An injury to Isiah Pacheco led to the Chiefs adding Hunt to their roster in mid-September. His best fantasy value came from his first game (Week 3) to his sixth start (125/449/5 with 14 catches for 114 yards) despite gaining only 3.

Hunt, who was a free agent in early September, led the Chiefs with 728 rushing yards and seven touchdowns this season.

Hunt actually began his career in Kansas City, chosen in the same draft class as Patrick Mahomes, who quickly became one of his best friends. He ran for more than 1,300 yards as a rookie for a franchise only beginning its ascent in the NFL, earning a Pro Bowl nod and finishing second to Alvin Kamara in voting for AP Rookie of the Year.
