Kareem Hunt

Chiefs re-signed RB Kareem Hunt to a one-year, $1.5 million contract.

Per FOX NFL’s Jordan Schultz, Hunt can make another million dollars via incentives. The veteran back re-joined Kansas City early last season after Isiah Pacheco went down with a broken leg. Hunt was one of the league’s least explosive runners, but did get what was blocked more often than not, making him a high-floor option for a team that doesn’t place much emphasis on its ground game. Even when Pacheco returned, the Chiefs kept Hunt in a 1A role, giving him an average of 9.1 carries per game with Pacheco active. Kansas City also took a dart throw on Elijah Mitchell in free agency, putting another name in the mix for touches. This is shaping up to be one of the league’s least exciting backfield committees for fantasy purposes once again.
