RB Kareem Hunt "no question" wants to sign an extension with the Browns, per Scott Petrak of the The Chronicle-Telegram and Medina Gazette. "I would not mind playing for the Browns for a long time," said Hunt. (Scott Petrak on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact
Hunt will play the 2020 campaign under the one-year tender for $3.2 million as he looks to ink an extension with the Browns in the near future. It was reported that he is cross-training with the Browns wide receivers and that he understands his role as an No 2 RB. Despite forming a 1-2 punch with Nick Chubb, he will have a key role in the Browns offense and plenty of standalone fantasy value. Hunt said "he talks to Nick Chubb a lot, definitely think they can thrive in Kevin Stefanski's wide zone scheme. Points to Dalvin Cook's success under Stefanski with Vikings." The The 24-year-old logged 43 carries for 179 yards and two TDs to go along with 37 catches for 285 yards and a receiving score in eight games with the Browns in 2019. Hunt is an elite handcuff to Chubb and currently 31st among all running backs in the latest expert consensus rankings.
