Who Should I Start? Kareem Hunt or RJ Harvey

Tuesday, November 11, 9:39 AM

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt had a solid Week 9 with 11 carries for 49 rushing yards and a touchdown against the Bills. He picked up more work with Isiah Pacheco (knee) on the sidelines, but it is possible that Pacheco will return in Week 11 against the Broncos. Hunt has six touchdowns on the season and four scores in the last five weeks. The Broncos have been a tough matchup for running backs this season, but Hunt has touchdown-dependent upside if you are looking for running back help or are desperate for a flex play this week.

Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton said that rookie second-round running back RJ Harvey will "have a bigger role this week," according to Zac Stevens of DNVR Sports. "He'll have more opportunities in this game. He's built to last, and that's important," McVay added. Lead back J.K. Dobbins suffered a foot injury late in last Thursday's 10-7 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, and the Broncos are considering placing him on Injured Reserve, which would sideline him for at least four games. Denver doesn't have a great matchup against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs, who are coming off their bye, this Sunday, but Harvey's increased volume alone will give him RB2 upside in fantasy football in Week 11. With Dobbins likely out this weekend, Tyler Badie should jump up into the RB2 role, with Jaleel McLaughlin probably being active as the No. 3.
