Kareem Hunt News
Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt hopes to secure an extension with the club. He's entering the final year of his current deal, and while he has acknowledged that there have been discussions between both parties, nothing has come of it. Despite losing touches to Nick Chubb over the years, Hunt is considered by many to be the best backup in the league. He had his most productive season in Cleveland in 2020, where he had 841 rushing yards, 304 receiving yards, and 11 total touchdowns. However, the 26-year-old spent a significant portion of the 2021-22 campaign on the shelf due to injury. Nonetheless, if Hunt remains healthy, he has an excellent chance to see a substantial uptick in production come September, regardless of how negotiations with the franchise pan out.
Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt is very much in the team's plans for the 2022 season despite a surplus of running backs on the roster. Hunt is viewed as a valuable member of the offense while heading into the final year of his contract at a maximum of $6.25 million. The two sides haven't engaged in contract-extension talks, but he isn't in jeopardy of being the odd man out in the RB room. The offense could feature more of Hunt and Nick Chubb on the field together. The 26-year-old's fantasy stock will probably be down because he played in only eight games due to injury while rushing for 386 yards and five touchdowns on 78 carries. He also had 22 catches for 174 yards. In an offense that should be much more explosive with quarterback Deshaun Watson running the show, a healthy Hunt will still have plenty of value, mostly in PPR leagues.
Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt (ankle) is inactive for the Week 18 regular season finale against the Cincinnati Bengals. Hunt had a disappointing season thanks to nine missed games due to injury. Not having his versatile skills out of the backfield behind Nick Chubb really hurt a Browns offense that lacked many big-time playmakers at the receiving position. The 26-year-old finishes the year with 78 carries for 386 yards and five touchdowns while also catching 22 of 27 targets for 174 yards in eight games played. D'Ernest Johnson, who came off the COVID-19 list on Saturday, will serve as Chubb's backup in the meaningless season finale. Johnson didn't have much of a role behind Chubb in Week 17 and isn't likely to be fantasy relevant on Sunday.
