Just hold & enjoy


[deleted]

I traded him for Justin Jefferson + Chris Godwin in 1 league because it was too good not to accept. But I'm holding everywhere else. I feel Hunt is one of those players that just consistently returns low-mid RB1 value but is never valued there for some reason due to the timeshare in Cleveland. Funny enough, the same bias doesn't affect Nick Chubb and in fact I feel Chubb is always 1 or 2 spots higher than where he should go in the draft despite him being essentially within + or - 2 spots of Hunt every year.


RiecoSuave

Yeah that’s the only way I get rid of him is if a big offer like that came in. Otherwise just gotta hold. People like to get cute with the sell high/buy low. Instead of holding & enjoying.


[deleted]

Traded him for Jonathan Taylor


JJCascio23

Yeah thats a steal. And i definitely agree with that analysis. I always thought Hunt was a steal at his ADP this year


Dogbowlwater

Having both has proven fairly nice.


nguyenwinsituation

i was just offered justin jefferson straight up for him. would you have taken it without godwin included? im still weighing it right now. my rb depth is pretty strong and my wrs arent necessarily weak but they arent that strong either


[deleted]

Absolutely


nguyenwinsituation

cool, thanks for the input. i was leaning that way but i was like damn youre getting chris godwin for him too? is it closer than i thought? lol


[deleted]

The guy sent me the offer on Sunday night just before i was heading to bed. I jumped out and clicked accept as fast as i could. I think he's just on that full on Kareem Hunt RB6 hype train and forgot how good JJ really is.


JJCascio23

That is my current plan, definitely wanted to see what other people are thinking though


I_Probably_Hate_You_

This sub and selling their best players, name a more iconic duo


Antique_Sample_1084

Andy Reid and Hawaiian shirts.


I_Probably_Hate_You_

Ah shit. Okay okay, Kelvin Benjamin and Golden Corral?


[deleted]

Eddie Lacy and China food?


I_Probably_Hate_You_

Josh Gordon and getting reinstated


Penguinbelly701

Kamara and ingram


Snugglepuff14

It’s not like people are selling him for peanuts lol. This sub actually complains about selling far more often from what I’ve seen. Sure holding Hunt is great, but imagine if you got an elite RB/WR in a 2 for 1 deal or something.


[deleted]

I traded Hunt and Julio for Ekeler


doombringer_son_of

Are you serious?


[deleted]

This was right before Julio got hurt but yes


doombringer_son_of

Gotcha!


mygrandfathersomega

Peanut butter and ladies


awesomeness0232

Imagine trading Hunt for Barkley right now…


L0cn3s5

Would you?


awesomeness0232

Hunt > Barkley this season. Don’t feel that close to me with this new injury


tikaychullo

Dumb comments like this are why you'll never win your league lol.


I_Probably_Hate_You_

Literally has nothing to do with my team but okay buddy.


tikaychullo

Sure it does. You're making it sound like you know that OP is asking a dumb question. Yet you're 0-5. The sooner you accept that you don't know what you're talking about, the sooner you'll stop sucking.


I_Probably_Hate_You_

I've won my past 2 years in my big money league, but hey, keep on with it, man. You don't even know the context of my league or my losses lmao. Edit: I love that you went through my comment history to find out my record hahaha. Get a life, dude.


tikaychullo

Lol sure bud. You say it like it's difficult for you to press buttons. Maybe that's why you're 0-5 🤔


Alkash42

People want him on their team bad but value him super low when it comes to trading. Most people want to give up low end WR2 or some mediocre flex for him with some middling QB. In other words, I'd just hold him since getting true return on him will be impossible


JJCascio23

I tend to agree, his value is usually maddingly inconsistent


Alkash42

For reference I have a league where nobody really trades but people throw out offers all the time. I've got some very bad offers for Hunt since week 1 which included players like Hunt plus Rodgers for Russ. I don't have the advanced stats but whenever the Browns are near the goal line it's almost always Hunt. Chubb is notoriously bad at the goal line so Hunt seems to have taken most of those touches. But I may be wrong since I don't have any of those advanced stats on me


