The Chiefs are coming off their bye week and at 5-4, today’s matchup is make or break in their quest for yet another division title. Running back Kareem Hunt saw an increased workload out of necessity before the bye and that will be the case on the road this afternoon.
Below, we’ll go over Hunt’s outlook in fantasy football for Week 11.
Fantasy Football analysis: Chiefs RB Kareem Hunt
Hunt recorded 11 carries for 49 yards and a touchdown in their 28-21 loss to the Bills two weeks ago, finishing as a top-20 fantasy running back in all scoring formats for Week 9. It was the second straight game with a score for the veteran Pro Bowler and as alluded to earlier, he’s been serving as the Chiefs’ starting running back in recent weeks with Isiah Pacheco dealing with a knee injury.
Pacheco has once again been ruled out after not practicing this week, meaning Hunt will be called upon to hold things down out of the KC backfield once again. The Broncos are fourth in defensive rushing EPA and have limited opponents to a league-low 3.6 yards per attempt, so the veteran tailback will have a challenge on his hands.
Start or sit in Week 11?
Sit. It may end up being a struggle for Hunt to move the football on the ground in this matchup. Not a single Kansas City running back has eclipsed 60 yards in a game this season and I don’t see the veteran breaking that trend this afternoon. Even if he manages to find the end zone, I’d still look elsewhere for options on the ground this week.
