Kareem Hunt

Andy Reid always puts out a quality running game, and while Spencer Ware is the current favorite to see the majority of the carries, it is worth noting that he was less than mediocre after his concussions last season and could be on a short leash. Should he continue to perform under expecatations, Hunt would step into a terrific scheme that would make him startable every single week.

Kareem Hunt inks rookie deal

The Kansas City Chiefs and running back Kareem Hunt agreed to terms on a four-year deal Monday.

Fantasy Impact

Hunt, Kansas City's third-round pick in April's draft, signed his rookie deal with the team Monday. Although the 21-year-old running back is rumored to challenge Spencer Ware for the starting job this offseason, the latter is still expected to emerge on top. However, that doesn't mean Ware's job is safe. Hunt is not only expected to open the 2017 season as Ware's handcuff, but he could also surpass the veteran in touches as the year progresses. For fantasy football purposes, Hunt should be targeted behind Ware but ahead of Charcandrick West in fantasy drafts. Hunt could be a sleeper rookie that pays off in a big way with patience, especially in Dynasty formats.
