5 days agoKansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt will take on the Houston Texans in Week 16. Hunt was nearly phased out of the Chiefs backfield with Isiah Pacheco returning from injury, but his usage picked up again in Week 15. The 29-year-old handled 13 games in last week against the Cleveland Browns, getting the same number of touches as Pacheco. It will be interesting to see how many opportunities Hunt gets this week against the Texans, who rank fourth in fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs this season. Hunt is ranked RB46 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a desperation flex option this week. With the two Chiefs running backs splitting hands in a poor matchup, it will be difficult for fantasy managers to trust either of them in the fantasy playoffs.—Joshua Costello – RotoBaller
