| Reunion: Veteran RB Kareem Hunt is signing with the #Chiefs practice squad, per source.

FFToday's Take: While reunions with a team's former standout is almost always noteworthy, the 29-year-old Hunt has not been a good running back in either of the last two seasons behind what was a good offensive line in Cleveland. Hunt's arrival and eventual addition to the active roster figures to make it tough for fantasy managers to place any trust in Carson Steele and Samaje Perine while Pacheco is out. There is also a chance Clyde Edwards-Helaire joins the fray at some point, which could make this whole backfield almost useless from a fantasy perspective. For what it is worth, Hunt will likely be little more than insurance - probably stealing no more than five touches per game - while Pacheco is out.
