Hunt took nine carries for 20 yards and a touchdown with no targets as a receiver in Wednesday's 29-10 win over the Steelers.
Hunt finished as the Chiefs' leading rusher after starter Isiah Pacheco (ribs) was knocked out of the contest in the first half. The veteran backup struggled to move the ball against Pittsburgh's stout interior defense, but he rewarded fantasy managers with his second touchdown in as many games. The severity of Pacheco's injury is still unclear, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him be held out of the Chiefs' Week 18 game against the Denver after Kansas City clinched the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs with Wednesday's win. Hunt could see a slight boost in projections if Pacheco sits out against Denver, though the Chiefs could also look to limit Hunt's usage to some degree with little at stake in the regular-season finale.
