Kareem Hunt...sell or hold?

[jgcrawfish 232]

Dude is not getting into the endzone anymore and still has that rookie wall to hit later this season. I have him in one league where my roster is a bit thin and I was thinking about selling him. Wondering what the wisdom of the people says about him.

[bandrus1 413]

All depends what you get for him

[thePRO 78]

Thanks Andy Reid. I would hold on though. I don't think this can last ROS, but once again it is Andy Reid. I think they get back to running, especially since they lost their last two games.

[lesjroza 70]

Agreed.

 

The rookie wall is real when a RB has as many touches as Hunt has seen. A good chunk of his production has come later in the second half of games from the Chiefs wearing down opponents so far and if Hunt himself is a bit worn later in the year, I'm not sure that can continue to the same extent. Additionally, opponents are becoming enlightened to the Chiefs using Hunt on pass routes almost exclusively rather than pass-blocking so defenses should be a bit more able to limit him.

 

He is not going away but I also think he has seen his best production for '17 for sure and it trends down from here............expect when it starts to be obvious West will get a few more touches per game as well.

[weepaws 2,452]

This is a very interesting issue.

 

I own Hunt also in my 14 teamer.

 

And it's interesting that KC hasn't scored more rushing tds.

 

Been thinking about maybe making an offer.

 

For a top flight wr.

[bandrus1 413]

I tried selling foe Thompson and Crabtree and got shot down

[Oriole8159 86]

I was a Spencer Ware owner last year, and his production tapered off big time in the 2nd half. By the time it got to the playoffs, he was merely a matchup based starter even though he was still their primary back.

I kick myself still for not thinking to sell him high midway through the season.

 

With that in mind, Hunt is a significantly better player, so I wouldn't be as concerned about him. He should still be a no-brainer every week starter going forward.

If you can get a great deal back for him, then don't be afraid to pull the trigger, but I wouldn't give him away either. Get a similar Top 10 player with a good 2nd half schedule and a flex option at a position of need should be the minimum though.

[Joey Gladstone 33]

Reid and penchant for getting cute. I'd trade him for Gurley or McCoy (sexy schedule Ros).

[seafoam1 1,878]

I am keeping him. I would rather have him over any other back other than Bell.Just look at some of the teams rosters in your league. There are not many strong consistent backs out there.

[stonewall 647]

Just moved Hunt for Brady. (lost Rodgers)

[mark32esu 18]

Andy Reid is an idiot and it's killing Hunt's value. He pretty much always takes him out in the RZ and on passing downs. At this rate his only chance of scoring are long plays. Did I mention Andy Reid is an idiot?

[LoOnAtIk 75]

i would hold unless i'm getting offers in the value of Bell, Zeke, DJ prior to season. Only Bell carries more trade value at this point. Hunt is still performing like a stud. The TDs will come.

 

Unless my socks are being blown off, I'm holding onto Hunt.

[jgcrawfish 232]

it's funny, i thought about moving him for McCoy and something else if I could. At this point, any astute owner of Gurley won't trade him for Hunt straight up.

The fuuuuuuuuu............

[Challenger 72]

The fuuuuuuuuu............

Hahaha right, in our league, Brady wouldnt even be able to get Cooper pre breakout!

 

At the same time we have River in the WW... we all live in such different leagues.

[stonewall 647]

Yeah....everyone's league and situation is different. The trade also had me getting D Henry and sending Hundley. Had to have a top 5 QB to stay competitive after losing Rodgers. Rest of my RB corp is pretty good, and now have the D. Henry lotto ticket too. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

 

Winning this league simply is not possible without a top-shelf QB.

[Maulers1973 117]

He still leads the league in rushing yards. I won't consider trading him, but the Big Red buffoon better wise up!

I drafted cousins and wentz and hunt. Wooodhoooo.

Yeah, that Rivers you're talking about is my starting QB. Trying desperately to get an upgrade but not willing to sacrifice my team for it. I tried to work a deal with the team that has Brady and Wentz but he was asking for Le'Veon Bell, which ain't happening.

I like having Hunt better. I would rather have Hunt and McCown than Brady and no Hunt. Oh well. Thats just me

[Challenger 72]

I am with you there. The drop off from RB1 to RB2 and RB2 to RB3 are a cliff.

