Who Should I Start? Kareem Hunt or Rachaad White

The Kansas City Chiefs intend to split carries between running backs Kareem Hunt and Brashard Smith on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills, according to a report from Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Kansas City will be without Isiah Pacheco (knee) this week, and it looks as if the team will employ a committee approach in his absence. Hunt has had consistent touchdown potential for the Chiefs, scoring four times in the past six games, but he has yet to play to half the team's snaps in a game this season. Smith had a nice game in the Week 7 blowout of Las Vegas, catching five passes for 42 yards to go with 39 yards rushing, but hasn't been super involved week to week. A split isn't ideal for managers, but both backs still could be viable in lineups this week.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White is coming off a lackluster performance against the Detroit Lions last week. White rushed 10 times for 38 yards, while hauling in four receptions for an additional six yards through the air. The Bucs were playing from behind for basically the entire game, so they were exactly committed to the rushing attack. White will remain the lead back for at least one more week with Bucky Irving (foot, shoulder) still sidelined. The assumption is that White will bounce back against the shaky New Orleans Saints defense. White should be able to offer high-end RB2 value for this weekend.
