RB Kareem Hunt, KC (1 Viewer)

[FantasyGuru24]

I will be looking to sell Hunt this week.

Lmao .. Rookie mistake

Selling high is hardly a bad move

It is when Hunt has the potential to be a RB1 ..

Trading a RB1 is allowed right? If someone has 2 RB1 and 2 other RB1 potential, shouldn't you trade one of them to shore up other weaknesses?

I think you are right that Hunt has RB1 potential. I am hoping that others in my league feel the same way.

 

[JAA]

Hunt is a 3 down back

I think he will be the bellcow in 3 weeks.

If 29 year old Hunt was that good he’d have already been on an NFL roster.

I believe he is not actively rostered because of off the field issues and AR has enough political capital to make it happen.

I only targeted Hunt when KC signed him due to injury. That is the type of story which plays out in the press IMO.

whack-a-mole

 

[travdogg]

Worth pointing out that CEH is eligible to return now, and say what you want about him, he's stiffer competition than Carson Steele, at the very least.

 

[jm192]

I think it's really tough.

I see a lot of people saying RB1 and league winner. Maybe.

He just joined the team and in his 1st game active got most of the work. Great sign.

Is he their guy or was this a hot hand thing after Steele fumbled and Hunt made some good runs? Is he still a really good RB or were the chargers susceptible against the run down Bosa and Derwin James? Does CEH returning affect the situation? Are we worried that Perine stole the short TD?

It could be really good. It could sill be a committee. And while it's easy to say "Look what he did in his 1st week," everything has the potential to be an overreaction. Based on the Chicago Bears R B usage a week ago, you'd think we're near the end of Swift. Swift goes for 160+ total yards and a TD this week with like 7 catches. Based on the Broncos RB usage, you'd think Javonte was out of he offense. Javonte goes for 40% of the total offense for the Broncos this week. As much as we'd like to look at this and draw a firm conclusion, I don't know that we can.

 

[barackdhouse]

CEH he's stiffer than Steele

is he really though? /s

 

[barackdhouse]

Glad I spent 20% of my FAAB everywhere on him last week. Even started him in my desperate Main Event league. Will def be looking to sell high in all dynasties, and looking to rock n roll on my zero or hero RB redraft squads even if it's only in a 1A fashion. On the Chiefs that is.

Oh and the price just went waaay up if he is actually available anywhere. This is why you take the risk a week early than a week late. He was one or two missed tackles from a TD yesterday by the way.

I couldn't sell high fast enough if someone thought they were maybe getting an RB1.

He's clearly going to continue getting the ball on a 4-0 team looking to three-peat. And who drafted him etc etc. I'm on board with selling high for sure, but RB1 is probably a 50/50 proposition at this point and even if he only finishes as an RB2 for rest of season, that may just be worth it. Especially as we just now get into bye weeks and more injuries at the position sure to come and all of that.

I do not see anyone on the current roster stopping Hunt from becoming the main guy here. CEH is the only one with an outside chance but I do think the rookie and Perine will be the ones fighting with CEH, not Hunt. Nobody gives them a better chance to three peat than Hunt.

Again, I think we see something happen in someone's 1st game and draw firm conclusions. We did that last week with Roschon. Swift was a world beater this week.

 

[ChiefD]

Reid is gonna ride Hunt as far as he can take them. He looked fantastic yesterday and the Chiefs have been having short yardage issues since Damien Williams left. If I had a chance to get him I would.

Didn't Perine get the short yardage carry yesterday?

after Hunt had been in the entire drive and had just converted a 3rd and then had a nice shovel pass reception down there that he nearly converted into a TD. it was simply a question of timing and flow.

At best a 3rd round rookie pick and I wouldn’t give that.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

I didn’t have “Steele fumbles in the first couple of carries” on my bingo card, but it sure seemed to help Hunt.

Perine vultured the TD, and word is CEH is coming back soon. And then Pacheco comes back.

I remain hesitant to put too much value on Hunt. IMO if you have him, and someone wants to give you something of value for him in trade, you should immediately accept that trade.

The key is "by most". I felt like these kind of games were due for Swift and the Bears offense. They want him to be the guy and he is by far the most explosive playmaker in that backfield. They were going to keep letting him sink or swim and in PPR was always going to be getting targets once they opened up Caleb and the offense last week.

