Who Should I Start? Kareem Hunt or Bhayshul Tuten

Monday, November 24, 10:08 AM

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt was an absolute workhorse in Week 12, recording 30 carries for 104 yards and a touchdown and three catches for 26 yards in his team's overtime win over the Indianapolis Colts. With Isiah Pacheco (knee) sidelined by a knee injury, the Chiefs have leaned on Hunt as their feature back in recent weeks. Pacheco has a chance to return for Kansas City's Week 13 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day. However, even when Pacheco returns, Hunt could maintain his status as the lead back in Kansas City. While Hunt hasn't been particularly efficient this season (3.9 yards per carry), he's been a reliable goal-line presence (seven rushing touchdowns). In any fantasy league where Hunt remains available on the waiver wire, he should be a priority target for fantasy managers heading into Week 13.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten was unable to find much success in the running game during Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals. Tuten rushed the ball seven times for 17 yards in the overtime victory. It's worth noting that Tuten did carry an ankle injury into this game, so possibly that impacted his performance on the field. In Week 11, Tuten rushed for 74 yards with a touchdown in the win over the Los Angeles Chargers. The rookie back remains the backup, but should continue seeing nearly double digit carries per week. His struggles this week could make fantasy managers hesitant, but he does head into a plus matchup against the Tennessee Titans in Week 13.
