Running back Kareem Hunt is a fantasy football draft sleeper and potential steal in the middle rounds of fantasy football drafts. Target him as an RB value pick.
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~48 Overall
CURRENT ADP: ~64
ANALYSIS: After returning from suspension last season, Kareem Hunt took a bite out of the production of Nick Chubb. In those eight games, Hunt out-snapped Chubb in six of them. He also took a large chunk of the targets, but keep in mind that Odell Beckham Jr. is still a Cleveland Brown, along with Jarvis Landry and now TE Austin Hooper too.
Hunt will be a major part of this offense's run game, though. Not only is he as talented as Chubb on those plays, but he is far better in the pass game also making him a more well-rounded do-it-all RB. This means the current price of a sixth-round pick for Hunt is a far better value than using a late first on Nick Chubb. Chubb will need to duplicate his rushing totals from last season. While this might happen, his receiving numbers will plummet. This will far outweigh the rushing numbers he will put up for Cleveland.
The best thing Cleveland did this offseason was to sign Jack Conklin to a contract to solidify the right side of their offensive line. By doing so and drafting Jedrick Wills Jr. for the left side, the Browns should move from one of the worst lines in the NFL to a top 15 line--or at least one good enough for Baker Mayfield to have time to throw. If that happens, Bakers will find Hunt open quite often.
The Cleveland Browns should have things a little more figured out in 2020 and for someone as talented as Hunt to be drafted in sixth-round is sleeping a little bit on the man. Go ahead and pay a little bit more for him; you might very well be adding a league-winner to your roster.
