Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt logged 10 carries for 34 yards and a touchdown in his team's 22-9 Week 3 win over the New York Giants. Hunt has rushed for 81 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries this season, adding four catches for 23 yards on five targets as well. While the 30-year-old has not been efficient on a per-touch basis, he could still be slowly stealing a larger share of the workload from Chiefs running back Isaiah Pacheco. Over the last two weeks, Hunt has recorded 20 touches, compared to 22 for Pacheco. Hunt may not have a ton of fantasy upside, but he should be rostered in deep leagues. In a tough Week 4 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens, both Chiefs' backs profile as low-end RB3/flex options.

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier rushed 16 times for 76 yards and a touchdown in Week 2's 22-6 victory over the Vikings, the second straight week he's reached double-digit carries, and he even caught one pass for four yards. The 25-year-old tallied double-digit carries five times all last season, so it bodes well for his usage that he was able to reach the double-digit plateau in both a pass-heavy game and a run-heavy game this early in the season. With the Falcons as five-point favorites in Week 3, it sets up as a spot for the team to lean more run than pass, and if Atlanta intends to keep Bijan Robinson fresh, Allgeier should continue to see involvement. The BYU product's best game in 2024 came in Week 6 against Carolina, rushing 18 times for 105 yards and a touchdown, and he added nine rushes for 52 in the Week 18 rematch. The Panther defense hasn't improved, so Allgeier should be viewed as a low-end RB3 or Flex option on Sunday.
