Don't Expect Much From Kareem Hunt in Fantasy Football

Fantasy football managers who pick up Kareem Hunt off the waiver wire shouldn't expect much from the running back.

The Kansas City Chiefs signed Kareem Hunt to their practice squad, reuniting with the running back they drafted in 2017 in an effort to shore up a backfield suddenly in need of help following the injury to Isaiah Pacheco.

I hate to burst those bubbles, but Hunt isn't a fantasy football RB1 or RB2 anymore and most likely won't be a flex option again either. If you need proof, just look at last year. This follows a downward trend for Hunt, who went from averaging 4.9 rushing yards per attempt as a rookie with the Chiefs to 3.8 in 2022 with the Browns and the aforementioned 3.0 last season. For further context, Chubb averaged 5.0 yards per rush in 2022 and put up 1,525 rushing yards.Hunt knows the Chiefs playbook, or at least understands Andy Reid's offensive philosophy and terminology, which is a good leg up as he acclimates himself in KC.
