Kareem Hunt

Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco reclaimed the rushing lead in Sunday's loss to the Chargers. He took his 11 carries for just 21 yards (1.9 per rush), while Kareem Hunt carried six times for 12 yards (2.0). Brashard Smith claimed the other two RB attempts, contributing a mere 1 yard. The usage pushed the backfield split back to what we saw from Kansas City backs before Pacheco's injury absence.

Hunt rushed six times for 12 yards and brought in one of two targets for eight yards in the Chiefs' 16-13 loss to the Chargers on Sunday.

Hunt played behind Isiah Pacheco, who had 11 rushes for 21 yards and did not have a reception as Hunt ran more pass routes on the day. Neither KC back has been anything more than a desperation flex option for most of the season, and with Patrick Mahomes (knee) possibly done for the season and the Chiefs' postseason hopes dashed in Week 15, things could get worse for both Hunt and Pacheco. Hunt should remain on benches in Week 16.

Pacheco was as inefficient as ever, averaging a meager 1.9 yards while Kareem Hunt had 12 yards on six carries in the NFL's worst backfield. He was bottled up time and again in short yardage situations and slow to get to the edge against LA defenders. Pacheco logged 18 routes to 22 pass routes for Hunt. Pacheco, who has more than nine carries in just five games this season, won't be playable in fantasy next week against the Titans.
