2024 Fantasy Outlook
Hunt remained unsigned to begin 2023, but when Nick Chubb went down with a season-ending knee injury Week 2, the Browns turned to a familiar face to help fill the massive hole in their backfield. Hunt got a lot of his work in the red zone, scoring nine rushing touchdowns despite averaging just 3.0 yards per carry while Jerome Ford handled a lead role. Hunt is a free agent again this offseason, but Cleveland has added more depth in case Chubb isn't 100 percent, bringing in D'Onta Foreman and Nyheim Hines. It's unclear if Hunt will find a home for his age-29 season, and he'll likely have to compete for a roster spot if/when he does. Read Past Outlooks

Remains unsigned
Hunt, who remains a free agent, didn't sound optimistic last month about a potential return to the Browns, according to John Kampf of The News-Herald.
ANALYSIS
During the 2023 season, Hunt logged 135 carries for 411 yards and nine TDs, while adding 15 catches for 84 yards in 15 games with Cleveland. While top back Nick Chubb continues to work his way back from a knee injury, D'Onta Foreman and Nyheim Hines (knee) were added this offseason to bolster a Cleveland backfield that also includes returnees Jerome Ford and Pierre Strong. Meanwhile, Hunt -- who is presumably past a sports hernia procedure -- remains without a team, though in June he indicated that he planned to remain patient on that front, noting that he'd be ready for his next opportunity come training camp.

The Browns will reportedly leave Nick Chubb on the PUP List going into the regular season, ruling him out for at least Cleveland's first four games and leaving Jerome Ford as the starting running back.

Amari Cooper did much of his damage late in the year last season, but he also put up big numbers when Deshaun Watson was under center. He's one of the 32 players Jerry Donabedian highlights for 2024.

The Browns have a stout defense anchored by pass rusher Myles Garrett, but QB Deshaun Watson has barely played in two years with the team, and Nick Chubb continues to recover from a devastating knee injury.

Hunt is a free agent after the Browns declined to re-sign him but does not rank especially high on the long list of free-agent running backs after his numbers fell off a cliff in 2022. Although he was only 27 last year, Hunt plodded his way to just 3.8 yards per carry and 4.8 yards per target -- numbers that get running backs benched. Hunt was more productive in 2021, when he scored five rushing touchdowns with much better efficiency (4.9 YPC, 6.4 YPT) in an injury-shortened eight-game season. It might require some injuries around the league for Hunt to get another shot because he doesn't seem to be at the front of the line of discarded backs.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Open to staying in Cleveland
Hunt wouldn't rule out returning to the Browns next season after the team's wild-card round loss to the Texans, Scott Petrak of The Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
ANALYSIS
Hunt is set to be a free agent after spending the past five seasons in Cleveland. The Browns didn't re-sign him heading into the 2023 season but brought him in after Nick Chubb suffered a season-ending knee injury in Week 2. Hunt scored two touchdowns in the 45-14 playoff loss to Houston, and the Willoughby, Ohio native said he would always consider staying with his hometown team in Cleveland if the Browns are interested.
