Browns' Kareem Hunt (ankle) expected to remain out Week 16
Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt (ankle) is not expected to play Week 16 against the Green Bay Packers, per head coach Kevin Stefanski.
What It Means:
Hunt is headed for a second consecutive absence. Nick Chubb will carry the load again versus the Packers while D'Ernest Johnson and Demetric Felton split Chubb's snaps. Chubb played 66% of the snaps in Week 15 and handled 23-of-24 team rush attempts. Johnson was out-snapped by Felton but both backs were targeted four times each.
numberFire's models project Chubb for 20.1 touches and he is the RB5 in our Week 16 fantasy rankings. Johnson is projected for 6.7 touches.
