Hunt steps up for Chiefs in Week 12
23 Nov
Summary
- Kareem Hunt will be the lead running back for the Chiefs.
- Hunt has scored a rushing touchdown in his last two starts.
- The Colts have allowed eight rushing touchdowns recently.
Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt is expected to carry the load once again in Week 12, as teammate Isaiah Pacheco misses his second consecutive game. This renewed opportunity places Hunt in a pivotal role for fantasy football managers navigating the crucial late stages of the season. His recent performances have been touchdown-dependent but effective.
In the two games Pacheco has missed, Hunt has performed as a startable fantasy asset, securing RB17 and RB21 finishes respectively. A significant factor in his fantasy scoring has been his ability to find the end zone, with a rushing touchdown in each of those starts. This touchdown reliance, however, has been a consistent theme in his play this season.
The upcoming matchup against the Indianapolis Colts offers a favorable outlook for Hunt's touchdown potential. The Colts' defense has struggled against the run, having surrendered eight rushing touchdowns to opposing teams. Furthermore, they have allowed multiple rushing touchdowns in each of their last two games, signaling a potential avenue for Hunt to continue his scoring streak.
