Kareem Hunt, RB, Kansas City Chiefs

FanDuel Price: $8,100
Projected Points: 20.1

After two straight weeks of primetime games, Kareem Hunt and the Kansas City Chiefs are back on the main slate.

And the stud running back comes into Week 8 riding a six-game scoring streak, with a total of nine touchdowns over that span.

He has also averaged an astounding 148.8 total yards over the past four games, starting with a 175-yard performance in his first matchup with the Denver Broncos, who he will see again in Week 8. That big game actually made Hunt one of three running backs to top 170 yards against the Broncos this year. Denver has only kept the opposing team's running backs out of the end zone twice in their seven games.

At a whopping 32.25 points, the Chiefs have the second-highest implied total this week. They are also the second-biggest favorites on the board at -10.0, leading our models to project Hunt to see the fourth-most (16.7) carries in the league.

You will want as much of the Chiefs' offense as you can fit in this week and that starts with Hunt.
