Isiah Pacheco

The Chiefs are re-signing RB Kareem Hunt to a one-year deal. It has a base value of $1.5 million with another $1 million available in incentives, according to insider Jordan Schultz. It's a cheap contract for a 29-year-old who was forced into a significant role last season. Hunt joins Isiah Pacheco and Elijah Mitchell in Kansas City's backfield for now. The Chiefs are still a candidate to add to the depth chart in next month's draft.

He returned as an injury replacement for Isiah Pacheco.

Per FOX NFL's Jordan Schultz, Hunt can make another million dollars via incentives. The veteran back re-joined Kansas City early in the 2024 season after Isiah Pacheco went down with a broken leg. Hunt was one of the league's least explosive backs but did get what was blocked more often than not, making him a high-floor option for a team that doesn't place much emphasis on its ground game. Even when Pacheco returned, the Chiefs kept Hunt in a 1A role, giving him an average of 9.1 carries per game with Pacheco active. Kansas City also took a dart throw on Elijah Mitchell in free agency, putting another name in the mix for touches. This is shaping up to be one of the league's least exciting backfield committees for fantasy purposes once again.
