5. The return of Kareem Hunt

Nearly six years since he last played for the Chiefs, it appears that Hunt will begin his journey to redemption on Sunday; he was signed to the 53-man roster this week.

He will be joined by running backs Samaje Perine and rookie Carson Steele in the backfield, giving the Chiefs a powerful trio of rushers. 87 of Steele’s 99 rushing yards this season have come after contact. Perine forced three missed tackles over nine touches in Week 3.

Last season, Hunt was used as a red-zone back for the Cleveland Browns. He scored a career-high nine touchdowns — all of them coming from inside the 20-yard line; six came in goal-to-go situations.

He also caught a touchdown pass in Cleveland’s playoff game. That’s an underrated part of what Hunt can bring to the table. It’ll be intriguing to watch him with the ball in his hands, whether it’s on a handoff or a dump-off to the flat.
