Fantasy Football 2017: Thursday Night Football Start Em, Sit Em Week 7
START ‘EM
player. 124. . Running Back. Chiefs. Kareem Hunt. 2
This should go without saying, but after a week in which he only rushed for 22 yards, I could see people complaining (even though he STILL had 100 yards from scrimmage). START KAREEM HUNT THIS WEEK.
For one, Kareem Hunt is going to be a top candidate to win the Rookie of the Year Award, especially if he keeps at this pace. Second, the Raiders are just as bad at stopping the run as Kansas City is.
#Raiders have allowed 6th most yards receiving (662) to opposing TEs/RBs. Allowed 17th most to WRs (794)

Last week, Oakland gave up 83 yards to Melvin Gordon of the Chargers and allowed him to find the end zone. They also let the Ravens rush for 143 yards against them in week five. This is most definitely a good match-up for Kareem Hunt, who should find the end zone for the first time since week three.
If those stats don’t convince you, just start Hunt anyway. He’s one of the best running backs in the league and is going to continue putting up points.
