Who Should I Start? Kareem Hunt or Clyde Edwards-Helaire

Saturday, November 2, 10:46 PM

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt will face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 9. Hunt has been heavily involved in his time as the team's lead back, garnering at least 20 carries and a touchdown in the last three games. Hunt was a limited participant in Thursday's practice but logged back-to-back full practices on Friday and Saturday. The Chiefs running back is officially off the injury report and ready for the game. Now Hunt will face the Buccaneers, who rank 25th in fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs this season. With Isiah Pacheco still not ready to return to practice, the runway is set for Hunt to take off. The Chiefs are nearly nine-point home favorites in this week's Monday night matchup, so Hunt should be heavily involved in running out the clock. Hunt is ranked RB17 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings this week, so he deserves a place in fantasy lineups.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (coach's decision) is inactive for Week 8 against the Las Vegas Raiders. He was activated from the non-football injury list earlier this month but has not played since then. Sunday represents the second consecutive absence for Edwards-Helaire, who is evidently behind Kareem Hunt, Samaje Perine, and Carson Steele on the depth chart. The former LSU product can be left on waivers in most fantasy leagues.