Ware got a concussion mid season and wasnt the same after

[tanatastic 2,061]

So basically just pretend you didnt lose Rodgers, but Hunt got hurt instead. Out of the frying pan, into the fire. Your QB problem was easier to fix than your RB problem now.

Not hardly. Wire QB's were the likes of Beathard and Kizer. I am 6-1, which makes a difference in this decision. I have to have a Top-shelf QB to stand a chance down the stretch.

 

Besides getting D. Henry in the trade also, I have Martin and have managed to snag McKinnon and Lat..... and have DJ hoping for a late return. This was the right move without question.

How can you even say it's a right move when no games even happened after your trade yet. You didn't just traded a bench player, you traded your RB1 for a QB1, give it some time and come back with the swag.

Swag? Are you smoking crack?

 

Win or lose, it was the right move for me. I was not gonna win with Kizer....period.

[IGotWorms 3,302]

The rookie wall is real.

 

That said, no way in hell Id trade him for a focking QB

You saying Goff, McClown, Manning, Bortles, Brissett, Sieman, or Dalton is not on the WW? If so, then you just a plain liar.

A vastly superior smart person that's yet to truly dominant would.

[Bier Meister 1,512]

hunt is someone i would want to hold onto, but he could potentially improve two other potions (2 for 1). if the combo is right i would deal him. but....no need to

[stonewall 647]

Exactly. I certainly didn't want to. Need based only.....and I did get Henry also, which the flamers in here want to ignore. They also seem oblivious to fact that you cannot marry yourself to a name or a position, no matter how much you like him. You play to win the trophy.

 

6 point QB TD leagues with 1 point/20 yards require a great QB. An unforeseen injury to the leagues best QB (Rodgers) requires a serious pivot if you hope to remain competitive. Every year there are WW RB's that come on and win leagues.....but rarely with a QB. If I wanted a CHANCE to win, I had to significantly upgrade at QB.....period. Certainly may still lose in the end, but at 6-1 with pretty good RB's remaining and glued to the weekly waiver wire, I at least still have a chance....especially now that I married up Brady and Gronk. But with a scrub QB and Hunt....just ain't happening.

 

If the FF geniuses in here would have done things differently, then more power to you, brother.....but I fail to see any benefit in being a smart mouth about it......unless it is just to expose yourself as such.

[Bier Meister 1,512]

i am not bagging on you. with hunt- i get stingy and ask for a lot. i would have np attaining brady. i am mixed on henry, not because i think he is a bad player, but because tenn has not run the ball well with either back. both have had a big breakaway TD, but generally not getting decent ypc. also they have not handed henry the baton yet..... so for your situation i likely would have looked for a more productive rb..... or improve wr/te

Sorry...wasn't referring to you Bier. Agreed with your statement.....and you are right....Henry is simply a lotto ticket at this point.

[the spanker 28]

I'm in a full point ppr and I dealt Hunt for Hopkins.

[seafoam1 1,878]

Maybe you can trade him for Ajayi. Haha. Why get rid of one of the best FF assets at the thinnest position in the game?

[Crystal Meth Tweekers 26]

Zekes last year

 

15 games 322 carries 1631 yards plus he had 32 catches for 363 also. I don't remember him hitting a rookie wall.

[The Football Guru 211]

I don't think it is merely coincidence Hunt's big plays have dropped dramatically with OG Laurent Duvernay-Tardif (last three games) and C Mitch Morse (last five) out due to injury. Both could return this week.

[weepaws 2,452]

That's a very good point, and that's why I haven't made an offer to deal Hunt.

 

I can use a top flight wr but I'm still not so sure I'm not giving up to much at the Rb position.

 

I've been thinking about it but I'm sure I won't do it.

 

He's been avg 23 points per game in ppr and only A Brown is close at 20 per game.

 

So after looking into it I'm keeping him.

[thisdman 0]

Traded him prior to week 6 game along with Maclin for D. Adams, L. Miller, and D. Martin. Lost OBJ and wanted to spread out the bullets somewhat. If Hunt got hurt my season was shot. The Rodgers injury certainly didn't help me much. We shall see. My trade partner owns Bell.

[stonewall 647]

Not good.

 

Although, the 2nd half of the season does look a bit more RB-friendly.
