Kareem Hunt is a fantasy football waiver wire pickup option for running backs. Target him as a free agent add off waivers for Week 15 of the 2023 NFL season.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 60% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Kareem Hunt’s availability has increased in recent weeks, which currently leaves him attainable in 40% of all leagues. That has also fueled Hunt’s reemergence in this column, as his role in a rotation with Jerome Ford can supply fantasy managers with a viable starting option.
Hunt has now accumulated 220 snaps since his season debut in Week 3. He has also carried 111 times while assembling 361 yards on the ground. The seven-year veteran has also run 108 routes and collected 11 of his 14 targets.

That includes Hunt’s usage and output when the Browns hosted Jacksonville in Week 14, as he played on 28 snaps, amassed 10 rushing attempts, and produced 27 rushing yards. Hunt also delivered his seventh rushing touchdown of the season.
Cleveland will host Chicago on Sunday, before visiting Houston and returning home to face the Jets in Week 17. Hunt can be infused into your lineups as a flex option and his significance as a roster asset would rise if the currently-banged-up Ford were to be sidelined during the Browns' remaining matchups.
