Kareem Hunt

Last week, even with Isaiah Pacheco back, Hunt retained his lead back role with a 63.6% snap rate, 15 touches, and 70 total yards. He played 75% of the team's red zone snaps. I expect Hunt to keep this role moving forward. Among 55 qualifying backs, Hunt ranks 42nd in missed tackle rate and 27th in yards after contact per attempt. Hunt is best viewed as a volume-fueled flex play this week. Since Week 9, Houston has allowed the fifth-fewest rushing yards per game, the lowest missed tackle rate, the sixth-lowest rushing success rate, and the tenth-fewest yards after contact per attempt.

Kareem Hunt carried the ball 14 times for 58 yards while also catching one of his two targets for 22 yards in the Chiefs' 31-28 Week 13 loss to the Cowboys.

Fantasy Impact

Hunt was unable to capitalize on his modest involvement out of the Kansas City backfield, failing to reach the end zone for the first time in five games. The running back remains a touchdown-dependent option as part of an inconsistent Kansas City offense, with a Week 14 contest against the Houston Texans up next.