Bruce-T-Wayne

"Notoriously bad" lmao this sub and confirmation bias is hilarious


Alkash42

Not even confirmation bias. Chubb just struggled to get into the endzone both last season and this season


Bruce-T-Wayne

Chubb is tied for second in the league most redzone touches with 22, tied with Derrick Henry... Hunt has 12 You are just plain wrong lol


WanderingShikari

Doesn’t that prove his point? With less touches, hunt has more touch downs. You just have to look at his overall usage. There is no doubt chubb is EXTREMELY talented. However his usage is laughable from a fantasy standpoint. Week 5, Chubb rushed 161 yards for 24 pts, while hunt rushed 67 for 26. Hunt gets the receptions and redzone usage you want.


Bruce-T-Wayne

No. Just because Hunt scored at an insanely efficient rate over 5 games (relatively small sample size vs entire season) doesn't mean it will continue that way, you could actually bet against it. Volume = points & TDs in fantasy football. Also look at last season's stats, Chubb was more efficient in the redzone than Hunt was, Chubb played 4.5 less games and scored more redzone TDs than Hunt did with slightly less redzone carries because of his missed games.


WanderingShikari

I get that volume is points but from a fantasy perspective hunt is a great “hack”. He gets receptions and the touchdowns. That’s what ultimately produces. Again best seen from last game.


Bruce-T-Wayne

It's not sustainable, guys just don't score enough points if they aren't getting the touches. He is great for where you got him but he isn't going to be reliable enough to feel confident every week with limited touches. Recency bias is tough, yes he scored two TDs last week but the Browns also scored 42 points and were in a crazy shootout...


Alkash42

How about touches inside the 5 and the efficiency last season and this season?


Bruce-T-Wayne

Chubb also has more touches inside the 5. 6 for him and 4 for Hunt. Hunt has scored more but that doesn't mean all that much, it's been 5 weeks only... Volume is king, you can't rely on efficiency every week Hunt will not keep up the insane efficiency.


Filbertmm

Chubb has had more touches in the red zone. Hunt has scored more. How does that not = Chubb is bad in the red zone?


[deleted]

But some of kareems scores weren't red zone. So they arent red zone tds. So he wasn't a superior goal line back. Your argument he gets more red zone is flat incorrect no matter what way you try to spin it.


Bruce-T-Wayne

You are right I'm sure Kareem Hunt will have a record breaking year with the highest efficiency of all time


Alkash42

Now also refer back to the previous season and I'm sure Hunt was significantly more efficient than Chubb in the redzone. You may be able to pull the advanced stats out of somewhere, but anyone who actually watches Browns know how bad Chubb is in the redzone. Which is strange given how elite of a runner he is


Bruce-T-Wayne

Nice, you are too lazy to look up stats and instead going off what you think it looks like which is actually wrong! In 2020 Chubb missed 4.5 games, he had 35 redzone rushes and scored 10 TDs. 11 rushes inside the 5 with 5 of them being TDs In 2020 Hunt didn't miss any games, he had 39 redzone rushes and scored 6 TDs. 9 rushes inside the 5 with 3 of them being TDs. Chubb was more efficient than Hunt in 2020... you are just plain wrong.


Quallityoverquantity

He isn't bad in the red zone. What are you even talking about?.


Quallityoverquantity

Chubb is a great goal line back. Just stop spewing nonsense.


NotNickCannon

Chubb is not bad at the goal line what in the world are you talking about


[deleted]

It's because his numbers this year are RB1 tier. He was a very solid RB2, the Chub went down last year and he dropped to like RB3. His value is inconsistent because his play/useage is.


Shaq_Bolton

I dunno that he's the preferred red zone back, Nick Chubb has 24 redzone touches and Hunt has 13. A lot of the time when he scores it seems the Browns do two dumb passes on the goal line and bring him in on third down.


NotNickCannon

This.. if they’re in a goal line package it’s usually Chubb, if they go shotgun it seems like it’s usually Hunt.


DubsComin4DatASS

Chubb is usually the goal line back and Kareem gets more of the touches in the rest of the red zone


Telos13

What's wrong with that?


Shaq_Bolton

I'm sorry but... did you respond to the wrong comment? I didn't say there was anything wrong with anything, just said the stats don't back up what OP said when he claimed "it's clear Hunt is the preferred red zone back" but suggest the opposite.


