Who Should I Start? Kareem Hunt or Tank Bigsby

Friday, October 24, 2:57 PM

After missing the team's first practice of the week on Thursday, Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt (ankle/knee) will reportedly get back to work in some capacity on Friday. Hunt is dealing with a bone bruise that could have contributed to his season-low 15 snaps in a Week 7 win over the Raiders. With the Chiefs playing on Monday night, Hunt will have an extra day to recuperate, so his Saturday practice participation should be monitored. While Hunt has seen his workload decrease over the past few weeks, a full absence on Monday night would put Isiah Pacheco in a position to see his heaviest usage of the season against a Commanders team that has been middle of the pack at defending the run. Rookie Brashard Smith, coming off a season-high 14 carries, also has flex appeal in a matchup that sees Washington without starting quarterback Jayden Daniels and the Chiefs favored heavily at home.

The Philadelphia Eagles just traded for Tank Bigsby on Monday, and the former Jaguar is currently listed as the third running back on the depth chart. He was far outpaced by Travis Etienne Jr. in Jacksonville's first game, and was splitting touches with Bhayshul Tuten as well. Bigsby only managed 12 yards on five carries against the Panthers in Week 1, which clearly didn't impress the Jaguars front office enough to keep him on the roster. Eagles backup RB Will Shipley (rib) is officially out for the upcoming contest against Kansas City, clearing the runway a bit for Bigsby, but probably not enough for any real fantasy production. Shipley and AJ Dillon combined for 13 snaps on offense against Dallas last week, while Saquon Barkley totaled 50. With a star like Barkley ahead of him, Bigsby should not be considered for lineups in Week 2.
