Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Why You Must Add RB Kendall Hunter

It's no secret that running backs have been a bit of a disappointment this season. If you wasted a high pick on Jamaal Charles, Chris Johnson or Arian Foster, you're probably hurting at that position right now.

Well, don't worry, because I've got the perfect sleeper for you: Kendall Hunter.

Who? Exactly.

Kendall is the backup RB for the San Francisco 49ers, and with Frank Gore looking more and more hobbled (another disappointing back so far this season), Kendall could be seeing an increased workload that could really help you out if you're dying for help at that position.

It's not like Kendall has set the world on fire when he has been in the game, but at least he found his way to the end zone against the Cincinnati Bengals last week. That's a good sign.

Looking ahead, Kendall also has games coming up against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who allowed 312 rushing yards in their first two games. It might seem like a bit of a stretch, but if Gore can't go for any reason, you automatically will find yourself with a running back who will most likely get all of the workload next week, which is a rare thing in the league now.

At the very least, you have Kendall splitting carries with Gore. The Niners aren't going to risk giving him a full workload right now with his health in question, so Kendall could steal some of those yards and maybe even another TD.