Hunt thread here though and the thing is there shouldn't really be any surprise that the Chiefs consider him the guy. If he can't live up to it then maybe things change but it's his job to lose.

Reid is gonna ride Hunt as far as he can take them. He looked fantastic yesterday and the Chiefs have been having short yardage issues since Damien Williams left. If I had a chance to get him I would.

Didn't Perine get the short yardage carry yesterday?

He did, but he is hardly a short yardage back. Probably more of a case of getting Hunt rest than Perine being the chosen short yardage back. In 97 games played in his career with 475 carries Perine only has 9 rushing TD's

haha come on man. The Steele fumble for sure mattered. But the vulturing was purely gameflow, CEH is going to take away from the rookie and Perine at worst, and Pacheco ain't coming back man. He just isn't. By the time he has a chance to muddy things, I guarantee your fantasy season has been mostly decided. Give me the guy that is relevant RIGHT NOW. haha just playing but cmon.

No one is getting a 2nd round rookie pick for Hunt, so you’re stuck with him if that’s what you’re thinking.

At best a 3rd round rookie pick and I wouldn’t give that.

probably true and I wouldn't sell for that. So a 2nd is the happy middle I guess. Maybe we'll see it.

No one is getting a 2nd round rookie pick for Hunt, so you’re stuck with him if that’s what you’re thinking.

Yeah, I wouldn't dream of a 2nd. Maybe a late 3rd if I'm a really strong contender and just need a depth RB. Even then IDK.

 

[barackdhouse]

I think it's really tough.

I see a lot of people saying RB1 and league winner. Maybe.

He just joined the team and in his 1st game active got most of the work. Great sign.

Is he their guy or was this a hot hand thing after Steele fumbled and Hunt made some good runs? Is he still a really good RB or were the chargers susceptible against the run down Bosa and Derwin James? Does CEH returning affect the situation? Are we worried that Perine stole the short TD?

It could be really good. It could sill be a committee. And while it's easy to say "Look what he did in his 1st week," everything has the potential to be an overreaction. Based on the Chicago Bears R B usage a week ago, you'd think we're near the end of Swift. Swift goes for 160+ total yards and a TD this week with like 7 catches. Based on the Broncos RB usage, you'd think Javonte was out of he offense. Javonte goes for 40% of the total offense for the Broncos this week. As much as we'd like to look at this and draw a firm conclusion, I don't know that we can.

I couldn't sell high fast enough if someone thought they were maybe getting an RB1.

He's clearly going to continue getting the ball on a 4-0 team looking to three-peat. And who drafted him etc etc. I'm on board with selling high for sure, but RB1 is probably a 50/50 proposition at this point and even if he only finishes as an RB2 for rest of season, that may just be worth it. Especially as we just now get into bye weeks and more injuries at the position sure to come and all of that.

I do not see anyone on the current roster stopping Hunt from becoming the main guy here. CEH is the only one with an outside chance but I do think the rookie and Perine will be the ones fighting with CEH, not Hunt. Nobody gives them a better chance to three peat than Hunt.

pretty much. but I don't mind - my dynasty teams are in fact competing.

If you Reid between the lines, this is mostly going to be the Kareem Hunt show.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Pacheco ain't coming back man. He just isn't

He broke a bone, he didn’t get leukemia. Cmon

Clever. Now let's not wear it out like they have with the "Likely" one liners.

CEH is coming back soon

I've read this as a detraction for Hunt in a couple threads this morning. Have we forgotten how terrible CEH is?

BTW, I noticed Hunt is wearing #29 now. Some 2nd yr DB has his old #27, so it could be complete coincidence stemming from not asking (or paying) for his old number, but when I saw him wearing 29, I thought... Hmm, that's his current age - I wonder if he's making a subtle statement to all the detractors who've been saying he's too old now to be what he was before for this team.

Another BTW... The list of top (half-PPR) RBs after one quarter of this season includes a who's who of names considered to be old and/or washed by consensus at some point during the last couple years... 1. Kamara 2. Saquan 3. Henry 7. Aaron Jones 10. Conner 12. Dobbins. And let's not forget what high-mileage McCaffrey and old-fart Mostert did just last season. Yeah, all of these guys could fall off cliff at any moment like those latter two seem to have... But until that happens, ride 'em hot, if you got 'em! Based on what I saw yesterday, Hunt is about to be right in there with this grouping of oldie but goodies.

