Kareem Hunt Fantasy

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt struggled in a 38-7 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 6. Hunt carried the ball 13 times for 40 yards and added two receptions for 17 yards in the lopsided loss. Cleveland's offense could never get untracked in the game as Baker Mayfield threw a first-quarter pick-six and struggled with a rib injury throughout. Hunt will be a good candidate to bounce back in Week 7 against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt (thigh) was limited in practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Hunt should be able to face the Steelers on Sunday, barring some kind of setback. He had a season-high 20 carries for 72 yards and caught three passes for 21 yards and a touchdown last week against the Colts. Even against a stingy Pittsburgh defense that has allowed the fourth-fewest fantasy points to running backs, Hunt's guaranteed high workload continues to make him a must-start RB1 with Nick Chubb still on Injured Reserve. He's scored three times through the air and three times on the ground this year, so Hunt is even more attractive in PPR leagues.

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt is off to an impressive start in 2020, having found the end zone six times in five contests. He will look to score again in Week 6's road game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Pittsburgh boasts a tough rush defense that is allowing the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing running backs. It will be strength vs. strength between these two division rivals as the Browns have one of the better run-blocking offensive lines and running games in the league. Hunt is locked in as an RB1 in fantasy for as long as Nick Chubb remains on injured reserve.
