Kareem Hunt Week 6 Outlook - Lions at Chiefs

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 9th 2025, 1:35pm EDT

Kareem Hunt has been and continues to be a touchdown-dependent flex play. He is averaging only 9.8 touches and 41.6 total yards, but he has been the Chiefs' preferred red zone back. Hunt has ten red zone rushing attempts while Isiah Pacheco has only four. Hunt has been an inefficient runner with only a 9% missed tackle rate and 2.23 yards after contact per attempt. He'll have to live off his touchdown equity again this week. The Lions have allowed the seventh-lowest explosive run rate and rushing yards per game, and the sixth-lowest missed tackle rate and yards after contact per attempt. If Hunt doesn't score this week, you'll likely be sad that you played him.
