Who Should I Start? Travis Kelce or Kareem Hunt

Tuesday, October 28, 12:48 AM

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce caught six of his eight targets for 99 yards and a touchdown on Monday Night Football against the Washington Commanders. It was a milestone day for the legendary tight end, scoring his 83rd career regular-season touchdown, tying Chiefs' legend Priest Holmes for the most in franchise history. He also became the fifth tight end all-time with at least 80 receiving touchdowns, joining Antonio Gates, Tony Gonzalez, Rob Gronkowski, and Jimmy Graham. Kelce has put together a nice bounce-back campaign in his age-36 season, and has now caught at least six balls in three of his last four games. He'll be overshadowed a bit now with Rashee Rice back in the mix, but he's still racked up 37 receptions for 474 yards and three touchdowns on 48 targets in eight games this season. The veteran tight end will be firmly in the TE1 mix for next week's highly anticipated matchup against the Buffalo Bills.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt has been productive while working in a backfield committee this season, recording 302 yards from scrimmage and five touchdowns on 70 touches across eight games. With fellow Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco (knee) considered week-to-week after suffering an MCL sprain in Week 8, Hunt could play a true lead-back role in Week 9 against the Buffalo Bills. The Chiefs have their bye in Week 10, so Hunt may be looking at a short-term workload bump. Additionally, Chiefs rookie running back Brashard Smith will also continue to play a role, especially in the passing game. Still, if Pacheco is sidelined against Buffalo, Hunt is a solid bet for double-digit touches and should dominate snaps around the goal line.
