The backfield work was split between Isiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt, each carrying the ball seven times. In the first half, Hunt led the backfield 5 to 3 in carries.
Pacheco finished the game with seven carries for 44 yards (6.3 yards per carry), highlighted by a 34-yard rush. Hunt struggled with efficiency, totaling 15 yards on seven carries (2.1 YPC). Neither player found the end zone, with Hunt failing to convert his lone red zone rush inside the Raiders' 12-yard line.
Samaje Perine also contributed with a 25% snap share, catching his only target for 15 yards. Pacheco logged the fewest routes run among the running backs, finishing with a 37% snap share, just behind Hunt's 38%.
But outside Pacheco's one long run, the Chiefs couldn't run the ball much against the Raiders (especially when it was Hunt).
I'd like to think Pacheco will earn more touches as the season progresses, but I don't think Hunt/Perine will completely go away so they can keep Pacheco fresh for a postseason run.
That being said, you can't start Hunt with much confidence with Pacheco back.

Kareem Hunt struggles in win Friday

Kareem Hunt rushed the ball seven times for 15 yards and caught 2-of-4 targets for zero yards in Friday's 19-17 win over the Las Vegas Raiders.

Fantasy Impact

Hunt saw 11 opportunities over the course of the afternoon, but he wasn't able to capitalize on them and ended them game with just 15 yards overall. His workload decreased with Isiah Pacheco now back in the lineup for Kansas City, and he probably won't see enough work to be a consistent starter for the rest of the season.
