DMD Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Kareem Hunt kinda made me think of Cadillac Williams. Hopefully he'll do better but Cadillac had a red hot start like Hunt and cooled off for pretty much his entire career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTSuper7 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Hunt is still among the league leaders in broken tackles, so it's hard to point the finger at him being the problem. I am playing Jamaal Williams and DeMarco Murray over Hunt this weekend. Until the Chiefs' offense starts looking better, I will look for reasons to bench him. What's weird about this is that it's not like the Chiefs have had a hard time running the ball with a "game manager" version of Alex Smith before. It feels like this is a combination of below average offensive line play and poor play calling (along with a less confident / aggressive / accurate Alex Smith).

Tripleshot Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 His nickname should be Krispy Kareem. Much like the donut, he's only good while still hot out of the gate but once he cools down he's just a pile of sugar-coated lard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loaf Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 anyone trusting him ? I've got him in my lineup where I have a Playoff spot locked up. Not so much where I don't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajncajn Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 I'm considering offering a trade for him in my dynasty league just for the sheer fact that I have Ware sitting on IT and hope it increases my odds on getting a decent RB for next season.

Rbgb Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 ^ Now would definitely be the time to buy low on him. Don't think he can get much lower barring a career ending injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphashado Posted December 4, 2017 Author Share Posted December 4, 2017 9 carries and 3 catches this week. That's barely an RB 3. I just don't get it. It's not like he's losing carries to West, they just aren't running the ball. It's very strange. What makes it so strange is the fact that he averaged 4.4 YPC and still only got 9 carries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stethant Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 (edited) The whole team is coming unglued. Whatever the problems are this is all on Andy Reid at this point. He needs to get this team back to disciplined, fundamental football. Not sure why it's taken 6 losses to see this.

tazinib1 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Who is that crazy guy who said Hunt would crash and burn by week 10? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In regards to fantasy points I guess that prediction would be accurate. I heard more than one person say it. But I wouldn't take too much credit for the seemingly accurate prophecy, because the lack of production isn't Hunt's fault. The offensive line isn't opening any holes and they simply aren't giving him the ball despite averaging almost 5 yards per carry. Now if someone would have said "by week 10 I predict Andy Reid will forget how to coach and will stop giving the ball to his RBs"... well then I would buy that dude a Fresca.

loaf Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 In this 4 game losing streak, Hunt's avg 3.5 ypc and just under 12 carries/game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1fastdoc Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Watching KC early on was fun. Now it's like Ind, NYG or the Titans a few years ago. Just painful. And I still maintain that they have the easiest offensive plays to read before the snap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuckyBub Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 I've benched Hunt in favor of McCaffrey. But Hunt is not the reason why I went bad in 2 of the last 4. It's a few guys named Dak and Julio - mostly Dak. Dak needs to get a grip and get over this sophomore slump he's in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alphashado Posted December 17, 2017 Author Share Posted December 17, 2017 Looks like taking the play calling away from Andy Reid had the desired effect. Results- 25/116/Win last week. 24/155/Win this week. This kid is a talented work-horse RB. As long as the chiefs continue to use him as such, they will have success. This down the stretch performance is making my Keeper decision a little more interesting since David Johnson is my current keeper, but at this point I am still leaning D.J because the entire offense revolves around him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
