All 60 yards come on ground
Hunt took 14 carries for 60 yards and was not targeted as a receiver in Sunday's 30-21 loss to the Bills.
Analysis: Hunt turned in an adequate effort on the ground in tough road environment while garnering 14 of Kansas City's 17 rushing attempts in its first loss of the season. The veteran's fantasy day has a little less luster when you factor in the lack of touchdowns and involvement as a receiver. It was Hunt's first game since rejoining the Chiefs in which he did not receive a target. This ironically comes on the heels of a seven-catch effort against Denver in Week 10. The real concerning news for…read more

Busy day as receiver Sunday
Hunt rushed 14 times for 35 yards and brought in seven of 10 targets for 65 yards in the Chiefs' 16-14 win over the Broncos on Sunday.
Analysis: Hunt unsurprisingly found running room at a premium against a stingy Broncos defense, but he made up for it by generating a team-high receiving yardage total and coming in second in both receptions and targets. All three components of Hunt's receiving line were season highs, while his carries and rushing yardage tallies tied and set a season low, respectively. Isiah Pacheco (IR, lower leg) is expected to remain out until later in November, so Hunt should remain in the lead-back role for a Week…read more

Submits full practice
Hunt (quadricep) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: For the second week in a row, Hunt is appearing on Kansas City's injury report with a listed quad issue, but his ability to practice fully Thursday clears up any concern about his availability for Sunday's game against the Broncos. With Isiah Pacheco (fibula) not expected to return from injured reserve until late November at the earliest, Hunt should be in line for at least two more outings as Kansas City's lead back. Though he's averaging a meager 3.7 yards per carry through five contests…read more

Limited to begin week again
Hunt (quadricep) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Hunt was limited in practice last Thursday due to the same injury but proceeded to upgrade to full participation before rushing for 106 yards and a touchdown in Monday's win over the Buccaneers. His fantasy managers will be hoping for a similar pattern ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos, with little indication at this point that the Chiefs have any meaningful concern regarding Hunt's Week 10 availability.

Scores game-winning TD
Hunt carried the ball 27 times for 106 yards and a touchdown while catching his lone target for 11 yards in Monday's 30-24 overtime win over the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Hunt was the hero for Kansas City in a tight affair that came down to overtime between cross-conference opponents. The veteran running back continues to be used more as a rusher than a receiver based on his previous run with the Chiefs. While that should be considered a negative in terms of fantasy evaluation, Hunt's hefty role as a pure rusher (22.2 rushing attempts per game) has helped offset his change in usage. With five touchdowns and healthy rushing totals over his last five games, Hunt…read more

Logs full practice Friday
Hunt (quadriceps) practiced fully Friday.
Analysis: Hunt opened Week 9 prep with a limited session Thursday, but his ability to handle all on-field work one day later clears up his status ahead of Monday's contest against the Buccaneers. In four appearances working as the Chiefs' primary running back this season, he's averaged 22.5 touches for 87 yards from scrimmage per game while scoring four TDs on the ground.

Limited by quad issue
Hunt (quad) was limited at practice Thursday.
Analysis: Hunt began Week 8 preparation with a limited practice last Wednesday due to a hip issue. This time around, the running back is contending with a quad concern, which makes his status worth monitoring ahead of Monday night's game against the Buccaneers. In the Chiefs' win over the Raiders this past Sunday, Hunt logged 42 snaps on offense en route to carrying 21 times for 58 yards and a TD while catching his only target for four yards.

Scores in win over Raiders
Hunt (hip) rushed 21 times for 58 yards and a touchdown while catching his lone target for four yards in Sunday's 27-20 win over Las Vegas.
Analysis: Hunt was dealing with a hip injury in practice this week, but he suited up without restrictions in Sunday's win. The veteran tailback eclipsed 20 carries for the third consecutive week since taking over as the starter in Kansas City. With four touchdowns in as many games, Hunt remains a strong fantasy option heading into next Monday's tilt against Tampa Bay.

Practices fully Thursday
Hunt (hip) practiced fully Thursday.
Analysis: Hunt was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, but his return to a full session one day later paves the way for him to continue to lead the Chiefs backfield Sunday against the Raiders. In this past weekend's 28-18 win over the 49ers, Hunt carried 22 times for 78 yards and two touchdowns while hauling in both of his targets for five yards. With 49 carries over his last two contests, Hunt once again looks like a fantasy-friendly option Week 8 considering the volume he's seeing…read more

Logs limited practice
Hunt was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice with a hip injury.
Analysis: In Sunday's 28-18 win over the 49ers, Hunt carried 22 times for 78 yards and two touchdowns while catching both of his targets for five yards. Hunt wasn't reported to have suffered an injury at any point during the contest, so his listed limitations Wednesday could have been maintenance-related more so than due to concern about the health of his hip. In any event, the running back will probably need to practice fully by Friday in order to approach this weekend's game against the Raiders without…read more

Continues to excel as starter
Hunt rushed 22 times for 78 yards and two touchdowns while corralling both of his targets for five receiving yards in Sunday's 28-18 win over San Francisco.
Analysis: Hunt maintained his status as lead back after churning out 102 rushing yards and a touchdown in his first official start for Kansas City in Week 5. The 29-year-old kept momentum rolling with another standout fantasy performance, this time punching in two scores on 20-plus touches against the 49ers on Sunday. Clyde Edwards-Helaire (reserve/NFI list) was activated earlier in the week to help replace the loss of starter Isiah Pacheco (fibula), but the former did not suit up for Sunday's contest.…read more

Highly effective in workhorse role
Hunt rushed 27 times for 102 yards and a touchdown and brought in his only target for 15 yards in the Chiefs' 26-13 win over the Saints on Monday night.
Analysis: Playing in only his second game of the season -- and as a Chief since 2018 -- Hunt handled a massive workload with aplomb while grinding out tough yardage throughout the night. Hunt's longest run was only eight yards, and his carry total was his highest since Week 16 of his rookie 2017 campaign. Hunt's involvement in the passing game was minimal despite his extensive body of work in that realm and the fact the Chiefs were down yet another pass catcher in Rashee Rice (IR, knee), but his…read more

Set to play Monday
Hunter does not carry an injury designation into Monday's contest against the Saints, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Meanwhile Clyde Edwards-Helaire (reserve/non-football illness list) is listed as doubtful and likely won't be activated come Monday. As a result, Hunt figures to once again command the most touches among a smorgasbord of available backfield options including Samaje Perine and Carson Steele, although the latter could remain in the doghouse with head coach Andy Reid after fumbling for a second consecutive week.

Another limited practice
Hunt (shoulder) remained limited at practice Friday.
Analysis: Hunt also was limited Thursday, so he'll presumably need to practice fully Saturday in order to avoid an injury designation ahead of Monday night's game against the Saints. In this past Sunday's 17-10 win over the Chargers, Hunt made his season debut and recorded a 45 percent snap share while carrying 14 times for 69 yards and adding two catches (on three targets) for 16 yards. On the heels of that effort, health permitting, he's poised to maintain a key role in Kansas City's Week 5 backfield,…read more

Analysis: In his season debut with the Chiefs, Hunt logged a 45 percent snap share in the team's Week 4 win over the Chargers en route to carrying 14 times for 69 yards and adding two catches (on three targets) for 16 yards. As Monday night's game against the Saints approaches, Hunt's status now is worth tracking.

Leads KC backfield
Hunt rushed the ball 14 times for 69 yards in Sunday's 17-10 win over the Chargers. He added two receptions on three targets for 16 yards.
Analysis: Carson Steele drew the start in Kansas City's backfield, but Hunt took over after Steele picked up only six yards on two carries and lost a fumble on the team's first three offensive possessions. Meanwhile, Hunt went on to clearly lead the team's backfield -- Steele and Samaje Perine logged only three and five touches, respectively -- while also displaying decent efficiency. The only downside to Hunt's potential role as the Chiefs' lead back is that he was subbed out for a goal-line carry in…read more

Part of three-man platoon
Head coach Andy Reid said Wednesday that Hunt will rotate in with the Chiefs' other running backs during Sunday's game against the Chargers, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Reid added that the team has three reliable healthy running backs in Carson Steele, Samaje Perine and Hunt, so all three are expected to play a role against the Chargers. Steele remains the favorite to handle the majority of reps on early downs after racking up 17 rushing attempts in Isiah Pacheco's (fibula) absence against the Falcons last Sunday. Hunt was added to the 53-man roster Tuesday after joining Kansas City's practice squad last week.

