Should You Start or Sit Kareem Hunt in Week 11?
Let’s call it what it is — Kareem Hunt is a volume play. That may not sound like a glowing endorsement and, long term, it’s not. But for the short term, there’s no reason to jump off of the Hunt Express. That’s now five straight games with over 20 touches, a role that is near impossible to find and lands him inside the top 20 of my rankings regardless of matchup.
Do I think his 10 targets from last week are sticky? Not even close, he had a total of eight looks prior, but it was good to see. More important than the volume of looks was from where they came — four were in the red zone. The Bills are the 11th-best EPA rush defense in the league, but with a league-low aDOT, what we saw last week gives me hope that, even if inefficient, Hunt can give us viable numbers in the game of the week.
Moving off of Hunt for any piece that is a Flex option for the rest of the season would be my play with Isiah Pacheco trending toward his return. But with that information well-known and your league mates unlikely to part with an impactful piece for a rental, I’m planning on riding out this production for as long as I can.
