Who Should I Start? Kareem Hunt or Devin Singletary

Monday, November 3, 11:15 AM

With backfield mate Isiah Pacheco (knee) inactive for Week 9's 28-21 loss to the Buffalo Bills, Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt led the team's ground game. The veteran tied a season-high with 49 rushing yards on 11 totes, adding six yards on 1-of-2 receiving. Hunt punched in another short touchdown in this one, giving him three across his last two appearances and six on the season as a whole. While his efficiency hasn't been off the charts, the Toledo product has rushed for at least 4.4 yards per clip in four of his previous five games. Furthermore, he's the most likely option on his team aside from quarterback Patrick Mahomes to find pay dirt on the ground. Pacheco is expected to return following Kansas City's Week 10 bye. However, Hunt projects to lead the backfield again if he doesn't. It will be a situation to keep tabs on over the coming week.

New York Giants running back Devin Singletary's fantasy value is largely dependent on game flow, and he could split snaps with Tyrone Tracy Jr. during Sunday's Week 10 contest against the Chicago Bears. Singletary handled 56 percent of the snaps last week, registering eight carries for 43 yards, plus an additional two catches and eight receiving yards. Offensive coordinator Mike Kafka recently confirmed that Tracy will earn the start in Week 10, but his comments indicated that the exact workload split is dependent on game flow. In other words, Singletary could pace the backfield in snaps, Tracy could lead the way, or we might see another 50-50 split. With uncertainty continuing to surround this backfield post-Cam Skattebo (ankle) injury, fantasy managers should be wary of deploying Singletary as anything more than a low-end RB3/flex. He's merely a desperation option who can help managers short-term as their roster deals with bye weeks or injuries.