Joins active roster
Kansas City signed Hunt off its practice squad Tuesday.
Analysis: The team waived Keaontay Ingram to open up a spot on the roster for Hunt, who joins Carson Steele and Samaje Perine as options at running back while Isiah Pacheco (fibula) resides on injured reserve. In Kansas City's first game without Pacheco on Sunday, Steele led the way with 46 snaps on offense and 18 touches (17 carries for 72 yards, one reception for two yards), while Perine played 26 snaps and logged nine touches (six carries for 25 yards, three receptions for 15 yards). Given those…read more

Won't be elevated this week
Hunt won't be elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday night's game against the Falcons, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.
Analysis: With Isiah Pacheco (leg) on IR and slated to miss at least four games, Hunt is destined to claim a role in the Chiefs backfield once he's had more practice time with the team. For now, however, Carson Steele, Samaje Perine and Keaontay Ingram are available to handle the team's RB duties.

Could play Week 3
Head coach Andy Reid said Wednesday that there's a chance Hunt will play Sunday against the Falcons, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.
Analysis: Hunt is currently on Kansas City's practice squad, but the team plans to bring the running back up to speed with the playbook in the coming days and see where he's at as the week progresses. With Isiah Pacheco (leg) on injured reserve and slated to miss at least four games, Hunt should have a chance down the road to claim a role in a Chiefs backfield that also currently includes Carson Steele, Samaje Perine and Keaontay Ingram. With that in mind, Hunt merits consideration from those with enough…read more

Hunt signed with the Chiefs' practice squad Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: After meeting with the team Tuesday, Hunt quickly came to an agreement on a deal. He'll begin his second stint in the organization as a member of the practice squad, but the 29-year-old could be elevated to the active roster as soon as this Sunday's game in Atlanta, with Kansas City in need of backfield depth with Isiah Pacheco (fibula) expected to miss 6-to-8 weeks.

Set for visit with Chiefs
Hunt is slated to visit Kansas City on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Hunt will visit the Chiefs with Isaiah Pacheco (fibula) expected to undergo surgery and miss at least six weeks due to an injury suffered in Sunday's win over the Bengals. The veteran running back boasts familiarity with coach Andy Reid's offensive scheme and could join Samaje Perine and Carson Steele to help fill the void left behind by Pacheco's absence.

Undergoes sports hernia surgery
Hunt underwent surgery Tuesday to repair a ruptured adductor, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The veteran back joined the Browns in Week 3 after Nick Chubb suffered a season-ending knee injury. Hunt then spent much of the season getting listed regularly on the injury report due to a groin issue. The 28-year-old saw significant usage in the red zone and finished the season with 495 total yards to go along with a career-high nine touchdowns as he heads back into free agency.

Two touchdowns in loss
Hunt rushed the ball eight times for 26 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 45-14 loss to the Texans. He added five receptions on six targets for nine yards and another touchdown.
Analysis: Hunt's 13 touches matched his highest total since Week 9. He was inefficient with the opportunity but was the only Brown to find the end zone, first on a one-yard run early in the first quarter and again on an 11-yard reception one quarter later. Hunt worked in tandem with Jerome Ford for much of the season, but he's set to become a free agent this offseason and may not be retained by the Browns pending the health of Nick Chubb (knee).

Cleared to face Texans
Hunt (groin) doesn't carry an injury designation in advance of Saturday's wild-card game against the Texans, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Analysis: After being deemed a non-participant Tuesday, Hunt logged a limited session Wednesday before being listed as full Thursday. With his availability for Saturday's contest solidified, Hunt -- who was used sparingly in a Week 18 loss to the Bengals in a contest that had no playoff implications for the Browns -- now is in line to reclaim his key backfield role alongside starter Jerome Ford in a 1A/1B RB context that gives Hunt a degree of utility in fantasy lineups this weekend.

Hunt (groin) won't participate in Tuesday's practice, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Hunt was active for this past Sunday's 31-14 loss to the Bengals, but because the Browns were already locked in as the AFC's No. 5 seed, the coaching staff turned to third-stringer Pierre Strong (back) to handle a lead role in the backfield. Meanwhile, Hunt was limited to just seven snaps and finished with one touch -- a five-yard reception -- on the day, and usual starter Jerome Ford's usage was similarly light (19 snaps, five touches).

No designation for Week 18
Hunt (groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: Hunt has received the green light to play in the Browns' regular-season finale after he gradually increased his practice activity throughout the week, going from no activity Wednesday to limited participation Thursday before taking every rep during Friday's session.

Analysis: Despite making regular appearances on Cleveland injury reports since signing with the team in September, Hunt has played in each of the Browns' last 14 games. He likely would be able to play through the groin issue this Sunday against the Bengals if the Browns had something at stake, but with Cleveland locked into the No. 5 seed, head coach Kevin Stefanski could look to rest several key players in the regular-season finale.

To miss practice Wednesday
Hunt (groin) won't participate in Wednesday's practice, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: Hunt tended to a groin injury during Week 4 prep, then avoided the issue until Week 13, at which point it began to affect his practice reps. His efficiency has suffered over the last five games (2.7 yards on his 46 carries), but he's also scored three rushing touchdowns during that span. The Browns are locked in as the No. 5 seed in the AFC playoffs, so there's a chance they may rest Hunt with an eye toward having him in optimal health for the wild-card round.

Salvages night with TD
Hunt rushed 10 times for 31 yards and a touchdown and failed to bring in his only target in the Browns' 37-20 win over the Jets on Thursday night.
Analysis: Hunt logged only two fewer carries than backfield mate Jerome Ford, but he was far less efficient than the latter while posting just less than half the rushing yards. However, Hunt was the only one of the two to get into the end zone, cashing in via a seven-yard run in the first quarter. Hunt's carry total was his first of the double-digit variety in the last three games, but it remains to be seen how much usage he'll log in the Browns' Week 18 regular-season finale against the Bengals on Jan.…read more

He's yet to miss a game since signing with the team in September and should be ready to handle his usual role this Thursday as the No. 2 back behind Jerome Ford.

On the other four occasions, he didn't receive a game-day designation, and he's compiled 41 touches for 114 yards from scrimmage and two rushing TDs during that span.

Scores TD in Week 16 win
Hunt carried the ball seven times for 11 yards and a touchdown and caught two of four targets for five yards in Sunday's 38-22 win over the Texans.
Analysis: The veteran RB continues to see usage in the red zone as he scored his eighth touchdown in the last 11 games, but Hunt has gained more than 50 rushing yards only once during that stretch and has seen his targets dwindle as he works behind Jerome Ford. Even with Joe Flacco sparking the passing attack to life over the last month, the Browns' running game hasn't really benefitted, which will make Hunt a risky fantasy option in Week 17 against the Jets.

Hunt (groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Texans after participating fully in Friday's practice, Scott Petrak of The Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Analysis: Hunt has been playing through this groin injury for a while, so his limited participation in practice Wednesday and Thursday was likely just a case of load management for the veteran running back. He should occupy his usual role as the 1B option in Cleveland's backfield Sunday, as Jerome Ford (wrist) is also cleared to play after being limited in practice Wednesday.

Analysis: Hunt has been a fixture on Browns injury reports for several weeks due to the groin issue, but he has yet to miss a game since signing with the team in September. In the Browns' 20-17 win over the Bears this past Sunday, Hunt logged eight yards on seven carries and caught his lone target for 12 yards. Assuming he can shake off the groin injury ahead of this Sunday's game in Houston, Hunt will likely work in tandem with Jerome Ford (wrist) out of the backfield.

