Kareem Hunt 2018 Outlook
Hunt had a record-setting rookie season, but he's greedy. He wants more. The Chiefs made Hunt the 86th overall pick in 2017’s draft, and it didn’t take long for him to show he was drafted too low. His 246 yards from scrimmage in the Week 1 season opener were the most ever in a player's NFL debut. By season’s end Hunt had rushed for a league-leading 1,327 yards, while catching 53 passes for 455 yards and three touchdowns. His 1,782 total yards from scrimmage ranked third in the league. Eyeing the upcoming season, Hunt wants to grow in the passing game. "I want to be known as a guy who can do it all," Hunt said. "Le'Veon [Bell] is a great receiver out of the backfield and route-runner, and I definitely want to show more of that." As Bleacher Report's Doug Farrar wrote, "(Hunt's) abilities as a rusher and receiver are clear, but in Kansas City's option-based offense, it's his ability to create misdirection and confusion among defenses with pre-snap motion and post-snap deployment that makes him one of the best fits between player and team." And that's why fantasy owners can expect to pay a first-round premium to secure his services this season.
Kareem Hunt 2017 Outlook
During a recent appearance on SiriusXM Fantasy Sports Radio, ESPN.com's Adam Teicher expressed the belief that Hunt will lead the team in rushing this season and lead Kansas City's running backs in receptions. This suggests a more immediate -- and bigger -- role than most others expect. While team officials, including HC Andy Reid, seem to be intent on Spencer Ware being the team's feature back, Teicher isn't sold. The Chiefs traded up to draft Hunt in the third round of this year's draft, and Ware's hot start last season rapidly petered out. As numberFire.com reminded readers, after averaging 5.2 yards per carry through the first six games of 2016, Ware averaged only 3.6 yards per attempt over the final eight contests. Hunt rushed for nearly 1,500 yards and 10 touchdowns this past season for the Toledo Rockets. He's not considered the fastest running back in the draft but is one of the most rugged despite his size. And now he's a player worth watching, at least based on Teicher's expectations.