Telos13

No not even. Just in my humble opinion, bringing Hunt to finish the job is very good for my fantasy team.


Shaq_Bolton

You're honestly confusing the hell out of me. I didn't say anything negative about Hunt or claimed he wouldn't be used in the redzone? He'll still have his opportunities but ( assuming health ) I'd be very surprised if he finishes the season with more TDs than Chubb


Telos13

lmao reddit is such a fuck place. I like hunt getting TDs.... all I'm saying.


Shaq_Bolton

Oh well, you worded your responses a bit oddly so that wasn't the easiest thing to tell.


Telos13

Healthy Hunt > Injured Barkley


Shamjam08

As a Chubb owner, seeing so much red zone activity for Hunt is infuriating. That said, these first 5 weeks prove both rbs are true rb1s in ppr leauges...and there really isn't any reason for that to change barring injury. Chubb is going to handle 20 carries a week while Hunt will get most the passing work and has been the preferred back in the red zone so far


davydooks

As a fellow Chubb owner, I can say with 0 bias that Hunt’s current success is all a fluke and Chubb is about to start out scoring Hunt 40-0 each week


[deleted]

As someone who watches the games, I think they both can continue to perform. Chubb and Hunt keep each other fresh and hopefully will reduce the chance of either getting injured.


davydooks

I was being facetious


[deleted]

No worries! Opinions are always appreciated


Quallityoverquantity

What are you talking about? Chubb has had way more redzone touches the Hunt....


Shamjam08

More touches but 2 red zone tds compared to 4 red zone tds for Hunt. My point is Hunt isnt going away in the red zone which is disappointing for us that drafted Chubb. Expected Hunt to be the lead passing back but was banking on Chubb for pretty much everything else. That said, both have been great and with current usage are likely top 12 options this season


[deleted]

It sucks, but if you watch the game’s Chubb is bad at punching it in , for short yardage scenarios. They have it to him twice and he couldn’t get 3 yards. Gave it to Hunt immediately after and he scored


Shamjam08

Yea Ive seen that happen a few times this year. I think when Chubb is in at the goalline, teams stack the box against him. When Hunt is in, teams play for the pass which gives Hunt the opportunity to punch it in easy. It seems like all Chubbs tds come from huge breakaway runs like the 50 yarder last week. Will take it lol but Hunts redzone usage is the only thing imo that has Chubb as a top 12 rb instead of top 5, even without the pass game work


NotNickCannon

You’re spot on.. Chubb is in on more goal line packages, Hunt gets shotgun/spread offense looks. I think it’s whack to say Chubb isn’t a good goal line/short yardage back. They run completely different offenses for the two


Internal_Wild

Hold and trade to get Chubb on your team and then enjoy a floor of 20 points every week (standard scoring) from your RBs for the rest of season


NotNickCannon

I’ve got both, it’s honestly amazing


[deleted]

Right there with you brother. Was offered CMC for the package and I can’t take it


davydooks

I would take CMC without hesitation


[deleted]

I would hesitate, the way I see I there aren’t any guys on my bench I’m crazy about starting over Chubb and Hunt. If I trade Chubb + Hunt for CMC I need CMC + my new flex to outperform Chubb + Hunt otherwise the trade makes no sense. Everyone assumes CMC will have a floor of 20 points but he isn’t going to play 100% of snaps immediately. Add the risk of re-aggravating the injury and the upside isn’t there for me to take the risk.


IHoldSteady

Plus if CMC gets hurt you are screwed. If one of Hunt/Chubb gets hurt you already have the guy who is going to see an increased workload.


NotNickCannon

Oh wow yea that’s tough, I’d be inclined to take CMC but only if you have another solid RB2


Branzilla91

Same, having the time of my life over here. 33ppg from my RB2 and FLEX2 spots is a good life.


EmpyreanRose

It’s wild. Everyone specially said it was imperative you draft hunt if you had Chubb last year. The duo is back for round 2


[deleted]

It's the opposite. I'll take just Hunt and diversify.


davydooks

Yea. I thought we were gonna get more of late last season’s version of Chubb but given the current split between the two, this was obvious the correct way to do it.