Twenty combined yards
Hunt rushed for eight yards on seven carries and caught his lone target for 12 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Bears.
Analysis: The combined yards were the fewest since Week 4, as the Bears shut down the Browns' rushing attack. Three of Hunt's carries came in the red zone, including a rush from the two-yard line, but he was unable to log what would have been his eighth TD. While Hunt plays second fiddle to Jerome Ford in terms of carries and playing time, his seven rushing touchdowns lead Cleveland.

Hunt snapped his three-game scoreless drought with a short touchdown last week against Jacksonville. He's seen double-digit carries in eight of the Browns' last nine games and is up to seven touchdowns through 11 contests.

Back at practice
Hunt (groin) returned to practice Thursday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Analysis: Hunt didn't practice Wednesday, but his return to the field a day later has him trending toward being available Sunday against the Bears. Over the last two weeks, Hunt followed absences from practice Wednesday with limited sessions Thursday and full practices Friday. There's a decent chance chance that pattern is repeated this week.

Not practicing Wednesday
Hunt won't participate in Wednesday's practice due to a groin injury, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: Hunt has tended to a groin issue in advance of three different games this season (Weeks 4, 13 and 14), but he's been able to suit up on each occasion. Fellow running back Jerome Ford emerged from this past Sunday's 31-27 win against the Jaguars with an injured wrist, but head coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that Ford avoided a fracture. Additionally, Ford also wasn't included among the team's list of non-participants in practice Wednesday, meaning he's expected to mix into drills in some…read more

Finds way back to end zone
Hunt rushed the ball 10 times for 27 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-27 win over the Jaguars.
Analysis: Hunt continued to split the backfield evenly with Jerome Ford, though he was the far less efficient back. Nevertheless, he continues to maintain the goal-line role in the Cleveland offense, as he managed a four-yard trip to the end zone to highlight his performance against the Jaguars. Hunt now has seven touchdowns on the season, all of which have come in the Browns' last nine games.

No injury designation vs. Jaguars
Hunt (groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: Hunt raised his practice participation throughout the week, upgrading from a DNP on Wednesday to limited Thursday before avoiding an injury designation thanks to a full practice Friday. He'll likely continue to split carries with Jerome Ford against Jacksonville, with Pierre Strong on hand in a change-of-pace role.

Hunt (groin) returned to a limited practice Thursday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: Hunt didn't practice Wednesday, but his return to a capped session Thursday has him moving in the right direction as Sunday's game against the Jaguars approaches. If the running back practices fully Friday, as he did last week while managing his groin injury, he'll have a chance to head into the weekend minus a Week 14 injury designation.

Not at practice
Hunt (groin) won't practice Wednesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Analysis: Hunt was listed with the same groin issue on the Browns' Week 13 injury report, but he ended up taking a team-high 12 carries for 48 yards in the 36-19 loss to Los Angeles this past Sunday. A return to practice Thursday would put him on track to play in this Sunday's game against Jacksonville, though perhaps in a secondary role off the bench behind inconsistent lead back Jerome Ford.

Leading rusher in loss
Hunt carried the ball 12 times for 48 yards and caught his only target for zero yards in Sunday's 36-19 loss to the Rams.
Analysis: The 28-year-old back actually led the Browns in carries and rushing yards, but Jerome Ford made the biggest impact with a receiving touchdown in the first quarter. Hunt has seen double-digit touches in seven of the last eight games while working in a timeshare with Ford, but he hasn't reached 50 scrimmage yards in five straight, leaving him a TD-dependent fantasy option heading into a Week 14 clash with the Jaguars.

Cleared for Sunday's game
Hunt (groin) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Rams after practicing fully Friday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: Hunt opened the week with an absence Wednesday, but he returned to a limited session Thursday before upgrading to full participation Friday. With Hunt officially in the clear for Week 13 action, he'll continue to be part of a 1-2 backfield combo that also features fellow RB Jerome Ford. Through nine games in that role, Hunt has averaged a modest 9.9 carries and 31.8 rushing yards, but the six rushing scores he's notched in that span offers a pace that keeps him on the fantasy lineup radar.

Analysis: Hunt didn't practice Wednesday, but his return to a limited session one day later bodes well for his chances of being available Sunday against the Rams. If he's available this weekend, Hunt will be in line to continue to work in tandem with fellow RB Jerome Ford, a context that has resulted in Hunt (who is averaging 9.9 carries and 31.8 rushing yards to go along with six TDS in nine games to date) maintaining a degree of weekly fantasy utility of late.

Sits Wednesday with groin injury
Hunt didn't practice Wednesday due to a groin injury, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Analysis: Hunt dealt with a groin injury earlier in the season, though it's unclear if his absence Wednesday was related to the prior issue or is a new concern. Either way, Hunt may have been playing hurt in this past Sunday's 29-12 loss to Denver, as Hunt's seven carries in that game marked his lowest total since Week 4. Hunt will have two more opportunities to return to practice this week, but if he fails to do so, additional backfield touches could be in store for Jerome Ford and/or Pierre Strong in…read more

Single-digit touches in loss
Hunt carried seven times for 22 yards and was not targeted in Sunday's 29-12 loss to the Broncos in Week 12.
Analysis: This marked the first time in seven games that Hunt (19 snaps) was limited to single-digit touches. In the wake of Jerome Ford's high-ankle injury in Week 7, Hunt's workload increased to the point where head coach Kevin Stefanski described the two backs as his 1A and 1B. It appears now that Ford (51 snaps, nine rushes, seven targets) is the clear No. 1 back, although Hunt's red-zone usage still give him some fantasy appeal. The team's situation at quarterback could also impact how much volume…read more

Touchdown streak ends
Hunt rushed the ball 12 times for 36 yards in Sunday's 13-10 win over the Steelers.
Analysis: Hunt saw an exactly even split in carries with Jerome Ford and was the more productive of the duo on a yards-per-carry basis. However, Hunt was on the sideline for the Browns' only touchdown of the game, which ended his five-game touchdown streak. Overall, Hunt has fewer than 50 rushing yards in all but one game this season, so he's reliant upon finding the end zone to deliver fantasy-relevant stat lines.

Scores in fifth straight
Hunt rushed the ball 10 times for 32 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 33-31 win over the Ravens.
Analysis: Hunt logged seven fewer carries than Jerome Ford and was far less impressive with his opportunity. However, he maintained a significant role deep in the opposition's territory, which he converted into a three-yard touchdown late in the third quarter. Hunt now has a touchdown in each of his last five games despite never topping 55 rushing yards in that span.

Hunt rushed 14 times for 38 yards and a touchdown and failed to bring in his only target in the Browns' 27-0 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.
Analysis: Hunt once again played a significant role in the ground attack, although he was six carries behind Jerome Ford on the day. The veteran back has back-to-back 14-carry tallies and has notched double-digit totes in four straight games overall heading into a Week 10 road battle with the Ravens, but most important from a fantasy perspective, he's now scored five rushing touchdowns in the latter span.

Hunt rushed the ball 14 times for 55 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Seahawks. He added one reception for 12 yards.
Analysis: Hunt split carries three ways with Pierre Strong and Jerome Ford, though he managed to lead the way with 15 total touches. He wasn't particularly efficient on the ground as he failed to crack a gain of double-digit yards, though he turned in a decent fantasy performance thanks to a one-yard touchdown run late in the second quarter.

Hunt rushed the ball 10 times for 31 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 39-38 win over the Colts. He did not record a reception on one target.
Analysis: Hunt spent most of the game as the complementary option to Jerome Ford (ankle), the latter of whom exited the game early in the fourth quarter. Hunt saw only two carries thereafter, one of which went for the game-winning touchdown. Ford was spotted with a boot on his right ankle after the game, meaning it's possible that Hunt will lead the backfield for a Week 8 matchup against the Seahawks.

Analysis: Hunt missed practice Wednesday after logging season highs for carries (12), touches (15), yards (71) and snap share (37 percent) in a 19-17 win over the 49ers this past Sunday. Jerome Ford still led the team in carries (18) and rushing yards (87), but it's possible Hunt's share of the backfield continues to grow moving forward.

