Browns' Kareem Hunt (ankle) inactive for Week 17
The Cleveland Browns have listed running back Kareem Hunt (ankle) as inactive for their Week 17 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
What It Means:
This comes as a surprise after reports earlier today that Hunt was expected to play after a good end to the week, but it's possible the team is playing it safe with Hunt's health after they were eliminated from playoff contention earlier this weekend. Hunt's absence opens up a massive opportunity for Nick Chubb.
Chubb is currently projected to score 14.3 fantasy points against the Steelers, but could see that projection spike with the news of Hunt's inactive status. The star back has averaged over 100 yards from scrimmage in his fourth season and will now face a defense that has allowed 190 rushing yards per game over its past three contests.
