Akeem Hunt does little against the Broncos

Akeem Hunt rushed four times for 25 yards and had one catch for four yards on Sunday against the Broncos.

Fantasy Impact

It looked like Hunt would get substantial work on Sunday, but his five touches barely made a dent. Hunt is under contract for next season, but with Kareem Hunt showing he can carry a full load, Akeem Hunt won't be very relevant next season.

Akeem Hunt receives endorsement from coach Bill O'Brien on Thursday

Texans head coach Bill O'Brien mentioned that second-year running back Akeem Hunt "will be part of the game plan" against the Raiders in Week 11.

Fantasy Impact

Hunt saw his first action of the season last week against the Jaguars -- earning 53 yards on nine touches, and showing solid burst and elusiveness. The speedster out of Purdue ran a 4.36 40-yard dash at the 2015 combine, and was active for seven games his rookie year. If Lamar Miller were to miss time, Hunt has the tools to produce RB3 numbers in PPR formats.

Akeem Hunt impressing coaches with speed

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

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.

Akeem Hunt shows flashes in Texans Week 17 victory

Akeem Hunt received three carries for 28 yards and hauled in only one-of-three targets for an additional 27 yards as the Texans clinched the AFC South in their victory over the Jaguars in Week 17.

Fantasy Impact

Like we've stated before when updating Hunt, he's a lightning quick, shifty, playmaker who is starting to show some glimpses of his talents over these last few weeks. His 25 yard rush, and 27 yard reception were the longest plays from scrimmage for Houston on the day. This kid has 4.40 wheels and is a solid pass-catcher out of the backfield as well. Go snatch him up in deeper keeper/dynasty leagues if you can, and keep an eye on him in redraft leagues over the offseason. He could become very interesting.

Akeem Hunt used sparingly in Week 16

Akeem Hunt had two carries for three yards and secured his lone target for an additional six yards as the Texans annihilated the Titans in Week 16.

Fantasy Impact

Hunt is a dynamic, young playmaker who has really helped open up this offense over the last few weeks. His talent hasn't equated to fantasy production quite yet, but he's certainly a player to monitor for the future.