Hunt rushed 12 times for 47 yards and a touchdown while catching all three of his targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 19-17 win over the 49ers.
Analysis: Hunt scored from 16 yards out in the second quarter after taking a toss from tight end Harrison Bryant on a play set up to look like a Bryant sneak from under center. That creative play accounted for Cleveland's only touchdown, but Hunt's score plus four field goals and stingy defense added up to a win despite Deshaun Watson's (shoulder) absence.

Hunt immediately entered the game on the team's first drive and continued to mix in periodically throughout the rest of the contest.

Reportedly playing 10 pounds lighter than he did in 2022, Hunt will start out competing with Pierre Strong as Ford's change of pace in the wake of Nick Chubb's season-ending knee injury suffered in Week 2.

Heads to free agency
Hunt, who returned to Sunday's game after being evaluated for a head injury, finished with four carries for 13 yards and caught three of four targets for 15 yards in a 28-14 loss to Pittsburgh in Week 18.
Analysis: In terms of combined yards, the 28 were Hunt's most since Week 13. Coming off a three-touch, minus-1 yard performance in Week 17, it seems Hunt was given a chance to showcase his wares in advance of the free-agent market this offseason. The year began as an effort to make Hunt and Nick Chubb work as a tandem backfield, but the plan devolved as Cleveland's season went sideways.

Three touches in win
Hunt had two carries for zero yards and caught his only target for minus-1 yard in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Commanders in Week 17.
Analysis: This was a season low in touches and yards for Hunt, who played 18 snaps for a 32-percent share in what could have been his penultimate game in a Browns uniform. His contract is up after this season, and the organization appears to have shifted to the future after it was eliminated from the postseason in Week 16. Rookie running back Jerome Ford was given a season-high seven offensive snaps and had five carries for nine yards, a sign that he will become the top backup to Nick Chubb in 2023.

Analysis: The weather was conducive to a big workload for the ground attack, but Hunt still logged 17 fewer carries than backfield mate Nick Chubb. Hunt's carry total was his second highest since Week 5 and his catch tally a high-water mark since Week 8, but his game-to-game workload is anything but trustworthy heading into a Week 17 road matchup against the Commanders on Sunday, Jan. 1.

Tallies 27 total yards
Hunt had four carries for 24 yards and caught his lone target for three yards in Saturday's 13-3 win over the Ravens in Week 15.
Analysis: Hunt's five touches were his second-fewest of the season, and he was held to under 30 combined yards for the third time in the last four games. The 27-year-old back hasn't found the end zone since Week 7.

Six touches in loss
Hunt rushed four times for six yards and caught two of four targets for another six yards in Sunday's 23-10 loss to Cincinnati.
Analysis: The Bengals did a good job of taking away the Browns' running game, and Hunt's 12 combined yards was his second fewest in 13 games this season. He had three red-zone carries and a target, giving him 24 rushes and six targets inside the opponents' 20-yard line on the year, so Nick Chubb's backup could still be a fantasy factor despite his declining workload.

Tallies 74 total yards
Hunt rushed the ball nine times for 56 yards in Sunday's 27-14 win over the Texans. He added two receptions on three targets for 18 yards.
Analysis: While a modest total, Hunt's nine carries marked his highest total since Week 8. He made the most of his opportunity by ripping off gains of 15 and 11 yards to also tally his highest yardage total on the ground since Week 2. Hunt has only three total touchdowns on the season, which makes him difficult to trust on a weekly basis combined with his relatively limited involvement in the Browns' offense.

Six touches in win
Hunt had five carries for 15 yards and caught one of two targets for six yards in Sunday's 23-17 overtime win over Tampa Bay in Week 12.
Analysis: While it was a good day for the ground game as a whole -- 189 yards, 5.6 YPC -- it was another quiet game for Hunt, who has 21 combined yards or fewer in the four of the last six games. He opened the season averaging 12 carries and 15 touches through the first five games, but those averages dropped to six carries and eight touches in the subsequent six weeks. His role as a receiving back could improve beginning Week 13 at Houston, the first game quarterback Deshaun Watson is eligible to play…read more

Quiet day in loss
Hunt carried five times for 32 yards and caught both of his targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 31-23 loss to the Bills.
Analysis: Buffalo stifled the Browns' vaunted rushing attack, although Hunt found some room on his limited touches as a runner. While it's been mainly the Nick Chubb show in the backfield, a gifted receiver like Hunt could experience a renaissance when Deshaun Watson becomes available starting in Week 13.

Minimal impact in loss
Hunt rushed six times for nine yards and secured his only target for 10 yards in the Browns' 39-17 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.
Analysis: Hunt's disappointing afternoon saw him partly limited by game script, as even backfield leader Nick Chubb logged only 11 carries. Hunt's single-digit rushing yardage tally was his second in the last three games, but he'll hope for more opportunity in a Week 12 road matchup against the Bills.

Larger workload ahead of deadline
Hunt rushed 11 times for 42 yards and caught all four of his targets for 30 yards in Monday's 32-13 win over the Bengals.
Analysis: Perhaps being showcased for a trade before Tuesday's deadline, Hunt tied his season high with four receptions, all in the first half. By the end of the game, he also tied his season high of 15 touches while coming two scrimmage yards short of his season best from back in Week 2. Hunt could see an uptick in value if he's traded to a team searching for a lead back. Otherwise, he'll continue to settle for change-of-pace duties behind Nick Chubb after Cleveland's Week 9 bye.

Analysis: Hunt, who is on the final year of his contract with Cleveland and seeking a new deal, requested a trade back in August. Schefter reports that the Browns are now open to Hunt's request to be dealt, and that the team expects to receive either a 2023 fourth-round pick or an asset better than the 2024 compensatory pick that would come its way if the running back were to depart in free agency.

Salvages day with TD
Hunt rushed five times for four yards and a touchdown and secured one of two targets for four yards in the Browns' 23-20 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.
Analysis: Hunt produced his lowest rushing yardage output of the season but was able to punch in a two-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter to prevent his afternoon from being a complete fantasy washout. Hunt now has just 16 rushing yards on nine carries in the last two games after logging double-digit attempts and at least 46 rushing yards in each of the first five contests of the campaign.

Quiet day in loss
Hunt rushed four times for 12 yards and did not catch his lone target in Sunday's 38-15 loss to New England in Week 6.
Analysis: The Browns vaunted running game was bottled up by the Patriots, and they largely abandoned Hunt and Nick Chubb, even before the game got out of hand. Cleveland entered Sunday's contest having rushed 53 percent of the time, but the Browns ran at just a 29 percent clip against New England.

Generates 57 total yards in loss
Hunt rushed 11 times for 47 yards with one touchdown and brought in all three targets for 10 yards in the Browns' 30-28 loss to the Chargers on Sunday.
Analysis: Hunt filled his usual complementary role alongside Nick Chubb and was effective with it, scoring his second rushing touchdown of the season on a two-yard run late in the third quarter. The veteran has double-digit carries and receptions in every game thus far, but the fact he's typically capped under 15 carries limits his upside somewhat. Hunt's next opportunity to add to his solid start to the season comes in a Week 6 home battle against the Patriots.

Gains 68 yards on 12 touches
Hunt rushed 10 times for 49 yards and caught two of three targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss to Atlanta.
Analysis: Cleveland's rushing attack was headlined by Nick Chubb (19 carries for 118 yards and a touchdown) , with Hunt playing his usual solid complementary role. The 27-year-old is averaging 50.0 rushing yards (4.4 YPC) and 18.3 receiving yards per game (4.4 YPC) to go along with two total touchdowns. Hunt could see extra usage as a receiver against a high-octane Chargers offense next Sunday.

Another solid complementary effort
Hunt rushed 12 times for 47 yards and brought in three of four targets for 14 yards in the Browns' 29-17 win over the Steelers on Thursday night.
Analysis: As customary, Hunt was the ideal complement to lead back Nick Chubb, offering the latter a breather on occasion and also contributing in the passing game with the third-most receptions on the team. Hunt has no fewer than 11 carries and has recorded multiple receptions in the Browns' first three games, a reliable workload that can afford him some fantasy success with enough touchdown equity.

