10 Fantasy Football Bust Candidates for 2018

Kareem Hunt, RB, Kansas City Chiefs

Average Draft Position: 1.11, RB8, 11th Overall

Let's circle back to the Chiefs, who have a lot of mouths to feed on offense and will be starting a quarterback with 35 career pass attempts under his belt.

To draft Kareem Hunt 11th overall is to assume the offense doesn't miss a beat and that the addition of Sammy Watkins and return of Spencer Ware don't eat into his workload.

That's quite possible. Head coach Andy Reid wants to get Hunt more involved with the passing game, and excluding Week 17, Hunt played at least 54% of the Chiefs' snaps in each game in 2017.

No first- or even second-round picks are clear bust candidates. And they should all produce given the anticipated volume. Hunt can still finish as a top-15 back and still be a letdown, however.

He is dealing with a hamstring injury that, apparently, lingered through the offseason. He also had multiple offseason incidents. Missing games isn't out of the question.

Being drafted before Leonard Fournette, Dalvin Cook, and a few others, Hunt, who may be the third or fourth option on his own team, has a few too many question marks to feel great about him in the first round.
