Kareem Hunt

Week 14 at Cincinnati Bengals

Kareem Hunt's 9 carries last week against the Texans were his most since the Browns returned from their bye week in Week 10. He also posted his highest rushing total since Week 2 with 56 yards. However, he just missed a double-digit fantasy day and hasn't had one since Week 8...which happens to be the team Hunt faces this week, the Bengals. But as Deshaun Watson shakes off the rust, you wonder if that will mean the work comes at Hunt's expense. Hunt is a flex option, at best, with six teams on a bye this week. And now isn't the time to get cute in fantasy.

Week 12 vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Kareem Hunt actually out-rushed Nick Chubb against the Bills. Of course, that's not saying much when Chubb rushed for just 19 yards and Hunt ended up with 32. He did add two catches for 22 yards. The bottom line is Hunt continues to take a backseat in the Browns' offense and has become touchdown-dependant for fantasy purposes. Against the Buccaneers and with every team playing this week, that's a tough gamble, especially if you're fighting for a playoff position.

Week 10 at Miami Dolphins

Kareem Hunt saw double-digit carries in Week 8, the first time in three games. Perhaps that was a way to make him happy before the trade deadline, in which the Browns ultimately kept Hunt. Week 10 brings a tough matchup for the Browns and Hunt remains in the backseat to Nick Chubb. Hunt is a bit of a gamble, even as a flex option.