 

[travdogg]

Hunt has clearly worn down on smallish workloads in recent years. I think his absolute ceiling is less than Pacheco's was, and I wouldn't assume the role he had yesterday is going to be what it is going forward.

I'm one of the biggest CEH haters on the board.

But while I, you, and everyone else has noticed how terrible CEH is, the one person who apparently has not seen that is Andy Reid. Because he keeps running him out there as if he's something.

I seriously doubt he gets that workload going forward.

seconded. I replied before seeing this.

I keep saying in every thread about this topic where I am singing Hunt's praises - all of my conjecture is based on IF he can remain relatively fresh and healthy. But that's true for almost every player, just that some may be more prone to not doing so, and Hunt's age and recent history may imply that about him. I concede that for sure. But until he does wear down, ride 'em hot! He looked fresh as **** yesterday.

ETA: I kept waiting and waiting for Mostert to wear down last year, so that my Achane hot rod could be pulled out of the garage. It never happened, and even a couple times when it seemed to, Raheem kept rising from the grave to take back the lead role in a hot offense. Even if Hunt only keeps a ~60% opportunity share, that could easily be a high-end RB2 ROS, especially if the Chiefs lean more into their RBs as weapons. Walrus is sneaky good and making chicken salad out of chicken **** offensive units by morphing to their strengths.

I heard ligament damage as well, I mean I just think his ship has sailed for long enough to not be worried about as a Hunter rosterer.

why? doubt based on what? it's his job to lose.

Based on how he’s looked the last few times he was given a big workload - IIRC he petered out a couple times the last few years.

One was due to injury, but the other just looked like he wore down.

 

[LawFitz]

When was this?... Last season? If so, that was perhaps due to injury as well, with the hernia he played with most of the season.

Fair enough. In my mind, if you're correct, that would mean that they either know he is susceptible to wearing down or they don't know it. Or they perhaps don't care and are willing to ride him until he falls over.

So they either give him the ball enough for us to see him wear down and that's a good thing from a volume/fantasy POV

or

They give him the ball in high value / high leverage situations only, because they know they don't want to overuse him and that isn't a terrible thing for fantasy

or they don't care and ride him a ton anyway.

Honestly seems like the second path is the worst-case scenario for Hunt rosterers and again as a 4-0 team that drafted him and know him and are trying to threepeat, I just don't see them doing anything less than that second path. But the Pacheco role is his IMO. I expect them to continue to develop the rookie, to more or less render Perine obsolete, and I would predict cut or to the practice squad within the next 2-3 weeks, if that, to accommodate sprinkling in CEH and see how that goes.

Hunt 10+ carries and 3+ targets each week as a floor going forward. 15 carries 6 target ceiling.

 

[barackdhouse]

Hunt 10+ carries and 3+ targets
Steele 4-6 carries 1 target
CEH 4-6 carries and 3-5 targets

That will be the split. Hunt is the one that gets TDs.

And what happens when Hunt grossly outplays the other two with his touches? I think Steele or Perine get some heavy inside lifting, while CEH is a complete afterthought as long as Hunt is healthy/fresh. The latter two have the same skillsets, except CEH is an utter garbage version of Hunt.

And assuming Pacheco is back after say, week 11, what does the stretch run look like?

 

[brewer]

Hunt has a nose for the end zone, always has. He looked fresh yesterday but did not look very fresh last year. He looks to be the clear front runner for the largest share of this pie at the moment, but things change quickly around here. I don't have the opportunity to grab Hunt so I am putting in a flyer on CEH. Sounds like he has gone through some things that have nothing to do with football. If he is in a better spot, he very well may perform better between the lines. In either case, good on him and the Chiefs for allowing him the chance to get back to this point.

Probably won't be ideal for fantasy purposes. I'd assume they slowly increase his load before he eats 80-90% of the snaps in the real playoffs.

But I'd probably guess they start him out just about 50-50 with Hunt, maybe Perine mixed in for a pass or two.