Gets 15 touches in Week 2 loss
Hunt rushed 13 times for 58 yards and caught both of his targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 31-30 loss to the Jets.
Analysis: Hunt scored twice in Week 1 while Nick Chubb was kept out of the end zone, but the script flipped in Week 2, as Chubb found the end zone three times on 17 carries. Both running backs saw plenty of usage in a game that the Browns never trailed until Garrett Wilson gave the Jets the lead for good with 22 seconds remaining. Hunt has totaled 15 touches in each of Cleveland's first two games, so he should remain a key part of the offensive game plan Thursday against the Steelers.

Pair of scores in win
Hunt rushed 11 times for 46 yards and a touchdown and brought in all four targets for 24 yards and another score in the Browns' 26-24 win over the Panthers on Sunday.
Analysis: Hunt played his usual complementary role behind Nick Chubb, logging just half the carries of his teammate. However, he was the only one of the two to find the end zone, crossing the goal line on a one-yard reception and 24-yard scamper in the first quarter to account for Cleveland's first two scores. Hunt notably finished second on the day for the Browns in both receptions and receiving yards, and with Jacoby Brissett's propensity for high-percentage throws, this could continue to be an even…read more

Doesn't play in preseason
Hunt didn't play in Saturday's preseason game versus the Bears, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: Neither Hunt nor Nick Chubb suited up this preseason, which doesn't surprise with Jacoby Brissett poised to lead the Browns offense for much of the season due to Deshaun Watson's 11-game suspension. As a result, the backfield duo figures to have an outsized role. In three seasons with the Browns, Chubb has averaged 13 touches for 67.8 yards from scrimmage per game while scoring 19 touchdowns in 32 appearances.

Hunt has not participated in team drills over the last two days as he looks for a contract extension, Josina Anderson of CBS Sports reports.

The No. 2 running back still managed to accumulate 560 yards on 100 total touches in a crowded position group consisting of Nick Chubb, D'Ernest Johnson and Demetric Felton.

Hunt remains in Cleveland's plans despite a surplus of running backs, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: The Browns' selection of Jerome Ford in the fifth round of the 2022 draft set off speculation about the crowded running back room and how the team would accommodate the depth. The first thoughts were that Hunt or D'Ernest Johnson could be moved -- Hunt's in the final year of a deal and Johnson's tendered. However, there was a lot of Hunt and Nick Chubb on the field together during OTAs, suggesting the offense could feature them together more this season.

The running back, who last suited up in Week 14, thus has a chance to return to action Monday night, though the team's 8:15 ET kickoff adds an element of risk to those considering Hunt for Week 17 fantasy lineups.

Hunt (calf) is expected to be fine after being held out of the Browns' final drive in Sunday's loss to the Ravens, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram
Analysis: Hunt returned from a five-game absence due to a calf injury during Sunday night's matchup, and the team's coaching staff was monitoring the running back's status throughout the game. His calf tightened up late in the game, so he was kept off the field for the team's final offensive possession. However, coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that the 26-year-old didn't aggravate his injury, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him available following Cleveland's Week 13 bye.

Activated for Week 12
Hunt (calf) was activated from injured reserve on Saturday.
Analysis: Hunt has been sidelined since suffering the calf strain Week 6 versus Arizona, and he's now officially back on the active roster after missing six games. The 26-year-old had 361 rushing yards with a 5.2 YPC to go along with 20 receptions for 161 yards and five total touchdowns before going down with the injury. He's officially questionable for Sunday in Baltimore, but he's expected to immediately reclaim his role as the 1B backfield option alongside Nick Chubb.

Coach expects him to play Sunday
Coach Kevin Stefanski says he expects Hunt (calf) to be activated from injured reserve before Sunday's game against the Ravens, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The team still needs to officially activate Hunt from IR, but all signs point to him coming off the list before Sunday's game and suiting up as the Browns' 1B backfield option alongside Nick Chubb. Hunt hasn't played since Week 6, but he was extremely effective prior to getting hurt, averaging 5.2 yards per carry and scoring five touchdowns.

Plans to play Sunday
Hunt (calf) expects to return from injured reserve and play in Sunday's game against the Ravens, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports. "Yeah, [I'll] see how I feel during the week, but I'm definitely thinking I'm going to play," Hunt said Wednesday.
Analysis: Hunt was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, opening a 21-day window for the Browns to place him back on the active roster. He took the field for the Browns' first Week 12 practice, as expected, setting the stage for his first appearance since mid-October. The Browns haven't committed to Sunday's game as the target return date for Hunt, but the running back made his plans clear. Once Hunt is available, D'Ernest Johnson may be without a role on offense, despite doing solid work…read more

Cleared for practice
The Browns designated Hunt (calf) for return from injured reserve Wednesday.
Analysis: The transaction opens up a 21-day window in which the Browns can evaluate Hunt in practice as he prepares for a return for the 53-man roster. Before being placed on IR on Oct. 19 with the right calf strain, Hunt had filled a key complementary role behind top back Nick Chubb, averaging a robust 5.2 yards on 69 carries while catching 20 passes and scoring five touchdowns through six games. Since Hunt isn't an official member of the roster, the Browns won't have to list the extent of his…read more

Could return Week 12
Coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday he's "hopeful" Hunt (calf) will be available for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Stefanski also said that Hunt will resume practicing this week and thus be designated to return from IR, per Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram. A right calf strain has kept Hunt sidelined since Week 6, but after five straight absences it looks like the running back now is honing in on a return to the field, potentially in time for Sunday's upcoming divisional matchup.

Not coming off IR this week
Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said Hunt (calf) won't be activated from injured reserve prior to Sunday's game against the Lions, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports.
Analysis: After spending the requisite three games on IR while recovering from a right calf strain, Hunt was first eligible to practice Week 10, but the Browns didn't clear him to do so. One week later, Hunt still hasn't been deemed ready to practice, making it an easy call for the Browns to rule him out for a fifth consecutive contest. Stefanski hasn't suggested that Hunt has experienced any sort of setback in his recovery, so the 26-year-old may just be trending toward the longer end of his recovery…read more

Won't return this week
Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said Hunt (calf) won't be activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game in New England, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Hunt is first eligible to return from IR this week, but he'll apparently need more time to recover from the right calf strain he sustained Oct. 17. Kimberley A. Martin of ESPN suggests Hunt may not return from IR until December, though the Browns haven't ruled him out beyond Week 10 at this point. The game against New England will mark his fourth straight absence, with a Nov. 21 matchup with the Lions representing his next opportunity for a return.

Heads to injured reserve
Hunt (calf) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Analysis: With a 4-6 week timetable to return from the calf injury he sustained this past Sunday against the Cardinals, Hunt was destined to land on IR, if only to open up a spot on the active roster. The Browns proceeded to sign running back John Kelly off their practice squad Tuesday, but this position group still runs through Nick Chubb (calf) when he's healthy. He's not, though, as he sat out Week 6 and kicked off Week 7 prep as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate. There's no telling if…read more

Coach confirms timeline
Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski confirmed Monday the reported four-to-six week timeline for Hunt (calf), Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Analysis: The coach said Hunt will miss more than three weeks and is "in that ballpark" of four to six weeks. With a game Thursday against Denver, the Browns are scrambling with a banged-up backfield. Nick Chubb (calf) was inactive Week 6 and started the short practice week as a DNP. D'Ernest Johnson and Demetric Felton ascended the depth chart during Sunday's game after Hunt was removed and are poised to fill in Thursday if necessary.

Likely heading to IR
Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that Hunt (calf) is in line to miss multiple weeks and likely will land on injured reserve, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Hunt will be required to miss at least the next three games if he's placed on IR, though Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that his expected recovery timeframe is actually 4-to-6 weeks. Nick Chubb (calf) was unable to suit up Week 6 versus the Cardinals, but Cleveland reportedly isn't considering placing him on IR. Meanwhile, Baker Mayfield (shoulder) intends to suit up Thursday versus the Broncos, and Odell Beckham (shoulder) also is dealing with an injury.

