week.

Kareem Hunt, Brashard Smith To Split Carries Sunday

The Kansas City Chiefs intend to split carries between running backs Kareem Hunt and Brashard Smith on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills, according to a report from Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Kansas City will be without Isiah Pacheco (knee) this week, and it looks as if the team will employ a committee approach in his absence. Hunt has had consistent touchdown potential for the Chiefs, scoring four times in the past six games, but he has yet to play half the team's snaps in a game this season. Smith had a nice game in the Week 7 blowout of Las Vegas, catching five passes for 42 yards to go with 39 yards rushing, but hasn't been super involved week to week. A split isn't ideal for managers, but both backs still could be viable in lineups this week.
