I lean this way but it does make me a bit worried of course

RB Kareem Hunt, KC (5 Viewers)

But do you start him given his condition? Tempted to start based on matchup but the activation of another rb does not give a lot of confidence here.

well that was dumb

Well well well. What do we have here?
With Ford out a few weeks I may have found a nice starter to survive with a true RB2.

Really could use him as a guy carrying the load this week in my RB2 spot.
I was excited to see what he can do healthy and being the lead dog again.
But Ford seems to be trying to make other plans.

This is great news. I probably overspent on him a week ago because I had RB bye week trouble and the big weakness of my team was RB depth. I plugged him and Darrel Henderson in last week while Breece/Henry were on bye and it sure is funny how well that worked out. Now it seems like my RB situation is suddenly a strength?

If Fords starts do we still play Hunt this week?
Not sure how juicy the matchup but it looks very tempting that both would be startable this week if healthy and Watson out you got to imagine Browns will run down Ari throat.

I switched him out last minute last week when Ford was active (for Gus… so that worked out)
But he looks pretty good out there.
Hard to start him without knowing what the touches will look like. But I’ve got a stable of RB2s that are all sort of middle of the pack type players similar to Hunt, so I’ll probably play a little Sunday roulette and try to read the coach speak.
My guess is Ford gets more touches than last week. It was odd seeing him get it in the 4th quarter after very few touches the first 3 quarters. But that points to me that the browns seem to trust him and want him in to win. Limiting Hunts upside if he’s feeling better.

The emergence of Strong is my biggest concern. Yes, they will run the rock, but a 3'headed RBBC could be in the offing. I own both Hunt and Ford in one league, and although I may regret it, am benching them both for Hubbard this week until I can see what shakes out.

Hunt is the RZ and goal line back. He's unlikely to get more than 40-45 yards, but he's getting the valuable touches which offsets his lack of touches between the 20s. He's 2023 Jamaal Williams.
Hold... he'll be a Chief tomorrow.

Andy Reid said just now the Chiefs planned to go with the RBs they have, which are Carson Steele and Samaje Perine with Keaontay Ingram and Emani Bailey on practice squad. Also, CEH is on IR and not eligible to be activated for two more weeks.

Andy Reid Says The Chiefs Won't Try To Bring Kareem Hunt Back, But They Should
The Kansas City Chiefs need a running back, and Kareem Hunt needs a team. Could we see the two sides reunite?

Well Kareem isn't signed yet?

When did CEH ever get started? KC moved on from him 2 years ago
JohnnyU

....and the league moved on from Hunt 3 years ago

Afraid so.
He puzzled me because I thought he'd age out better since he had the long absence and then worked in a RBBC but instead he aged out quicker then most. I get a sense he does not spend his off-seasons spending time at training facilites and that kind of thing.

I get the yard value wasn't there, but Hunt on KC IMO is better then Hunt on Cleveland..Plus, if he gave me 9 TD the rest of the way, I be ecstatic
JohnnyU

I think Perine will be more valuable and it won't be close.

Well, Hunt was able to average 4.9 ypc in Cleveland 2 years ago.
Then 3.8.
Then 3.0
Situation didn’t change, I think it’s a pretty clear step-wise decline.
I also just think if KC liked him better than Steele/Perine, they would have already had him on the roster.
I think he’s 3rd in line for touches.

Not true, Hunt is available on MFL He was just picked up by a team who dropped Johnny Wilson, who hasn't played yet. Because Hunt is still unsigned and he dropped a player who hasn't played this week, it is legal.

QB situation definitely changed over those years.
Not that Im advocating for Hunt being great or anything…but there has been a difference each year in Cleveland
One of my MFL leagues has a setting that you can't pick up NFL FA's. Weird.
JohnnyU
Footballguy
Not a setting we would ever use in the leagues that I'm a commissioner. Strange to do that, like you said.

Looked for him in two different leagues. He does not show up on add/drops or complete free agent listing of MFL

I suppose Reid could have changed his mind, or it wasn’t true. I don’t know.

Yep, clearly wasn't the truth.
Did everyone read the links about CMC playing week 1? Those meant nothing either.
He's heading to KC.

If you can correctly guess which RB it will be (Steele or Perine) he's going to immediately have good value in this offence.Andy Reid said just now the Chiefs planned to go with the RBs they have, which are Carson Steele and Samaje Perine with Keaontay Ingram and Emani Bailey on practice squad. Also, CEH is on IR and not eligible to be activated for two more weeks.
Andy Reid Says The Chiefs Won't Try To Bring Kareem Hunt Back, But They Should
The Kansas City Chiefs need a running back, and Kareem Hunt needs a team. Could we see the two sides reunite?
I lean Perine due to his experience but one never knows what Andy wants to do. Even guys like Charcandrick West and Spenser Ware had brief success with KC.
Question is, who will be the lead guy?
JohnnyU
Footballguy
I think he would have to really impress Reid. Otherwise, his history and that they dumped him because of it, makes it not worth the trouble. I know time heals all wounds, but I do think he has to be impressive in that workout.

Reunion: Veteran RB Kareem Hunt is signing with the #Chiefs practice squad, per source.After the injury to Isiah Pacheco, Kansas City brought in Hunt — the team’s 2017 third-round pick — for a workout. He should have a chance to play soon.
