Hunt gets stuffed

While Nick Chubb was the heart and soul of this Browns offense, Kareem Hunt has done a great job of filling in. He’s been used all over the field and has already scored six times on the year. To take him lightly would be a mistake, and considering the Brown’s reliance on the rushing game, stopping Hunt has to be a priority.

Luckily for the Steelers, the strongest aspect of their defense is their run defense. They have held some quality players to lackluster gains, with their worst showing having been to Melvin Gordon in week two. Considering the Browns offensive line is banged up as well, Hunt could be in for a long day getting bullied by a physical Steelers defense.

Don’t be surprised if Hunt has a mediocre day on Sunday. While his versatility in the passing game could give him a decent yardage output, he appears to have a long day running the ball ahead of him. While a score could salvage his day fantasy-wise, be prepared for a lackluster day overall from Hunt. Considering the Browns rely heavily on the running game, this could be a key reason the Steelers grab a win.