Now, he has a new health concern after he remained on the turf for a spell before needing help from trainers to get off the field and a cart to get to the locker room.

Analysis: On a possession the spanned the end of the third and beginning of the fourth quarters, Hunt got banged up at one point but stayed in the game. Later, on a fourth down that the Browns didn't convert, he stayed on the turf for a while before coming off the field and needing a cart to get to the locker room, per Jake Trotter of ESPN.com.

In doing so, the running back looked good, coach Kevin Stefanski told Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.

Should play, uptick in work on tap
Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said that Hunt (wrist/knee), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, should be ready to handle a larger role than normal with top back Nick Chubb (calf) out, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. "I don't want to kill Kareem," Stefanski said, noting that he has a number of snaps and touches in mind for Hunt.
Analysis: Since the Browns will have a quick turnaround for Week 7 with the Broncos traveling to Cleveland for a Thursday night game, Stefanski cautioned that Hunt won't be overworked in Sunday's contest. That being said, the absence of Chubb -- who was averaging 19 touches per game -- should pave the way for Hunt to take on his biggest workload to date, assuming the contest is reasonably competitive throughout. Behind Hunt, rookie Demetric Felton and D'Ernest Johnson are expected to get touches, too,…read more

Hunt (wrist/knee), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, is slated to be the Browns' No. 1 running back with Nick Chubb (calf) ruled out, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Analysis: Chubb was unable to practice all week in the wake of the calf injury he picked up Week 5 against the Chargers in L.A.

Listed as questionable for Sunday
Hunt (wrist/knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: Meanwhile, fellow running back Nick Chubb (calf) has been ruled out for the contest, which sets the stage for Hunt to log heavy work this weekend, assuming he's active. With that in mind, it's worth tracking Hunt's status as Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff approaches, with added context regarding his Week 6 status likely to arrive no later than late Saturday/early Sunday, when national reporters like Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport provide their weekly injury updates.

Analysis: Hunt was held out of Thursday's practice due to the wrist issue, but it appears he'll at least work as a limited participant a day later. Nick Chubb has yet to practice this week due to a calf injury, and if he's unavailable this weekend Hunt is poised to operate as Cleveland's No. 1 tailback versus Arizona, assuming he's available himself.

Analysis: Along with Hunt, fellow running back Nick Chubb (calf) will also sit out the session. The Browns haven't indicated whether either player's status is in peril for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, so it's conceivable that both Hunt and Chubb are receiving some extra maintenance on the heels of a 47-42 loss to the Chargers in Week 5. If Hunt is able to get back on the field in some capacity Thursday, he'll likely be trending in the right direction for the Week 6 contest.

Two TDs in losing effort
Hunt carried the ball 12 times for 61 yards and two touchdowns while catching five of six targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 47-42 loss to the Chargers.
Analysis: Both TDs came in the red zone, as Hunt scored from three yards out in the second quarter and then from the eight-yard line in the fourth to give Cleveland its final points of the day. Nick Chubb also had a huge performance with 170 scrimmage yards and a touchdown of his own, and the duo will continue being the engine of the Browns' offense in Week 6 against the undefeated Cardinals.

Another strong effort Sunday
Hunt rushed 14 times for 69 yards and a touchdown and brought in two of four targets for 17 yards in the Browns' 14-7 win over the Vikings on Sunday.
Analysis: Hunt saw seven fewer carries and gained 31 fewer yards than backfield mate Nick Chubb, but he was the only one of the duo to cross the goal line. The dual-threat back went in from one yard out late in the second half to notch his third rushing score in the first four games of the season, and he extended his streak of double-digit carries to three games with a season-high tally in rush attempts.

Hunt rushed 10 times for 81 yards and a touchdown and brought in six of seven targets for 74 yards in the Browns' 26-6 win over the Bears on Sunday.
Analysis: Hunt saw 12 fewer carries than backfield mate Nick Chubb after outpacing him by a pair in a Week 2 win over the Texans, but he did exponentially more with his opportunity and also notched his second touchdown of the season with a 29-yard scamper on the first play of the fourth quarter. Hunt's receptions, receiving yards and targets were also all season-high figures, and he could remain similarly involved in the short passing game as long as Jarvis Landry (IR-knee) is sidelined.

Outpaces Chubb in carries
Hunt rushed 13 times for 51 yards and secured his only target for two yards in the Browns' 31-21 win over the Texans on Sunday.
Analysis: Hunt notably took two more carries than Nick Chubb, but the latter was more productive while outpacing him by 44 rushing yards and also recording a score on the ground. Nevertheless, Hunt's involvement as a rusher was intriguing after he only logged six carries in the opener versus the Chiefs, but it's also likely Chubb reclaims a clearer lead-back role in a Week 3 battle versus the Bears.

Hunt carried the ball six times for 33 yards and a touchdown while catching all three of his targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 33-29 loss to Kansas City. He also ran in a two-point conversion.
Analysis: While Hunt didn't see high volume, getting nine touches to Nick Chubb's 17, he was able to do some damage against the club that drafted him back in 2017. The Browns have once again made the ground game the focus of their offense, which should have Hunt poised for another productive performance in Week 2 at home against the Texans.

Hunt rushed twice for five yards in Sunday's 19-10 preseason win over the Falcons.
Analysis: Hunt was on the field for the Browns' first drive but only received two touches before handing things off to the backups. The 26-year-old was not targeted in the passing game, which is an area he figures to be heavily involved in as part of one of the best running back tandems in the league alongside Nick Chubb.

Wants team to keep Chubb
Hunt says he's happy sharing backfield work with Nick Chubb, even noting that the Browns should give his teammate a big contract, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports. "Pay that man," Hunt said. "He's a freak of nature. He's like a brother to me ... hope we can play together for a long time."
Analysis: Chubb's presence may relegate Hunt to a reserve role, but that could also help prolong his career, especially if the Cleveland offensive line maintains its high level of play from 2020. Hunt is entering the first season of the two-year, $12 million extension he signed last September, while Chubb is entering the final year of his rookie contract and figures to eventually land a much larger deal.

Hunt rushed six times for 32 yards and a touchdown while catching his only target for two yards in Sunday's 22-17 loss to the Chiefs in the AFC divisional round.
Analysis: Hunt didn't register a touch in the first half, as the Browns took a 19-3 deficit into the locker room. He continued to play second fiddle to Nick Chubb in the third quarter, then took the spotlight himself early in the fourth with a three-yard rushing touchdown.

Gets pair of first-quarter TD runs
Hunt registered 48 yards and two touchdowns on eight carries, adding a 13-yard reception during Sunday's 48-37 wild-card win against Pittsburgh.
Analysis: Hunt was contained to single-digit rush attempts for the fourth time over his past five outings, but the back's two first-quarter rushing scores against the Steelers matched his total from 51 carries between Weeks 12 and 17. His contributions are undeniable, as Hunt posted 841 yards for Cleveland's No. 3 rushing offense during the regular season.

Hunt carried the ball 10 times for 37 yards in Week 17 against the Steelers. He added one reception for four yards.
Analysis: Hunt earned 11 touches in comparison to Nick Chubb's 14 but was outgained 108-41. Disappointing performances have become the norm for Hunt, as he logged 35 or fewer rushing yards in six of the team's final seven games. He's salvaged some fantasy value by totaling four touchdowns, though there is little doubt that Chubb will lead the backfield heading into a playoff matchup against the Steelers.

Scores TD in upset loss
Hunt rushed four times for 11 yards and a touchdown while catching three of five targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Jets.
Analysis: Hunt had just six scrimmage yards in the first half, but he was more involved in the second half with Cleveland playing catch-up. After watching Nick Chubb score from one yard out late in the third quarter, Hunt found the end zone himself from four yards out on the next drive for his sixth rushing touchdown of the season. With the Browns needing a win over the Steelers in Week 17 to clinch a playoff berth, expect Hunt to play a prominent role as both a rusher and a receiver out of the backfield.

