gijoerock Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 (edited) I grabbed Kareem Hunt in 2 of 4 leagues today as depth in my RB corp. Why is he only 60% owned throughout yahoo leagues and am I missing something? Edited October 31, 2019 by gijoerock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zips5000 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Well, he can't play for another couple weeks to start. Then he will at best be in a time share, but I doubt it will be 50/50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montana is da Man Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 He is most likely to be a 3rd down back at best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-Force Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 I actually think he's eligible to play week 10. My brother has Chubb and I face him next week. I would be so, so very happy to have Hunt vulture a TD from Chubb while I'm facing off against him next week. My son picked up Hunt a week ago. Queue menacing laugh. Also for what it's worth, he's been healing from a sports hernia so the reluctance may be both things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patiently awaiting and watch how he is used on week #10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbinator Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Hunt should be 100% healed from his sports hernia surgery that he had at the end of August. That being said, I don't see him being more than a change of pace RB behind Chubb who's killing it. Btw, I have Hunt. Just curious to see how it plays out. I think Hunt's value will come in garbage time vs teams like Miami. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonsterBall25 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Is odd to think Hunt cannot come out of the gate and be a top10 back? The guy was probably top 1 or 2 when he was playing in Kansas City. And judging by his replacements in KC they have not fared too well or be in the same tier as Hunt... why or how could Hunt all of a sudden just be a 3rd down back or garbage time guy.... by all standards Hunt has always been a better RB than Chubb.

League_Champion Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Fantasy Football season will be about over by the time he's 100% football ready and even then he's an RB2 to Chubb. You don't want to start an unknown quantity come playoff time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chubb has been playing like a top RB in the league behind a shaky oLine. Why would they replace him with Hunt? And as a Hunt owner, I want Hunt to take over but a committee is the best you can hope for right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, we can talk about prior years all day, but its a new year and its all different. I would consider AJ Green an unknown quantity this year - different coach, offense, supporting cast - and he's still on the same team, haha.

Or anyone not named Chubb? Not good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KC went 5-3 after Hunt got released last year. They were 9-2 with him. They are 4-2 (only including game Mahommes was active for) this season. I would say the team has regressed considerably without him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's playing as well as Hunt did in his prime and he's doing it on a bad team. No reason for Browns to go away from Chubb as their workhorse.

Grammatically, is it: "a RB1" - 'a running back 1' "an RB1" - like if you are saying 'an arr-bee 1' Please discuss. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
League_Champion Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Hunt is a free agent after this season. Why bother? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonsterBall25 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Here is the thing... Cleveland is NOT playing for anything. Hunt signed a 1 year contract and probably is not expected to resign with Cleveland. I would look for Cleveland to start resting their future and let Hunt play as much as he wants. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
