2023 Fantasy Outlook
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. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Undergoes sports hernia surgery
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
For a second time in the last three years, Hunt only managed to play in eight games, though this
time it was injuries and not a suspension that kept him off the field. A calf strain cost him five
games in the middle of the season, and after seeing only 34 snaps and 11 touches over two
games after his return, an ankle issue cost him the last four contests on the schedule. Hunt
looked like his usual self to begin the campaign, however, averaging 87 scrimmage yards
through the first six weeks while scoring five touchdowns. It's easy to forget at this point that
Hunt won the NFL rushing crown as a rookie in Kansas City, considering his role in Cleveland
has been that of 1B behind Nick Chubb, sometimes making an impact through the air as much
as on the ground. Hunt is effective no matter how he gets the ball in his hands, thanks to his
excellent balance and elusiveness, and his 2.8 yards after contact per carry in 2021 was his
best mark in the last four seasons, comparing favorably to the NFL's elite like Chubb and
Jonathan Taylor. The Browns offense could look very different once Deshaun Watson is under center -- and should be more efficient -- but that won't happen until Week 13 when the QB is done serving his 11-game suspension.
