Who Should I Start? Dwayne Washington or Kareem Hunt

Sunday, November 26, 3:02 PM

Denver Broncos running back Dwayne Washington (illness) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns. He was listed as questionable after being a late addition to the injury report on Friday. Washington has played just one snap on offense this season, spending most of his time on special teams. As a result, his absence in Week 12 will have no fantasy implications.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt (illness) has yet to practice this week due to an illness after not practicing again on Thursday, according to Chiefs Digest's Matt Derrick. Hunt, who has ceded more backfield work to Isiah Pacheco in recent weeks, could be in danger of missing the Week 18 regular-season finale this weekend versus the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders unless he can practice on Friday. Even if Hunt can get cleared to play on Sunday, fantasy managers should consider him a low-upside RB4/flex for starting lineups in an offense that is being run by third-string quarterback Chris Oladokun to close out the season. If Hunt is ruled out for Week 18, Pacheco would be a more attractive RB3/flex play for fantasy managers in deeper leagues still trying to win a championship. Hunt hasn't had double-digit carries in the last three games for KC.
