Kareem Hunt Last-TD Scorer (+850)
The Chiefs and Eagles have superstars. Patrick Mahomes, Jalen Hurts, Travis Kelce, Xavier Worthy, Saquon Barkley, A.J. Brown, and DeVonta Smith are the headline grabbers, but even Dallas Goedert, Marquise “Hollywood” Brown, and DeAndre Hopkins have varying degrees of talent and name recognition.
Nevertheless, Kareem Hunt has been a critical player for the Chiefs, namely since Isiah Pacheco hasn’t been explosive or productive since returning from the Injured Reserve (IR). According to the data suite at Fantasy Points, in seven games since Pacheco has returned from the IR, he’s had 59 rush attempts, 205 rushing yards, 29.3 rushing yards per game, 3.47 yards per carry, one explosive rush, only 20.0% of Kansas City’s rush attempts inside the five-yard line, and zero rushing touchdowns.
Conversely, Hunt had 70 rush attempts, 259 rushing yards, 37.0 rushing yards per game, 3.70 yards per carry, 60.0% of the team’s rush attempts inside the five-yard line, and four rushing touchdowns. Interestingly, the Chiefs have had a balanced offense in scoring territory in the playoffs. On 10 plays inside the 10-yard line in the postseason, they’ve split passes and rushes down the middle.
The Eagles have a talented defense, but they’re not impenetrable on the ground, either. In Philadelphia’s last seven meaningful games (Week 14 through Week 17 and the playoffs), they’ve allowed 104.4 rushing yards per game, 4.15 yards per carry, and three rushing touchdowns with an underwhelming 43.1% stuff rate. Finally, the Chiefs are favored, enhancing the probability of Hunt salting the game away and possibly scoring the final touchdown.
