Fantasy Football, Week 7: High value plays for FanDuel
By Dylan Broady
Kareem Hunt, Kansas City Chiefs, $7,800
Kareem Hunt has come on strong as of late. Many owners were worried about Hunt’s production coming into the 2018 season with the departure of former starting quarterback Alex Smith and Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy. He has proven he is an every-week player and Andy Reid has showcased his skill set very well this season. In Week 6 against the New England Patriots, Hunt amassed 185 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown. Hunt has another strong matchup against the Bengals in Week 7.
With Hunt coming into the week at his current price and his amazing matchup, he is absolutely a high-value candidate. The Bengals defense has been absolutely atrocious through six games. They have allowed a total of 409.2 yards, 292 passing yards, 117.2 rushing yards and 26.3 points per game. Hunt has the opportunity to feast Sunday night and you should without a doubt take advantage.
Kansas City has no doubt been the most exciting team to watch. Hunt has played a major role in that and for his team. He has helped his young exciting quarterback settle in during tough stretches and tough matchups. The Chiefs arguably boast the league’s most complete offense, averaging 418.5 total yards per game.
Hunt himself has amassed a total of 456 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 103 total carries, while adding 171 receiving yards and two touchdowns on 10 receptions.
Prediction: 100 rushing yards, 100 receiving yards, 3 total touchdowns
