Who Should I Start? Kareem Hunt or Tyler Allgeier

With backfield mate Isiah Pacheco (knee) inactive for Week 9's 28-21 loss to the Buffalo Bills, Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt led the team's ground game. The veteran tied a season-high with 49 rushing yards on 11 totes, adding six yards on 1-of-2 receiving. Hunt punched in another short touchdown in this one, giving him three across his last two appearances and six on the season as a whole. While his efficiency hasn't been off the charts, the Toledo product has rushed for at least 4.4 yards per clip in four of his previous five games. Furthermore, he's the most likely option on his team aside from quarterback Patrick Mahomes to find pay dirt on the ground. Pacheco is expected to return following Kansas City's Week 10 bye. However, Hunt projects to lead the backfield again if he doesn't. It will be a situation to keep tabs on over the coming week.

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier logged 11 carries for 57 yards and a season-high two touchdowns in the team's 31-25 overtime loss to the Indianapolis Colts. While Bijan Robinson managers may view Allgeier as a frustrating timeshare partner, the fourth-year back is quietly becoming fantasy-relevant. In games the Falcons have either won or pushed to overtime, Allgeier has averaged 13.6 carries for 56.5 yards and five touchdowns across four games. With three upcoming games where Atlanta projects as a favorite, Allgeier could continue to provide sneaky fantasy value as a touchdown-dependent flex option for desperate teams.
