STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Hunt's 1,327-yard rookie season is a rare third-round RB elite finish.

Kareem Hunt (2017, Round 3, KC) finished as a top-12 fantasy asset in his rookie season with 272 carries for 1,327 yards and 8 touchdowns, plus 53 receptions for 455 yards and 3 touchdowns, demonstrating that third-round running backs can deliver elite fantasy production; however, third-rounders have only a 25% top-36 hit rate and 7.1% top-12 hit rate, making Hunt an exceptional outlier.
