Week 16 NFL FanDuel Salary Movers

Running Back

Kareem Hunt, Kansas City Chiefs

Week 15 Salary: $7,400
Week 16 Salary: $8,300

The biggest two price movers of the week were actually Ezekiel Elliott and Alex Collins, whose prices increased by $2,300 and $1,700, respectively. However, Zeke's price was artificially low because of his suspension, and Collins is playing on the Saturday slate, which isn't very important this week from a DFS perspective. Similarly, the next two biggest movers -- Alfred Morris (-$1,400) and Rod Smith (-$1,000) -- are directly related to Zeke coming back, and they won't be fantasy relevant. That leaves a handful of backs with price moves just under $1,000, and Kareem Hunt wins the lottery to be included in this article.

It's amazing what happens when you give good players the ball. Somewhere along the line, Andy Reid forgot what he had in Hunt, and fantasy owners and Chiefs fans across the world screamed out of sheer frustration. However, Reid gave up play-calling duties to offensive coordinator Matt Nagy, and the Chiefs are finally back on track due in large part to Hunt being part of the offensive equation again. From Week's 9 to 13, Hunt touched the ball on average only 14.5 times. In the past two weeks, however, that number has more than doubled to 29.5, and he has averaged 172 total yards and 28.7 FanDuel points in the process.

This week, Hunt and the Kansas City Chiefs get a matchup against a Miami Dolphins defense that is giving up the fifth-most FanDuel points per game to running backs on the season. They are on the road for the second straight week, coming off of a game in which LeSean McCoy totaled 96 yards and a pair of scores. The Chiefs are 10-point favorites at home with an implied total of 26.5, so the game script should be positive for another huge second half from Hunt as the Chiefs look to wrap up the division with a win. His price may have risen $900 this week, but his output should more than make up for that increase.

Other Big Movers

Latavius Murray, Minnesota Vikings: $6,200 > $7,100 (He's an RB1 over the past five weeks. Start him with confidence again.)

Jerick McKinnon, Minnesota Vikings: $5,900 > $6,700 (The Vikings are nine-point favorites. Both Minnesota backs should get a lot of usage.)

Alvin Kamara, New Orleans Saints: $9,100 > $8,500 (A $600 price drop on Kamara? Sign me up.)

Todd Gurley, Los Angeles Rams: $8,400 > $9,100 (His price could be $1,000 higher, and he'd still be a bargain.)
