Hunt vs NE
Powell vs Buffalo

Standard league. Thinking of going powell. Recent reports have come out that Kansas City that west and spiller will see action because of Hunt'being a rookie and pass blocking. Which would you start this week based on this info and matchups? This is for my flex position

I would probably go Powell week 1 until we see what the actual plan for Hunt is. I think the KC RB share is more coach speak, but I would go the conservative route still.

I would go Hunt. He is the Clear starter that's been confirmed. The OC remarks definitely sounds like coach speak. And Forte is technically the starter for the Jets. I think you gotta go with the Starter

I agree it's Hunt for the reasons listed and honestly don't think it is close at all.

I would go with the upside in Hunt. There isn't anything in the Jets offense that is 'safe'.

Hunt. Both are far more valuable in a PPR, jets are awful so the chance of them scoring any TDs is low, I think Powell is almost unplayable in non ppr


Hunt is on a good offensive team and NEs defense will be in bend but don't break mode and have a weakness on the edge.

I believe Powell is going to have the keys as much as Hunt will week 1, fwiw. I would just like to see what Hunt is made of first is all I'm saying. There's no doubt Hunt is in a better offense and better set up to be the better option as the season goes along though, and you probably couldn't really going wrong with either choice this week.

I'm in 3 leagues and own Hunt in all 3, I picked him up in rounds 3, 4, and 5 in the drafts. I'm hoping for big things once Ware went out, the KC RB usually puts up decent numbers and I would roll him out ahead of Powell. The Jets are a dumpster fire
