Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports Browns RB Kareem Hunt is expected to miss several weeks with his calf injury. He’ll likely head to IR.
Fantasy Impact: Rapoport adds calf injuries are always tough to predict, but that the rough estimate for Hunt is 4-6 weeks. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports Hunt is out “at least three weeks.” Nick Chubb didn’t play in Week 6 due to his own calf issue and it remains to be seen if he’ll be available for Thursday’s Week 7 contest against the Broncos. D’Ernest Johnson would likely operate as Cleveland’s early down option if Chubb sits, which instantly gives him low-end RB2 value. Demetric Felton could also receiving more pass catching work out of the backfield. Once Chubb returns, though, he could be in line for career-best usage.
