Fantasy Football News & Rumors
Check out the latest news and notes around the NFL.
Kareem Hunt expected to sign with Chiefs
Free-agent running back Kareem Hunt is expected to sign with the Kansas City Chiefs according to Jordan Schultz.
Fantasy Impact
Hunt re-joins his former team after completing a scheduled workout Tuesday. With Isiah Pacheco (fibula) out six-to-eight weeks, fantasy managers should expect the veteran running back to have some type of role as part of the Kansas City backfield, rostering Hunt as a bench stash until there is more clarity moving forward.

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said he expects to see an uptick in Roman Wilson‘s work this week.
Fantasy Impact
Tomlin added that he was pleased with the progress Wilson made last week in practice. Wilson went down with an ankle injury at the end of July in training camp. He remains without a clear timetable to return, but is progressing in the right direction.

Royce Freeman signing with Browns
Royce Freeman is signing with the Cleveland Browns according to Jeremy Fowler.
Fantasy Impact
Freeman was a free agent after being released by the Dallas Cowboys in August, but now joins a Cleveland backfield full of questions with Nick Chubb still recovering from a serious knee injury. The veteran running back will need to carve out a sizeable role before fantasy managers should consider rostering Freeman.
