Who Should I Start? Kareem Hunt or Mark Andrews

Monday, November 17, 10:50 AM

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt scored a rushing touchdown for the third consecutive game in his team's 22-19 Week 11 loss to the Denver Broncos. The 30-year-old finished the game with 13 carries for 59 yards and one score. With Isiah Pacheco (knee) sidelined by a knee injury, Hunt has taken over as Kansas City's lead rusher in the team's last two games. While he's not an explosive player at this point in his career, Hunt has six rushing touchdowns on the season and has proven to be an effective goal-line rusher. Pacheco could return in Week 12 against the Indianapolis Colts, which would cause Hunt to lose a few touches. However, Hunt seems likely to retain his goal-line role even when Pacheco gets back on the field. In leagues where Hunt remains available, he could be worth targeting on the waiver wire as a touchdown-dependent flex option for fantasy managers.

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews has now finished as a TE1 in each of the last two weeks while hauling in three total touchdowns. He proved last season that he could take a bad start and turn it into a heater in the second half of the year. While this could be the start to a similar run, he'll go up against a solid defensive unit in the Cleveland Browns in Week 11. They're the ninth-toughest defense against tight ends, allowing just 11.76 fantasy points per game to the position with 376 yards and five touchdowns all year. He's averaged 4.3 targets per game over the last three games, and the only other pass-catcher on the team with more is Zay Flowers. So, Andrews is projected as a borderline TE1 this week.
