2024 Projections
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Hunt remained unsigned to begin 2023, but when Nick Chubb went down with a season-ending knee injury in Week 2, the Browns turned to the familiar face to help fill the massive hole in their backfield. Hunt was largely limited to red-zone duties, scoring nine rushing touchdowns despite averaging just 3.0 yards per carry as 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. Another reunion isn't likely, and the 28-year-old Hunt could have trouble finding a new home. Read Past Outlooks

Hunt underwent surgery Tuesday to repair a ruptured adductor, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The veteran back joined the Browns in Week 3 after Nick Chubb suffered a season-ending knee injury. Hunt then spent much of the season getting listed regularly on the injury report due to a groin issue. The 28-year-old saw significant usage in the red zone and finished the season with 495 total yards to go along with a career-high nine touchdowns as he heads back into free agency.

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.

2017
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.
