According to the Houston Chronicle, the Texans are intrigued by the progress made my speedster running back Akeem Hunt during OTAs. (Houston Chronicle)

Fantasy Impact:

"He's a lot farther along than he was last year," Texans coach Bill O'Brien said. "We brought him in a little bit later on. He's got really good speed. He's a very hard worker. He's guy that we used a little bit in the passing game last year. He's helping us." Hunt averaged a quality 5.6 YPC on a limited 17 carries last year, but he showed impressive burst on the touches he did get. Lamar Miller is the clear starter, but Hunt could develop into a passing down back. He is worth closely monitoring in dynasty leagues.