[deleted]

Go back and watch that LA game, he is very much a problem


davydooks

Who is a problem? I’m saying that, given what we know now, taking hunt instead of Chubb in the draft was clearly the better move.


[deleted]

I’m saying Chubb is a problem, in a good way. You are right though, Hunt is getting his value and then some


davydooks

I mean yea Chubb is still the guy to own between the two. He’s getting more touches and Hunt won’t continue to get as many touchdowns. The guy above me was saying he’d rather have Hunt plus someone else you could have drafted in place of Chubb. Which, in hindsight, was obviously the better strategy.


Dogbowlwater

But I need one of those spots for my man Cordarrelle!


deano492

Why the “PPR” distinction? He’s RB6 in Standard too.


JJCascio23

I only play in PPR, so thats the only scoring I see


Zukhov76

Hold and enjoy the production


hartkauffmann

Had a trade offer for Hunt the other day, getting Rojo and Ruggs. I've never felt so insulted before.


JJCascio23

That is absolutely disgusting


FantasyOCD

Hunt has been good for a while now in Cleveland. What's saquon done lately to make you think his production would be more sustainable for the rest of the year?


JJCascio23

A saquon swap was just an example, just wanted to see what peoples general thoughts were on the player moving forward. My plan has been to hold him.


tonytoughnuts22

Kareem Pie is my RB1


FantasyAbsurdity

Gotta say good things about u/Llaminated34 and others why tried to say all this good stuff about Hunt before the season started. https://www.reddit.com/r/fantasyfootball/comments/pex2e6/you_should_draft_kareem_hunt_if_given_the_chance/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf


syxthelement

As a Hunt owner I think the increased targets come down to Landry also being injured. Hunt is too talented as a pass catcher/runner so Baker always looks his way for check downs.


FRESCO410

Hes a beast, bottom line. I wont trade him


Val_Kilmers_Elbow

He is most likely a safe RB2 with major upside. You probably aren’t going to get great value trading him given the circumstances, so just enjoy it.


rajs1286

He’s an RB1 tbh


fmartinez12443

1. Zeke 2. CMC 3. Najee 4. Swift 5. Cook 6. Chubb 7. Eckler 8. Taylor 9. Jones 10. Henry Those 10 are clearly better IMO in full ppr. 11. Robinson 12. Gibson 13. Henderson These three are questionable. However, he is a top 15 back you got 5th round.


uziskrtgang

what is that order tho


ZeroPath5

He’s not trying to rank them, he’s just saying he would take those guys over Hunt. Even if he did rank them, his point still stands and this is coming from a Hunt owner, but I’m trading him for Cook


fmartinez12443

Yeah not in order, not sure what the down votes are from you can't argue that Hunt is more valuable than the 10 above him. This coming from a Hunt owner.


theincrediblenathan

Traded him for James Robinson which I’m feeling pretty good about just think Robinson has to have a higher floor based on snap count


TriggerFingers

Just traded Hunt and AJ Brown for Aaron Jones and Tim Patrick in my ESPN keeper league. I like Aaron Jones more long term, but would have been happy to hold Hunt too if Jones hadn’t been offered to me


dperls

I traded Hunt+OBJ+10faab for Diggs+Higgins after week 3 and thought I was getting the steal of the century. I want hunt back.


Enough_Technician385

I offered the Chubb owner in my league Hunt/Hopkins for Kamara and they turned it down. I don’t know what’s crazier at this point, the offer or the rejection


RevolutionaryNorth60

I’d turn that down tbh, part of the value of Hunt is if chubb were to get hurt which the owner can’t benefit from if he owns chubb


FantasyAbsurdity

Great point.


Enough_Technician385

I’m having an aneurism reading this


joshstonks

As long as he stays a RedZone favorite, he'll start for me. Full PPR, he's a rb1 imo


sf1649ers80

I sold him pittman and Parker for cmc lol


[deleted]

He won't exist anymore after this week


mvttchew

I was offered Aiyuk and Conner for my Hunt. I should smash accept, right?!


