The Kansas City Chiefs will host the Houston Texans in Week 14. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding RB Kareem Hunt.
Is Kareem Hunt Playing in Week 14?
Hunt is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Chiefs’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Hunt in Week 14?
Hunt had 30 carries in Week 12, and while the volume wasn’t the same in the loss to Dallas on Thursday, the return of Isiah Pacheco didn’t really dent his rest of season outlook.
As per usual, Hunt handled all three of the red zone running back touches for KC, and he held a 40-16 snap edge over their RB2. I suppose it’s possible that Pacheco, the harder runner for my money, works into a role that truly subtracts from Hunt’s bottom line, but I’m not projecting it until we get proof of concept.
This is a brutal matchup, and with some touch variance at least in the conversation, I can’t get Hunt inside of my top 20 at the position. That said, with touchdown equity and a clear path to 15 touches, I find it unlikely that you have three better options.
