Who Should I Start? Kareem Hunt or Damien Harris

Sunday, November 23, 9:13 AM

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt will earn another start after Isiah Pacheco (knee) was ruled out for Sunday's Week 12 game against the Indianapolis Colts. Pacheco is on track to miss his third consecutive game. In each of his two previous absences, Hunt took over as the primary running back, logging at least a 79% snap share on both occasions. He's averaging 12 carries, 54 rushing yards, one reception, 4.5 receiving yards, and one touchdown in games he's started with Pacheco sidelined. The veteran running back should handle around 10-15 touches once again this Sunday against the Colts. Indianapolis has been effective against the run, allowing the seventh-fewest rushing yards and 10th-fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs in 2025. Despite the tougher matchup, Hunt's role and volume have vaulted him up to the RB25 spot in this week's RotoBaller fantasy rankings.

Former New England Patriots running back Damien Harris announced his retirement from professional football on Monday at age 27. The Patriots selected Harris in the third round (87th overall) in the 2019 NFL draft out of Alabama, and he had 449 rushing attempts for 2,094 yards and 20 touchdowns in his four years in New England in 38 regular-season games (34 starts) while adding 40 receptions on 51 targets for an additional 281 receiving yards. Harris spent the 2023 campaign with the Buffalo Bills but played in only six games before suffering a season-ending concussion/neck injury that saw him be taken off the field in an ambulance. He'll end his NFL career after just five seasons, recording 2,188 rushing yards and 21 touchdowns on 427 carries with the Pats and Bills.
