Chiefs' Kareem Hunt: Runs for two yards in loss
Kareem Hunt rushed three times for two yards in the Kansas City Chiefs' 26-9 loss to the Titans on Sunday.In their first game without Patrick Mahomes (knee), the Chiefs embarrassingly ran just 43 offensive plays against the now 3-12 Titans. Along the way, Gardner Minshew also suffered a knee injury, leading to QB3 Chris Oladokun playing a majority of the game for Kansas City. At this point, the Chiefs are just playing out the string in a lost season, giving Hunt minimal fantasy appeal for Christmas Day against the Broncos.

Chiefs' Kareem Hunt: Next to nothing on seven touches
Kareem Hunt rushed six times for 12 yards and brought in one of two targets for eight yards in the Kansas City Chiefs' 16-13 loss to the Chargers on Sunday.Hunt was stonewalled on the ground by a Chargers defense that had often been beatable this season, and he also logged five fewer carries than backfield mate Isiah Pacheco, who didn't fare any better than Hunt while churning out just 1.9 yards per carry. The entire outlook for the Chiefs' offense also darkened considerably once it was confirmed Patrick Mahomes suffered a torn ACL on Sunday, per Adam Schefter of ESPN, so Hunt may continue to find running room at a premium over the final three games of the season.

Chiefs' Kareem Hunt: Scores KC's only TD Sunday
Kareem Hunt rushed 12 times for 30 yards and a touchdown while failing to bring in his only target in Sunday's 20-10 loss to the Texans.Hunt struggled generating running room on his 12 carries Sunday, but he rewarded fantasy managers with the only touchdown from Kansas City's side in the primetime loss. Former starter Isiah Pacheco remained involved by gaining the same yardage on nine carries, but he couldn't match the starter's trip to the end zone. Hunt has been providing a high floor since taking over lead-back duties, a scenario that should hold true in Week 15 against the Chargers.

Chiefs' Kareem Hunt: Handles lead duties in Dallas
Kareem Hunt carried the ball 14 times for 58 yards and caught one of two targets for 22 yards in Thursday's 31-28 loss to the Cowboys.Even with Isiah Pacheco back in the lineup, Hunt handled the bulk of the work in the Kansas City backfield, getting 15 touches to Pacheco's five and out-gaining him 80 yards from scrimmage to 33. Hunt did see his four-game TD streak come to an end, but the 80 combined yards were his second-highest total of the season after last week's 130. The veteran appears to have a firm hold of the No. 1 RB job heading into a tough Week 14 matchup against the Texans.

Chiefs' Kareem Hunt: Competing with Pacheco again
Kareem Hunt's teammate Isiah Pacheco (knee) will return for Thursday's game at Dallas, but Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said he isn't sure how much Pacheco will play, ESPN's Nate Taylor reports.Pacheco was Kansas City's lead runner before his knee sprain, but the role didn't amount to much in fantasy with Hunt stealing goal-line work and Brashard Smith taking a few touches each week. Hunt was far more valuable in Pacheco's absence, recording three straight games with at least 47 snaps, 12 touches and 12.5 PPR points. His playing time figures to decrease now, though to what extent is unclear.

Chiefs' Kareem Hunt: Tops century mark against Indy
Kareem Hunt carried the ball 30 times for 104 yards and a touchdown and caught all three of his targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 23-20 overtime win over the Colts.The 30 totes were a career high for the veteran RB, as Kansas City committed to attacking Indianapolis' run defense with DeForest Buckner (neck) on IR. The strategy worked, as Hunt became the first KC player to reach 100 rushing yards this season, and he punctuated his big performance with a two-yard TD plunge in the fourth quarter that kicked off a comeback from a 20-9 deficit -- a score that extended his TD streak to four games. Isiah Pacheco (knee) could be ready to return in Week 13, but even if he does, Hunt figures to still have a significant role in the backfield in a Thanksgiving tilt against the Cowboys.

Chiefs' Kareem Hunt: Extends TD streak in loss
Kareem Hunt carried the ball 13 times for 59 yards and a touchdown and caught one of two targets for three yards in Sunday's 22-19 loss to the Broncos.The veteran running back got into the end zone for a third straight game when he punched home a two-yard TD in the third quarter. Hunt's 62 scrimmage yards were also a season high, as he continues to need those touchdowns to keep his fantasy relevance. Through 10 games, he's produced just 419 scrimmage yards but has seven totals TDs -- six on the ground and one through the air. Hunt will look to hit paydirt again in Week 12 against the Colts.

Chiefs' Kareem Hunt: Scores with 55 yards Sunday
Kareem Hunt rushed 11 times for 49 yards and a touchdown while catching one of two targets for six yards in Sunday's 28-21 loss to the Bills.Isiah Pacheco (knee) was unable to suit up after absorbing a big hit last week, opening the door for Hunt to serve as the Kansas City Chiefs' primary back against the Bills on Sunday. The 29-year-old Hunt was up to the task, leading his team in rushing yards while collecting his fifth rushing touchdown of the season. Brashard Smith (3-7-0) finished a distant second in backfield touches, as head coach Andy Reid opted to lean on Hunt more instead of continuing a two-back approach in Pacheco's absence. There is a chance the latter will return following the Chiefs' upcoming bye week, but Hunt has been providing enough value in a timeshare to warrant flex consideration against the Broncos in Week 11.
