We review Kareem Hunt, Ernest Johnson’s fantasy football outlook ahead of Browns Week 6 game against Steelers
Sunday morning update: Cleveland RBs Kareem Hunt and D’Ernest Johnson face a healthy defense against the Steelers in today’s outing Browns right guard Wyatt Teller is out for competition ‘Today, which won’t help their cause Hunt and Johnson are slated for 172 and 64 points in half-PPR scoring formats with ESPN, respectively
Following Nick Chubb’s knee injury in Week 4, the Cleveland Browns fullback turned into a bit of a timeshare Everyone knew Kareem Hunt was the best option in the team, but D’Ernest Johnson contributed with 91 yards on 13 carries against the Cowboys, sending many fancy owners to their waiver sons to add the former AAF
A week later that timeshare is all but gone Hunt dominated the clichés and touches against the Indianapolis Colts, leaving only scraps for Johnson We’ll see if anything changes this week against the Pittsburgh Steelers
Specifically, Hunt led the snap count, 51-22, and edged Johnson, 23-9 Four of Johnson’s eight races were in Cleveland’s final race in the 32-23 But win the story was Hunt He looked very much like the player who led the NFL in the run in 2017, producing yards while breaking tackles and still falling forward He padded his totals with a jumping touchdown on Sunday, the Browns face an AFC North rival in the Pittsburgh Steelers, who gave DraftKings the third-fewest points to the RBs for five weeks.
Hunt has been listed as limited to training all week, but has notably been removed from final injury report and is set to play on Sunday
Hunt has the dual threat ability to get through this tough showdown, and it’s clear the Browns are comfortable giving him over 20 hits. He’s a weekly RB1 Johnson, conversely, probably needs an injury to make Hunt worth starting He’s handcuffed until then
