Who Should I Start? Kareem Hunt or Devin Singletary

Saturday, December 6, 4:57 AM

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt should once again lead the backfield as the Chiefs face the Houston Texans on Sunday night. Hunt led the way with 14 carries for 58 yards and one catch for 22 yards in the 28-31 loss to Dallas on Thanksgiving. Last week's contest was Isiah Pacheco's first game back from injury, so his workload was light, but Hunt should continue getting the majority of work even with Pacheco healthy. The Chiefs have leaned on Hunt as their most trusted runner, and he will need to prove worthy of the role if Kansas City wants to beat the tough Houston defense. The Texans defense has allowed the 10th-fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs this season, making them one of the toughest matchups at the position. Hunt is ranked RB21 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a viable RB2 option this week.

New York Giants running back Devin Singletary started the season as the RB3 in New York behind Cam Skattebo (ankle) and Tyrone Tracy Jr. (hip). However, Skattebo is on Injured Reserve with an ankle injury, and Tracy Jr. suffered a hip injury in the Giants' Week 13 loss to the New England Patriots. While Tracy Jr. said he merely suffered a hip contusion and should be good to go following New York's Week 14 bye, the 2-11 Giants could still choose to shift more work towards Singletary going forward. Even with Tracy Jr. healthy, Singletary has logged at least 14 touches in each of the team's last three games. The 28-year-old has also provided solid production in that span, recording 196 scrimmage yards and three touchdowns. As long as he continues to see a similar workload following the Giants' bye week, Singletary should provide flex-worthy production for fantasy managers down the stretch of the season.
