Kareem Hunt Fantasy

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt carried the ball 13 times for 51 yards and added a two-yard reception in a 31-21 win over the Houston Texans in Week 2. In a rare occurrence, Hunt actually out-touched starting running back Nick Chubb, 14 to 12, in the win. Hunt was effective with his touches, running hard and fighting for extra yards when his number was called. Unfortunately for fantasy gamers, he did not find the end zone and didn't do his normal amount of damage in the passing attack. Hunt will remain a solid flex play going forward as he gets set to take on the Chicago Bears in Week 3.

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt found the end zone in his team's Week 1 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. He will look to score again in Week 2's home matchup against the Houston Texans. Hunt should benefit from the matchup as the Texans allowed the second-most fantasy points per game to running backs in 2020. While he will see fewer touches than starter Nick Chubb, Hunt should still see a sizable workload in a game where the Browns are 12.5-point home favorites and shouldn't have to throw the ball all that frequently. Treat Hunt as a high-end RB3/solid flex option for Week 2.

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt carried the ball six times for 33 yards and a touchdown in a 33-29 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 1. He also played a role in the passing attack, catching all three of his targets for 28 yards. Hunt found the end zone on a two-yard rush in the fourth quarter to give Cleveland a 29-20 lead at the time. The veteran running back continues to play second fiddle to starter Nick Chubb, but his nose for the end zone, coupled with his skills in the passing game, keeps him on the radar as a solid RB3 for fantasy purposes. He gets a plus matchup against the Houston Texans in Week 2.
