Who Should I Start? Kareem Hunt or James Robinson

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt will take on the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 13. Hunt was on the injury report this week with a toe injury but practiced fully all week and does not have an injury designation for this week's game. Hunt had 16 carries for 68 yards and three catches for 19 yards against the Panthers in Week 12. Despite his strong workload, Hunt could not find the endzone for the third straight game. The 29-year-old will now have to deal with the return of Isiah Pacheco in Week 13. Pacheco was the undisputed lead runner out of the backfield before breaking his leg in Week 2. It will be interesting to see how the backfield split shakes out in Pacheco's first game back, but Hunt's value will undoubtedly take a hit against the Raiders this week. The Raiders rank 21st in fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs this season, making them an advantageous matchup for Hunt. Hunt is ranked RB25 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, landing him outside of RB2 territory for most leagues. The veteran running back will try to retain his role in the valuable Kansas City backfield, but fantasy managers should prepare if he takes a backseat to Pacheco.

New Orleans Saints' running back James Robinson was active in Sunday's preseason loss as he fights for a roster spot. The veteran journeyman carried the ball five times for 27 yards and caught two passes for 12 yards. He also saw some work on special teams as a return man. Robinson has been unable to stick on a roster ever since he was traded from Jacksonville in 2022, and it will be an uphill climb for him to make the Saints' 53-man roster unless he impresses on special teams.
