Chiefs' Kareem Hunt: Busy day as receiver Sunday
Kareem Hunt rushed 14 times for 35 yards and brought in seven of 10 targets for 65 yards in the Kansas City Chiefs' 16-14 win over the Broncos on Sunday.Hunt unsurprisingly found running room at a premium against a stingy Broncos defense, but he made up for it by generating a team-high receiving yardage total and coming in second in both receptions and targets. All three components of Hunt's receiving line were season highs, while his carries and rushing yardage tallies tied and set a season low, respectively. Isiah Pacheco (IR, lower leg) is expected to remain out until later in November, so Hunt should remain in the lead-back role for a Week 11 road battle against the Bills next Sunday.

Chiefs' Kareem Hunt: Submits full practice
Kareem Hunt (quadricep) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.For the second week in a row, Hunt is appearing on Kansas City's injury report with a listed quad issue, but his ability to practice fully Thursday clears up any concern about his availability for Sunday's game against the Broncos. With Isiah Pacheco (fibula) not expected to return from injured reserve until late November at the earliest, Hunt should be in line for at least two more outings as Kansas City's lead back. Though he's averaging a meager 3.7 yards per carry through five contests since signing with the Kansas City Chiefs, Hunt has been a strong fantasy option on the back of heavy volume (at least 16 touches in each game) and a nose for the end zone (five touchdowns).

Chiefs' Kareem Hunt: Limited to begin week again
Kareem Hunt (quadricep) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday.Hunt was limited in practice last Thursday due to the same injury but proceeded to upgrade to full participation before rushing for 106 yards and a touchdown in Monday's win over the Buccaneers. His fantasy managers will be hoping for a similar pattern ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos, with little indication at this point that the Kansas City Chiefs have any meaningful concern regarding Hunt's Week 10 availability.

Chiefs' Kareem Hunt: Scores game-winning TD
Kareem Hunt carried the ball 27 times for 106 yards and a touchdown while catching his lone target for 11 yards in Monday's 30-24 overtime win over the Buccaneers.Hunt was the hero for Kansas City in a tight affair that came down to overtime between cross-conference opponents. The veteran running back continues to be used more as a rusher than a receiver based on his previous run with the Kansas City Chiefs. While that should be considered a negative in terms of fantasy evaluation, Hunt's hefty role as a pure rusher (22.2 rushing attempts per game) has helped offset his change in usage. With five touchdowns and healthy rushing totals over his last five games, Hunt should be considered an upper-tier RB heading into Sunday's tilt against Denver.

In the Kansas City Chiefs' win over the Raiders this past Sunday, Hunt logged 42 snaps on offense en route to carrying 21 times for 58 yards and a TD while catching his only target for four yards.

Chiefs' Kareem Hunt: Practices fully Thursday
Kareem Hunt (hip) practiced fully Thursday.Hunt was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, but his return to a full session one day later paves the way for him to continue to lead the Kansas City Chiefs backfield Sunday against the Raiders. In this past weekend's 28-18 win over the 49ers, Hunt carried 22 times for 78 yards and two touchdowns while hauling in both of his targets for five yards. With 49 carries over his last two contests, Hunt once again looks like a fantasy-friendly option Week 8 considering the volume he's seeing in Kansas City's offense.

Chiefs' Kareem Hunt: Logs limited practice
Kareem Hunt was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice with a hip injury.In Sunday's 28-18 win over the 49ers, Hunt carried 22 times for 78 yards and two touchdowns while catching both of his targets for five yards. Hunt wasn't reported to have suffered an injury at any point during the contest, so his listed limitations Wednesday could have been maintenance-related more so than due to concern about the health of his hip. In any event, the running back will probably need to practice fully by Friday in order to approach this weekend's game against the Raiders without an injury designation.

Chiefs' Kareem Hunt: Continues to excel as starter
Kareem Hunt rushed 22 times for 78 yards and two touchdowns while corralling both of his targets for five receiving yards in Sunday's 28-18 win over San Francisco.Hunt maintained his status as lead back after churning out 102 rushing yards and a touchdown in his first official start for Kansas City in Week 5. The 29-year-old kept momentum rolling with another standout fantasy performance, this time punching in two scores on 20-plus touches against the 49ers on Sunday. Clyde Edwards-Helaire (reserve/NFI list) was activated earlier in the week to help replace the loss of starter Isiah Pacheco (fibula), but the former did not suit up for Sunday's contest. Hunt is thriving as the starter in Kansas City and does not appear to face any threats to his playing time, making the veteran back an elite fantasy option heading into a soft matchup against the Raiders next Sunday.
