Lions Take Look at Kareem Hunt

Tuesday, August 25, 9:52 AM

Free-agent running back Kareem Hunt visited with the Detroit Lions on Tuesday, according to Adam Schefter. Hunt remains unsigned after spending the past two seasons back in Kansas City, where he carried 163 times for 611 yards and eight touchdowns in 2025. He also caught 18 passes for 143 yards and another score. Detroit already has Jahmyr Gibbs at the top of the backfield and signed Isiah Pacheco this offseason, though Pacheco is currently working his way back from a sprained MCL. The Lions have dealt with some additional injuries at running back throughout August as well, giving them reason to keep looking at available options. Hunt would add an experienced runner with a recent track record around the goal line if Detroit decides to sign him. For now, though, this was only a visit and there is no deal in place.

CeeDee Lamb News

CeeDee Lamb A Mid-To-Low-End WR1 In Week 1

Saturday, September 12, 8:25 AM

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb has only finished as a WR7 or higher once in his career in the NFL. He's one of the NFL's best route-runners, especially on short and intermediate length routes, but the presence of another elite wideout on the team, George Pickens, nerfs his upside. Lamb should still be heavily targeted, but it's reasonable to temper expectations. Lamb scored just three touchdowns in 14 games last season while Pickens hauled in nine in his 17 games. Some TD regression is reasonable, though. In his last fully healthy season, No. 88 caught 12 TD passes. He may need a lot of targets to get to that point, though, and with Pickens on the field, Lamb probably won't reach his target numbers from seasons past. Still, a matchup with a soft New York Giants coming up, Lamb should produce well now that he's fully healthy. Start him in all leagues.
