Who Should I Start? Kareem Hunt or Jerome Ford

Tuesday, October 28, 1:02 AM

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt logged nine carries for 40 yards and a touchdown while adding another score on a two-yard reception in Monday night's 28-7 win over the Washington Commanders. Hunt has recorded exactly one target and one reception in six of eight games this season and caught his first receiving touchdown since Week 1 of the 2022 season, back when he was with the Cleveland Browns. The 30-year-old back has been a reliable, high-success rate runner for Kansas City this season, helping to keep the offense on schedule. He's only averaging 3.9 yards per carry, but he's scored four rushing touchdowns, and his 47% success rate is the highest among running backs with at least 50 carries this season, per SumerSports. Hunt is a touchdown-dependent option in fantasy, but he gets another good matchup in Week 9 against the Buffalo Bills.

Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford has been filling a backup role behind Quinshon Judkins in 2025. Ford logged just one carry and caught two passes for 10 yards in a 31-6 win over the Miami Dolphins in Week 7. He will now head on the road to take on the New England Patriots in Week 8. The Patriots have been tough on running backs this season, allowing just the 27th-most fantasy points per game to the position. Ford isn't involved enough in the offense to trust in fantasy outside of using him as a desperation flex/RB4 heading into Week 8. He most likely should remain on fantasy benches on Sunday.
