With RB Isiah Pacheco expected to be sideliend 6-8 weeks, the Chiefs are bringing their former RB Kareem Hunt back to Kansas City for a Tuesday visit, per league sources. Hunt could help fill the Chiefs’ running back void. pic.twitter.com/nDzNGlrcuH

I'm interested in trading him out for Hunt.
I did in my league. Same scenario. Hunt can be a TD Machine. [Reply]
For those saying Kareem lost a step I'd like to remind you you he ran in the 4.6's at the combine. Dude was never Jamal Charles to begin with. As long as he still has excellent vision, contact balance, ball security, and overall instinct that will be plenty.
I'd like to see him start Sunday night. You know they're going to discuss it Pregame. Just start him.
At the same time he's probably not in shape and needs to learn the Playbook. [Reply]

He'd definitely lost a step in terms of top speed, but his vision and his agility were still there, and he made chicken salad out of chickenshit blocking more often than not, while Damien consistently averaged less than 2 yards per carry, until late in the season. For those that don't remember, check out the DET game; Shady got through holes that didn't really exist multiple times in that game. [Reply]

Hopefully defenses do that when Hunt is lined up next to Mahomes in shotgun... [Reply]

I highly doubt we get blanked in the first half of the AFCCG if Hunt was playing in that game. It would have never come down to Dee Ford.
On the other side of the coin, Bob Sutton probably doesn't get fired, we dint revamp the defense, and don't have 3 titles.
Suttons defense would not have compensated for the clown show offense we paraded out last season. [Reply]
We are perhaps the best team in the league to rely on our QB.
I expect Reid/Nagy to scheme a lot of jet sweeps with WRs, short passes to the flat, use Perine or Steele for short yardage and they will either have room for it since the D is expecting pass, or if the D plays the run Mahomes' targets will feast.
I hope they switch it up throughout the game. [Reply]
