Kareem Hunt ‘being patient’ with RB market

Veteran RB Kareem Hunt is being patient with the current running back market. Hunt stated Wednesday, “I’m enjoying my time with my family. I’m training and working hard and just staying ready.”

Fantasy Impact

Hunt added that he is not frustrated at all right now and it will work itself out. Hunt tallied 468 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 123 rushing attempts in 17 games with the Browns last season. The former third-round pick is not the only running back on the market and could see himself waiting for a deal until Dalvin Cook finds a new landing spot.

Javonte Williams: Sean Payton looking to establish running game in Denver

Broncos head coach Sean Payton said he will be looking to establish the running game in the offense this season.

Fantasy Impact

Payton previously ran a very run-heavy offense in New Orleans with a backfield led by Alvin Kamara and Mark Ingram. The uncertainty of Javonte Williams and his status to open the season remains a situation to monitor. Otherwise, it’ll be Samaje Perine seeing a big role and potentially a free agent Denver could still sign. The Broncos signed right tackle Mike McGlinchey and left guard Ben Powers in free agency to improve the offensive line. Perine could be a very solid flier in fantasy drafts this season, especially if Williams is not fully healthy to open the season.
