Who Should I Start? Kareem Hunt or Zamir White

Sunday, November 23, 7:54 PM

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt had 33 carries for 104 rushing yards and one touchdown during Sunday's Week 12 win over the Indianapolis Colts. He also caught all three of his targets for an additional 26 receiving yards. The veteran running back hadn't handled more than 13 carries or 14 touches in a single game this season, so it was a bit surprising to see him finish with more than double both of those totals. The increased volume led to inflated counting stats, so while his 3.5 yards per carry aren't very intriguing, he still racked up enough yardage to produce as a top-12 running back in fantasy football this week. Isiah Pacheco (knee) could return next week and complicate the backfield dynamic, but Hunt should still be able to carve out a role for himself with standalone value as an RB3/flex.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Zamir White continues to be a non-factor with his team, and he remains off the fantasy radar in all leagues. The 26-year-old has been a healthy scratch for five games in a row, and he's likely headed for his sixth consecutive absence in Week 12 as the Raiders take on the Cleveland Browns. Ashton Jeanty has control of the top spot in Vegas' backfield, while Raheem Mostert and Dylan Laube have edged out White for depth roles. In the four games he did play earlier this year, White averaged just 2.5 carries, 6.3 rushing yards, 0.8 catches, and 4.8 receiving yards. Even if one of the running backs ahead of White were to get injured, he'd likely still be a non-factor in all fantasy football leagues.
