Kareem Hunt Week 10 Outlook - Broncos at Chiefs

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Nov 7th 2024, 1:05pm EST

Since assuming the starting role in Week 5, Hunt has been the RB7 in fantasy, averaging 25.6 touches and 95.1 total yards per game. Hunt ranks eighth in opportunity share and red zone touches while sitting at 18th in carries while he's just played in five games this season. He has been a volume monster for Kansas City, and his touches have covered up his inefficiency. Among 47 qualifying backs, Hunt ranks 42nd in missed tackles forced per attempt and 40th in yards after contact per attempt. Despite getting destroyed by Derrick Henry, Denver's run defense remains a strong unit, allowing the 13th-lowest explosive run rate, the ninth-fewest rushing yards per game, and the sixth-lowest yards per carry to zone runs (Hunt 53.2% zone).