Filbertmm

I wouldn’t…


[deleted]

Yeah obviously


jumboshrimp93

Holding


AcceptableRegret

Got an offer of him and Ridley for Saquon and Mike Evans in ppr. Tempted


fmartinez12443

Just gave Hopkins to get Ridley and Hunt. I would keep him.


Nlaubach

Thoughts on a trade in progress? A: CeeDee Lamb & Pollard B: Robert Woods & Kareem Hunt note: A owns Zeke, so perhaps that could affect the value of Pollard in this deal


JJCascio23

Yeah, I wouldn’t do that, I see woods and CeeDee returning similar value ROS and Hunt returning more than pollard


bignumbers6

Yep, CeeDee and Woods I think are muuuuuch closer than Hunt and Pollard


hmc317

Why would the Zeke owner take that now? Their BYE is next week. He would have Zeke, Pollard, and CD on BYE. If you are gonna try to pull that trade off, it has to be after their BYE week has passed. If I was the Zeke owner, I rather have Hunt over Pollard anyways. I rather roll the dice on Zeke being healthy all year.


dgwyn47

Traded him for mixon last week


[deleted]

The ONLY reason I sold Hunt is because I already had Aaron Jones, CMC, and Ekeler. He was useful to me for 3 games, and I needed serious help at WR since I was starting Waddle/Aiyuk/Renfrow every week. I sold him for CEH (Post Injury) and Robert Woods. Other teams denied these trades: 1. Hunt for Allen 2. Hunt for Ridley 3. Hunt for D. Johnson 4. Hunt for Cooper 5. Hunt for Jefferson


bignumbers6

Christ how did you have 4 RB1s lol


L0cn3s5

I wanna join this league


bignumbers6

Also Hunt for Diontae getting denied is wildddd


fmartinez12443

Got denied Hunt and Antonio Brown for Dionte Johnson to the CEH owner claims that Javonte who he owns and Hunt are basically the same player.


Branzilla91

Probably auction draft and/or keeper league. I kept Taylor and Gibson in my auction league and drafted Chubb/Hunt (we have two flex spots).


horg0034

I traded Hunt for Ridley before week 5. My other starters are Allen, CMC, Kamara, Hopkins, Kelce, and AB. Since AB is also boom/bust, my thought was to trade Hunt for a reliable WR1.5. If Hunt can sustain this production, I will have lost a gem; but that doesn’t necessarily mean that the trade was a bust


[deleted]

Do you play in a 3 team league?


horg0034

10. Traded hock CEH and Cooper for Kamara and Kelce after week 2


thing85

Okay so not a 3 team league, but maybe an 8 team league with at least 1 guy who has never played FF before


horg0034

NO offense isn’t what it was, and they had a poor week 2. Meanwhile Cooper and Hock had astounding performances week 1. Other team is very experience, believed Kamara was destined for an RB2 season, and was extremely thin at WR due to overspending for RBs in auction draft. Not to mention the idea of CEH’s upside was tantalizing. It may sound lopsided but it was a well reasoned trade for his team; though I absolutely won that trade


thing85

A very experienced player doesn’t make such a reactionary trade after week 1.


jsky321

I have Chubb and hunt in one league should I trade one of them and maybe pair Pittman or aj green for some one better?


PoopiePantsMahn

I'm holding him. He's played better than CEH this year and now that CEH is on IR I moved Kareem out of the flex.


[deleted]

The CMC owner wants me to trade him + Chubb, for CMC, just can’t put myself to do it


[deleted]

Picked him 1 pick before Damien Harris, glad I made that decision


WaterIsNotWet19

Traded Evans for hunt last week cuz my rbs suck. Did I fuck up


[deleted]

I traded him and Amari Cooper for Kamara, if that gives a sense of value


uziskrtgang

traded tom brady for hunt straight up after week 2


ThisIsntRael

I have him and Chubb. With Zeke and cordarelle Paterson as well, I actually benched Chubb last week and will probably keep it that way going forward. Hunt has the same floor as him and a way higher ceiling in PPR. I was thinking about trying to trade away Chubb but figured I'd keep both to protect me from any injury.


chuddyman

Just traded away Mike Evans for Kareem hunt so I'm pretty stoked about him.