Hunt could be more heavily involved in Sunday's game against the Jets after the Browns placed several receivers on the COVID-19 list, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: Cleveland will operate without Jarvis Landry, Rashard Higgins, KhaDarel Hodge and Donovan Peoples-Jones, all deemed to be close contacts of linebacker B.J. Goodson, who tested positive for the virus. The obvious reaction could be the Browns relying heavily on the running attack behind Hunt and Nick Chubb.

Worst fantasy outing this year
Hunt had seven carries for 21 yards and three receptions (three targets) for seven yards in Sunday's 20-6 win over the Giants.
Analysis: Both Hunt and starter Nick Chubb struggled to establish their usual dominance over opposing defenses. The talented backs each averaged less than four yards per carry despite facing a Giants defense that surrendered 4.13 YPC entering Sunday's contest.

Although Chubb did his damage in the first half, Hunt waited until after halftime to strike. He first scored on a five-yard rush during the third quarter, then caught a 22-yard pass to tie the game with just over a minute remaining.

Analysis: Hunt received only four carries in the first half, with Nick Chubb handling 12 touches as the primary back. With the Browns up multiple scores for nearly the entire second half, Hunt did see his volume increase, though he was unable to turn that into significant yardage.

Hunt (thigh) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game at Tennessee, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: Hunt was limited by a thigh injury on the first two practice reports of Week 13, but the concern wasn't enough to impact his ability to suit up for game day. Working in concert with Nick Chubb again over the Browns' last three contests, Hunt still has racked up 46 touches for 215 yards from scrimmage and one touchdown while playing between 42 and 58 percent of the snaps on offense.

Nursing thigh injury
Hunt was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a thigh injury, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Analysis: Hunt only played 42 percent of the Browns' offensive snaps during last weekend's win over the Jaguars, and his 10 carries were tied for a season-low mark. Nick Chubb's return to the lineup has certainly contributed to Hunt's decreased role of late, but it appears as though his relative lack of involvement versus Jacksonville may also be partially attributed to the injury. Hunt will work to upgrade his practice activity ahead of Sunday's game in Tennessee.

Role limited against Jaguars
Hunt rushed the ball 10 times for 62 yards in Week 12 against the Jaguars. He did not convert either of his targets into receptions.
Analysis: Hunt matched a season-low carry total and wasn't able to mask the lack of volume by finding the end zone. More troubling was Hunt's lack of involvement in the passing game, as he failed to record a reception for the second time this season. Furthermore, in three contests since Nick Chubb has returned, Hunt has seen his touch-total drop progressively from 22 all the way to Sunday's 10 touches.

Scores despite poor yardage output
Hunt carried 13 times for 11 yards and a touchdown while catching his only target for an additional 10 yards during Sunday's 22-17 win over the Eagles.
Analysis: Hunt managed a dismal 0.8 yards per carry against a tough Eagles front and was uncharacteristically underutilized in the passing game as well. He salvaged a bit of respectability for his fantasy line with a five-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter but still finished with underwhelming numbers by his standards.

Tops century mark in Chubb's return

Chubb finished with 22 more rushing yards and a touchdown on the same number of carries as Hunt, but Hunt had three more catches on three more targets.

Back to No. 2
With Nick Chubb (knee) activated off injured reserve Saturday, Hunt will likely go back to splitting work at running back.
Analysis: Considering Hunt averaged 5.5 yards-per-carry in the four games Chubb was active compared to 3.9 as the starter, this might actually be good news for Hunt's fantasy prospects. Expect to see the 25-year-old return to his primary focus as a pass catcher out of the backfield while mixing in a handful of carries in competitive games. Hunt has never played more than 49 percent of the team's offensive snaps with Chubb healthy and it's likely fair to expect a similar usage for future weeks.

With Nick Chubb (knee) returning to practice Monday, Hunt could share the backfield in Week 10 at home against the Texans, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: Chubb could be active for this week's game, which would put a damper on Hunt's role as the team's top running back. He filled in for Chubb the last four games, vaulting to first on the team in carries (115), yards (529) and touchdowns (seven) in the process. He had been angling for a 1,000-yard rushing season, but Chubb will assume the lead back role when he is activated. Hunt could still make an impact in the passing game however, and he currently leads the Browns with four touchdown…read more

Held in check by Raiders
Hunt collected 66 rushing yards on 14 carries, adding two catches for seven yards during Sunday's 16-6 loss to Las Vegas.
Analysis: Hunt seemed primed for a big day against the Raiders, having entered the contest with seven total touchdowns since Week 2. In comparison, Las Vegas had surrendered the third-most rushing TDs to opposing RBs (eight) coming into Sunday, but the unit proved capable of holding Cleveland to just two field goals on a constricted 22:17 of offensive possession. The Browns will now be afforded the opportunity to heal up over a Week 9 bye before returning to the field Oct. 15 against Houston's …read more

Hunt (ribs) isn't on the final injury report for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Scott Petrak of The Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Analysis: Hunt upgraded to a full practice Friday after two limited sessions, leaving no doubt about his availability for this highly favorable matchup. The explosive running back should feast against a Raiders defense that has allowed eight rushing touchdowns in six games to the position.

Hunt (ribs) was limited in practice Wednesday, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Hunt was limited in practice last week due to the same injury, but he didn't end up taking an injury designation into Sunday's 37-34 win over the Bengals. The running back delivered a quality outing for fantasy managers, handling 21 touches while coming through with his seventh touchdown of the season.

Scores seventh TD of 2020
Hunt rushed 18 times for 76 yards and caught three of four targets for 26 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-34 win over Cincinnati.
Analysis: Hunt's five carries for 31 yards represented all of Cleveland's first-quarter offense, as quarterback Baker Mayfield went 0-for-5 with an interception through the air. Mayfield completed 22 of his next 23 passes, however, as the offense flowed primarily through the air with the Browns playing from behind for most of the game.

Cleared for Week 7
Hunt (ribs) won't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Bengals after practicing fully Friday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: After being limited in the Browns' first two practices of the week, Hunt's ability to take every rep at Friday's session was enough for the coaching and training staffs to sign off on him playing this weekend. He'll pick up a third straight start in place of the injured Nick Chubb (knee) after amassing 150 total yards and a touchdown on 38 touches (33 carries, five receptions) over the previous two contests.

Begins week with limited practice
Hunt was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a ribs injury, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Analysis: Hunt had his practice reps limited last week due to a thigh issue before he was cleared to play in the Browns' loss to the Steelers, so he could again have his practice activity managed carefully leading up to this weekend's game in Cincinnati. As long as Hunt upgrades to full participation by Friday, however, he should serve as the Browns' unquestioned lead back Week 7.

Stymied by Steelers
Hunt carried the ball 13 times for 40 yards in Week 6 against the Steelers. He added two receptions for 17 yards.
Analysis: The Browns worked from behind for the entire game, limiting Hunt's involvement as a rusher. While he remained involved in the passing game, Hunt struggled to find space in either facet of the game and racked up only 57 yards on 15 total touches. Even so, Hunt was the clear lead back for the team, with Dontrell Hilliard worked into the game only during garbage time. That bodes well for Hunt's ability to bounce back in Week 7 against the Bengals.

No injury designation for Week 6
Hunt (thigh) was a full participant in practice Friday and doesn't carry an injury designation heading into Sunday's game against the Steelers, Scott Petrak of The Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Analysis: Hunt upgraded to full participation after a pair of limited sessions and is set to serve as the feature back in a run-heavy Cleveland offense with Nick Chubb (knee) on IR. D'Ernest Johnson -- who has 21 carries over the past two weeks -- will be on hand to spell Hunt, but Hunt is the superior option as both a rusher and a receiver, meaning he'll be heavily involved regardless of how game script plays out.

Limited with thigh injury
Hunt was limited in practice Wednesday due to a thigh injury, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: Hunt has been playing through a groin issue recently, so the thigh injury may be related. Barring any setbacks in practice this week, Hunt should ultimately be ready to go for Sunday's game against the Steelers. With Nick Chubb (knee) on injured reserve, Hunt should again handle the majority of the backfield snaps and touches, with D'Ernest Johnson serving as his top backup.

