Kareem Hunt Week 8 Outlook - Chiefs at Raiders

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 24th 2024, 1:05pm EDT

Since taking over as Kansas City's clear starting tailback over the last two games, Hunt has played at least 63% of the snaps weekly with weekly fantasy finishes as RB5 and RB11. He has averaged 26 touches and 100 total yards per game. He hasn't broken off an explosive run yet while posting a 16% missed tackle rate and 2.35 yards after contact per attempt. Nothing in that tackle-breaking profile is great or impressive, but Hunt is getting all the work and will remain a strong fantasy option until that changes (if it does). Las Vegas has allowed the seventh-highest explosive run rate and yards after contact per attempt and the tenth-most rushing yards per game. Hunt should crush again this week.
