Why You now NEED to know the name Kareem Hunt

Hi, today I am doing a post about another player who you need to know about. Here it is:

Kareem Hunt is a rookie running back on the Kansas City Chiefs who you suddenly NEED to know. The 3rd round pick out of Toledo is now set for a big season after an injury to starting running back Spencer Ware. Ware and Hunt were battling for the starting RB job this pre-season but Hunt was playing very well and looks like a good player but the Chiefs sort of signaled that Ware was going to get the start. That all could have changed after last night. Ware went down with an injury last night and no one knows the extent of the injury just yet. Hunt looks like a stud so far in this pre-season and is making his case to stay the starting RB even when Ware is back but it looks like he will be 'the feature back' according to coach Andy Reid while Ware is hurt. This seems like its a great situation for Hunt. As history has it, a starting running back usually goes down with an injury and leaves a random rookie in the spotlight while he was gone only to realize the rookie running back is an
amazing stud and then its his starting job not the former starters. This seems like it could happen with Hunt. Again, Hunt is a stud who looks better than Ware already and since he will have the spotlight behind the Chiefs great O-line while Ware is gone, it could be Hunt's backfield by the time Ware returns. As far as for a fantasy prospect you should definetly GRAB Hunt as soon as it makes sense. He will probably be a fantasy stud sort of like how Jordan Howard was in Jeremy Langford's absence last year. Another thing about Howard and Langford is that Langford did the spotlight steal 2 years ago from Matt Forte and then Howard stole Langford's spotlight while Langford was gone. 2 years in a row Bears RB's stole jobs from each other. Hunt will be the next spotlight steal as he looks like he will be a great playmaker in the backfield for this elite Chiefs team.
