Kareem Hunt's fantasy football outlook for Week 18 is uncertain as the Kansas City Chiefs have already secured a first-round bye. With starting running back Isiah Pacheco dealing with a rib injury and quarterback Patrick Mahomes II not expected to play, Hunt's role may be limited. Although Hunt has outperformed Pacheco in three of their five games together this season, his recent committee role diminishes his fantasy value.
Given the circumstances, it's likely that Hunt will see limited action, possibly only at the beginning of the game. Fantasy players should be cautious about relying on him, as there’s little upside with Mahomes out and backup Carson Wentz starting. Hunt's best-case scenario would be an early goal-line carry, but overall, he may not offer much more than that.
