Kareem Hunt Fantasy

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt told ESPN that he "learned" from an arrest in January where police found marijuana and an open bottle of vodka in his car. Hunt admitted to the police that he would fail a drug test for marijuana if given one at the time. He stated, "I would say that was out of character. I've been working to become a better person each and every day. Definitely not looking for anything like that to happen again." Cleveland reporter Scott Petrak also tweeted that Hunt would like to sign an extension with the team and that the running back "would not mind playing for the Browns for a long time." As Cleveland's primary pass-catching back, Hunt has appeal as an RB3 in PPR leagues for the upcoming season.

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt has impressed pass-game coordinator Chad O'Shea as a receiver in the past. O'Shea told reporters that Hunt has been doing some cross-training with the wide receivers in the team's virtual meetings this offseason. The coach also added that Hunt brings "great value" to the position. Hunt is expected to slot in as the team's No. 2 running back and primary pass-catching RB in the 2020 season. He caught 37 passes in just eight games in 2019 and should hold standalone value as an RB2/3 in PPR leagues for the upcoming season.

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt, who led the NFL in rushing in 2017 with the Chiefs, is eager to get a full season under his belt as the team's No. 2 back behind Nick Chubb. Hunt has been somewhat of a forgotten man this offseason, but the Browns have a role for him and he has a chip on his shoulder and feels he has a lot to prove. "They run a lot of two backs," Hunt said. "I see myself just coming in and being a one-two (punch). You know, Nick and I just coming in and taking over the game every week." He should have standalone flex value in PPR leagues as this offense's pass-catching back. The 24-year-old managed 37 receptions in just half a season last year. If Chubb were to get hurt at all, Hunt would have tantalizing RB1 upside.
