The fact that Hunt finished as the No.8 overall running back in standard scoring, despite missing five games, tells you everything you need to know about his talent and value. After a relatively slow start, Hunt began to fill up the stat sheet from Week 4-9, scoring 10 total touchdowns during that span. I'll be perfectly honest, I'm not really sure where to value Hunt in the 2019 season. He's going to end up missing more than half of the fantasy year, and what will his role be when he does return? If Nick Chubb and the offense is rolling, will Hunt be more of a bit player? My gut tells me that Hunt is more than worth stashing on your roster, as he has title winning potential should he grab a lion's share of the backfield work on this offense. The Browns didn't risk the backlash Hunt provided simply to have him be a role player. They saw this as a chance to get a difference making talent for very little monetary risk, and frankly, he's a much better schematic fit for what this offense wants to do. I see him commanding at least a 50/50 split with Chubb initially, and could be the clear lead back just as the fantasy playoffs come around. If your league has extra roster spots, stashing Hunt for 8 weeks becomes a lot easier, but I believe in his talent enough to make roster concessions if I'm forced to.
