Fantasy Football Player Notes

Hunt took over as the team's leadback last week. He played 45% of the snaps with 16 touches and 85 total yards. Hunt led the way with a 58.3% snap share on rushing plays and split the red zone snaps with Perine (50% for each player). He conceded the passing game work to Perine with only a 32.4% passing down snapshare. Hunt looked good in his first game back, with a 21% missed tackle rate and 2.71 yards after contact per attempt. We'll see if he can maintain that level of tackle-breaking as the volume piles up. Hunt has a decent matchup this week against the Saints, who have allowed the 14th-highest explosive run rate and missed tackle rate while also surrendering the fourth-highest yards before contact per attempt. The Chiefs' offensive line has done a decent job of opening up room for the backs, ranking 14th-best in yards before contact per attempt.