Scores TD despite tough sledding
Hunt carried 20 times for 72 yards while adding three catches (on four targets) for 21 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 32-23 win over the Colts.
Analysis: Hunt shrugged off a groin injury and received a full workload as the team's lead back. Despite averaging just 3.6 yards per carry against a strong Colts defense, the volume he received, along with a two-yard receiving touchdown in the second quarter, enabled him to produce respectable fantasy numbers.

Hunt (groin) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Colts after practicing fully Friday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: With that, Hunt is poised to head the Browns' rushing attack both Sunday and beyond, with Nick Chubb (knee) on injured reserve and expected to miss about six weeks. D'Ernest Johnson will also factor into Cleveland's backfield fix, but assuming he's moved on from the groin injury that had been affecting his practice participation prior to Friday, Hunt is now poised to see a greater percentage of the Browns' carries, after previously working in a timeshare that slightly tilted in Chubb's favor.…read more

Still limited Thursday
Hunt (groin) was limited in Thursday's practice, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Analysis: Hunt managed to play through his groin injury against the Cowboys in Week 4, so that he's been able to take the field in some capacity for back-to-back practices is somewhat encouraging. The Browns may simply be taking a cautious approach to Hunt's health, given that he's on track to serve as the team's clear top back with Nick Chubb (knee) expected to spend roughly six weeks on IR.

Analysis: Andrew Gribble of the Browns' official site previously relayed that coach Kevin Stefanski indicated that Hunt came out of this past Sunday's win over the Cowboys "pretty good," after having dealt with a groin injury leading up to Week 4 action. With that in mind, Hunt's limitations Wednesday were likely maintenance-related, as he prepares for an expanded role in Cleveland's ground game with Nick Chubb (knee) on injured reserve and expected to miss about six weeks.

Survives Week 4
Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said Hunt came out of Sunday's win over the Cowboys "pretty good" after dealing with a groin injury during the practice week, Andrew Gribble of the Browns' official site reports.
Analysis: He should assume a bigger role while Nick Chubb (knee) is sidelined. Hunt's averaged 12.5 carries per game, but that could increase with Chubb expected to miss about six weeks. D'Ernest Johnson will also compete for touches, as the Browns typically give their top two backs significant playing time each game.

He found the end zone on a two-yard run in the second quarter and added a 14-yard score to help his side build an insurmountable lead in the third.

That sentiment has since been confirmed by Hunt's absence from the inactive list, and he'll once again be poised to work in tandem with Nick Chubb in the Cleveland backfield.

Analysis: Hunt has missed two straight practices due to a groin strain, but it looks like he'll be listed as at least a 'limited' participant on Friday's final injury report. If the 25-year-old were to have his touches restricted in Dallas on Sunday -- or even sit out the contest entirely -- Nick Chubb would stand to see a notable uptick in his already sizable workload.

Analysis: While the Browns don't believe Hunt's groin issue is significant, he'll be sidelined for a second straight practice on account of the injury. Starter Nick Chubb and Hunt have had a fairly even split of the backfield reps through three games, but the distribution of snaps and touches could tilt more in Chubb's favor Sunday in Dallas if the groin injury results in Hunt's workload being limited, if he's not held out of the contest entirely.

While the 2017 third-round pick did play a clear second fiddle to backfield mate Nick Chubb in terms of rushing workload after outpacing him by three carries in Week 1, Hunt still offered plenty from a fantasy perspective with six-yard receiving score in the second quarter and a game-sealing one-yard scoring run in…read more

Hunt rushed 13 times for 72 yards and secured four of six targets for nine yards in the Browns' 38-6 loss to the Ravens on Sunday. He also fumbled once but recovered.
Analysis: Perhaps largely due to game script, Hunt outpaced backfield mate Nick Chubb by three carries in the lopsided defeat. Both backs were ultimately highly efficient, with Hunt's impressive 5.5 yards per rush just trailing Chubb's even better 6.0 figure.

Signs two-year extension
Hunt agreed to a two-year, $13.25 extension with the Browns on Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: This extension will keep Hunt in Cleveland for two more years after this season. Between Hunt and 2018 second-rounder Nick Chubb, the Browns have two of the league's most explosive running backs in their backfield. The former Chiefs standout is expected to play more of a Swiss army knife role that involves lining up both in the backfield and as a receiver at times while Chubb plays a more traditional running back role.

When Chubb returns, Hunt will move to more of a receiving role, but the 25-year-old has a rushing title on his resume and can be a capable fill-in should Chubb's concussion symptoms linger.

Now that he's back in the fold, the 24-year-old will continue to serve as the team's No. 2 back behind Nick Chubb.

For the Browns, he worked hard and appeared to have learned from his off-field mistakes that led to an eight-game suspension to start the 2019 season.

Although he finished averaging just 8.3 yards per reception, he managed to place third on the team in receiving yards in what amounted to a tough day for the Browns offense.

In fact, he trailed only Odell Beckham in targets and tied for Cleveland's team high in receptions.

However, Hunt was a major part of the passing game for the second time in as many games since returning from his season-opening suspension, leading the Browns in receptions and checking in second only to Odell Beckham in receiving yardage.

Expected to have key role
Steelers coach Mike Tomlin expects the Browns to expand their two-back packages with Hunt and Nick Chubb in Thursday's game, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Analysis: In his team debut in the Week 10 win over the Bills, Hunt played 54 percent of snaps, lining up as a halfback, in the slot, out wide and even as a fullback a couple times. That allowed Chubb to see 20 carries and two targets en route to playing 81 percent of the snaps, while Hunt earned four carries and nine targets. It's a safe bet both players stay involved in the offense in the Thursday night game, though Tomlin's expectation for increased use of two-back formations is less certain.

Hunt played 38 snaps (54 percent) in Sunday's win over Buffalo, lining up nearly a third of the time (12 snaps) as something other than halfback, Dan Labbe of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: The Browns showed a lot of two-back looks, but they also had Hunt out wide at times. The third-year back had the third-most targets with nine, behind only Odell Beckham (12) and Jarvis Landry (nine), in his season debut. How the Browns planned to incorporate Hunt into the existing offense after serving an eight-game suspension became clearer Sunday. It looks like he may be the de facto third wideout over the final two months of the season, ahead of Rashard Higgins and Antonio Callaway.

Combines for 74 yards in debut
Hunt carried four times for 30 yards and caught seven of nine targets for an additional 44 yards during Sunday's 19-16 win over the Bills.
Analysis: Making his season debut, Hunt took on the role of the Browns' top pass-catching back, finishing second on the team in receptions and third in receiving yardage. He also impressively averaged 7.5 yards per carry, though the sample size was limited with Nick Chubb carrying the load in that regard. It was quite encouraging to see Hunt so involved in his first game with the team, and he should continue to work in a similar role in Thursday's showdown with the Steelers.

Will have role against Bills
Coach Freddie Kitchens said Hunt (suspension) "will definitely have a role" in Sunday's game against the Bills, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: Hunt completed his eight-game suspension for violating the league's personal conduct policy, and he's fully recovered from sports hernia surgery. He hasn't been lifted to the 53-man roster yet, but the official move will come before Sunday. In this past Sunday's loss to the Broncos, lead back Nick Chubb was taken off the field multiple times, but Dontrell Hilliard wasn't successful with just eight yards on five carries. The Browns hope Hunt can add another dimension to the backfield and form a…read more

Suspension completed
Hunt completed his eight-game suspension and is expected to be reinstated to the Browns' 53-man roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Bills, The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: After making a full recovery from sports hernia surgery, Hunt already had resumed practicing with the Browns two weeks ago, signaling that the team planned to open up a spot on the roster for him once he was eligible to play. An official announcement on a roster move should arrive within the coming days, but coach Freddie Kitchens has yet to reveal what kind of role Hunt may fill behind lead back Nick Chubb in Week 10. Given his strong body of work in Kansas City, Hunt at least makes for a…read more
