Kareem Hunt

Kareem Hunt is a volume-based RB2 this week. Since Week 9, he has had a 70.5% snap rate while averaging 17.2 touches and 71.4 total yards. Hunt has only a 1.4% explosive run rate, an 11% missed tackle rate, and 2.17 yards after contact per attempt, but that hasn't stopped Kansas City from running him out there as their lead back weekly. I don't understand it, but at Week 15, I don't expect it to change. The Chargers' run defense continues to be a weak point of their defense. Since Week 10, the Bolts have allowed the 13th-highest rushing success rate, the second-highest missed tackle rate, the ninth-most yards before contact per attempt, and ranked 16th in stuff rate.

Kareem Hunt ran 12 times for 30 yards and a touchdown and failed to catch his only target in the Chiefs 20-10 loss to the Texans.

Fantasy Impact

Hunt’s fantasy day was saved by the touchdown as he was unable to get much else going on the ground. He’s a low-end RB3 option for fantasy as the Chiefs primary runner.
