Kareem Hunt Worth a Speculative Stash for Week 4

Tuesday, September 29, 7:29 AM

Free-agent running back Kareem Hunt is a pure speculation stash for Week 4, but the timing makes him more interesting than he was a week ago. Injuries have hit several backfields around the league, and Hunt is still unsigned after spending 2025 with Kansas City. He appeared in all 17 games last season, rushing 163 times for 611 yards and eight touchdowns while adding 18 catches for 143 yards and another score. There is no confirmed visit or landing spot yet, so this is not a pickup for managers looking for immediate production. RotoBaller has Hunt 36th overall on its Week 4 waiver board, at 1% rostered, with a recommendation for 12-team leagues. That feels like the right range. Hunt is worth stashing if the bench spot is available, but he remains a bet on a team deciding it needs veteran help rather than a player with a defined fantasy role.

Saquon Barkley to Undergo Tests, Injury Does Not Appear Serious

Monday, October 5, 5:15 AM

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley (hamstring) is set to undergo further testing, but it does not appear to be overly serious, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Barkley suffered a hamstring injury on the second drive of the 24-20 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. In four games this season, he has 36 carries for 182 yards and added just eight receiving yards on four catches, leaving two of those games early due to injury. With Barkley out, running backs Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley carried the load, with Bigsby leading the backfield with 14 carries. However, Bigsby left for the locker room in the fourth quarter, and there's no word on the severity of his undisclosed injury. The Eagles travel to London to face the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 5, where it's unclear whether Barkley will make the trip.
