STM Take
Hunt's 2025 finish at STTM #28 tier 7 (from #18 tier 5 in 2024) is the late-career step down that hit him at age 30. The career line still shows the 2017 rookie rushing title and a 2018 tier-1 finish; the recent line shows three sub-9 PPR weeks in the final five games of 2025. The veteran role is now situational.
Hunt was born in Elyria, Ohio, attended Toledo where he broke the school career rushing record (4,945 yards at 6.3 YPC) and was twice first-team All-MAC. Kansas City took him 86th overall in the 2017 NFL Draft. He led the NFL in rushing yards as a rookie, made the Pro Bowl, spent five years with Cleveland, and returned to KC for 2024-2025. Career line is 5,775 rushing yards at 4.1 YPC, 55 rushing TDs, and 267 catches for 2,209 yards.
Strengths
- Career 267 catches for 2,209 yards; the pass-game role is one of the deepest among veteran RBs.
- 55 career rushing TDs and 18 receiving TDs; the goal-line history is real even in reduced workload years.
Concerns
- 10-rank slide from 2024 to 2025; the trajectory at age 30 is going the wrong way fast.
- Recent game log includes a 0.2 PPR week and three sub-6 PPR weeks; the floor games are now the norm.
What to watch: Whether the Chiefs hold a 2026 roster spot for him post-Walker arrival, or whether the role compresses out entirely.
