Kareem Hunt A Low-End RB1 In Week 5
4 years agoCleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt will operate as the team's lead back in a Week 5 home matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. Hunt had been splitting backfield work with Nick Chubb through the first four weeks but Chubb will miss at least four-to-six weeks with an MCL sprain, leaving Hunt as the Browns' clear-cut starter. Hunt has been impressive this season, scoring five total touchdowns through four weeks. The Colts boast a tough run defense, ranking fifth in DVOA through four games. That being said, the Cleveland running game has also been a dominant unit thus far, bolstered by a much-improved offensive line. As long as Hunt's sore groin from last week isn't an issue during this week's practice sessions, fantasy managers can slot Hunt in as a low-end RB1 for Week 5.
