3 years agoCleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt could be in line for an increased role on offense in 2021, according to Cleveland.com beat reporter Mary Kay Cabot. Cabot cites that the coaching staff is more familiar with what Hunt can do and that they trust him in clutch situations. In addition, with the newly-implemented 17-game season, running back depth will be even more important than ever as teams look to keep their backfields fresh. Cabot is also on record as saying she does not believe the Browns will consider trading Hunt to the Los Angeles Rams if they come calling. His name was one that was speculated on as a potential replacement when the Rams lost Cam Akers to a season-ending injury last week. Hunt has standalone RB3 value in fantasy this season with RB1 upside if Nick Chubb goes down with an injury.--Matt T - RotoBaller
