Hunt hasn't even had a chance with his usage in the past few weeks. He gets poorly designed runs and has been getting buried at the LOS when he does get the ball. He doesn't get the ball in the red zone and isn't getting the ball on passing downs either. That all adds up to exactly what we've seen. And the Chiefs haven't had those big leads that they had earlier in the season that allowed Hunt to get all those 4th quarter carries. It's just ugly. I own Dak and Hunt and both guys have carried me at times this year but both are completely in the tank right now. I'm debating hard if I want to bench Hunt for Mixon down the stretch. I think Hunt is more dynamic but Mixon's usage is much better and he actually will get the ball inside the 10 yard line. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jay2491 70 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 I’m benching Hunt and starting Howard Perine and Drake in what is essentially a must win week for me. I simply can’t risk starting a rb who’s touches are diminishing and who is currently a part of the worst offensive play in the league. Not sure you can gamble on not only hunt but smith Reid and the OC magically turning it around out of nowhere with the stakes being this high Quote Link to post Share on other sites
leebattle 69 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 (edited) Is the moral of the story to trade away a previously unknown guy when he has a historic 3-5 games in a row? The trades I was being offered was absurd and I ignorantly deflected all of them. I think there's something with Devonta Freeman's season two years ago where he also had 4-5 historic games in a row. Then the rest of the season was rather quiet or below to near average. Obviously Freeman is a very good player and Hunt may be as well. But thinking outside of that vacuum might be beneficial. Particularly for a guy like Hunt (maybe Freeman then too) when they're new and it's pretty unfounded the rest of the league catches up and studies film.

Excluding dynasty formats, you're probably right. Now is the right time to buy for dynasty though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No. If you follow this logic, you'd be trying to trade Kamara away right now. I don't think anyone would advise that. Kamara's unprecedented pace should slow down a bit, but he should still be a valuable fantasy RB1. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The moral of the story is that you can't predict the future, you shouldn't beat yourself up over not being able to, and you should ignore the posters who pretend that they could after the fact.

Dexter75 482 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Guru Elite on the Sirius Fantasy channel had a whole segment on Hunt this morning to try and back all us Hunt owners off the ledge haha. He said that people are so quick to say Hunt hasn't done much if you take away his 1st week or even weeks 2 and 3 but thats just skewing numbers to your argument. He said if you want to do that, you also have to take away his worst game too to even it out. So here we go.... If you take away Hunt's best game and his worst game, and do the same with every other starting RB in the league, Hunt is still averaging 16.3 PPG in PPR which is good for 4th best in the league. Take away his two best and two worst games and do the same with every other starting back and his averaging 15.4 PPG which is 2nd best in the league. Even if you take away his 4 best weeks and average it out, he's getting 14 PPG which would be 7th best in the league. So its not so bad when you look at it that way. Any rational person knew there was no way he would continue the pace he was at first 4-5 weeks, had to even out eventually. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Best course of action is to ride the hot hand as long as you possibly can. In the case of Kamara, it's all hands on deck. For Hunt, he's riding the pine. It's easy to be blinded by the first 3-4 weeks of production from Hunt, especially with all the hype. But folks need to take off the damn blinders because that was then and this is now. If you need a win to continue the season, avoid Hunt at all costs. Edited November 28, 2017 by TheLegacy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RampaginRussian 6 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Currently letting hunt start. I dont have a choice. Im lucky enough that a win or loss doesn't change my playoff status. I'm also lucky enough that I have enough firepower usually to over come hunt and his low scores. My question. I'm in a 14 person 4 keeper league. Would you keep hunt? With 14 ppl and most keeping 3 or 4 - starter talent is very hard to acquire Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The only thing that's likely to get turned around is me turning my gun on myself after trading Todd Gurley for this guy lol. As a Lions fan, this reminds me of when our offense was horrendous in the 2015 season under Joe Lombardi and for 3 weeks in a row opposing teams were calling out our plays and knew what we were going to run before the snap. Its still pretty bad, but my point is that an offense can't just figure it out and get things going again once they've plummeted off the cliff like the Chiefs' offense has. They are just being flat out out-coached. Their offense was based on misdirection and they've been figured out. Unless you guys have a solid backup rb, those that own him (myself included) are going to lose this year, but its ok. Its only fantasy. The lesson is to never trust anyone on the Chiefs.

I feel like he hasn’t had any runs in the red zone, KC cannot get the ball up the field for any TD opportunities. He's a two-down back. Most of their recent trips to the red zone have been in hurry-up so he's not even on the field. You know - to make way for the great Charknado to do his thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think we shouldn't have ignored the unsustainable YPC and TD clip. But at the same time I don't think anybody expected KC to regress THIS bad. Even if Hunt didn't keep up the fervent pace he would not have been a fantasy liability if KC could maintain a respectable offense, which they have not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jiamm14 81 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Glad people finally have come to terms with his lack of useage. I called it a few weeks ago and was lambasted by one of the “true believers”. Charcandrick has overtaken 3rd down, passing downs, hurry up, Smith running it in etc. I don’t deny Hunt is talented. Just pigeonholed by Reid’s trick plays and garbage plan for Hunt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Only because Reid is in love with West for some reason. Hunt is just as good a pass catcher as he proved the first 4-5 weeks of the season and he's a much more explosive playmaker. No reason for him to be a two down back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I picked Jamaal Charles 1st two years ago and he was doing great until he blew out his knee. Last year I snagged him in the 4th round as my sleeper and he played 1 game before shutting it down. I was burned twice by him and again this year by Hunt and I also traded for Tyreek Hill lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brosephd 1,307 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 why did they go away from what was giving them success earlier in the year smh... one week to correct it luckily.. i will scrape by into the playoffs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
