Summary

Running Back Rank: #96All Players: #466

Hardesty was the top backup for the Browns last season but didn't get many chances. He did have double-digit carries three times but had just 65 carries overall, which was less than his rookie year. He has less than 300-rushing yards each of his first two seasons in the league. Hardesty hasn't made much progress since entering the league. And a new coaching regime in Cleveland could be a bad or good for Hardesty. He gets a fresh start but also isn't guaranteed anything going forward. Best case is he is the top backup again and worst case is he gets cut. Hardesty is a physical runner. He does a good job setting up his blocks and breaking tackles. Hardesty probably lacks ideal speed to be an every-down back but has enough to make some plays to the outside.

FANTASY OUTLOOK

Hardesty has done little to show he is worth a roster spot. Don't bother with him come draft day. A season with around 350 total yards seems about right for him.

Notes

Feb 10 11:03 pm

The new coaching staff is spending a lot of time evaluating RB Montario Hardesty, who had 271 rushing yards and a 4.2 yards per carry average on 65 rushes in 2012. Hardesty has one year remaining on his contract at $630,000, so he would be cheap to cut or keep for depth.

Cleveland Browns head coach Pat Shurmur said Sunday, Oct. 21, that RB Trent Richardson (ribs) did not suffer any setbacks with his injury in Week 7 against the Indianapolis Colts. Richardson struggled, and Shurmur said the Colts stacked the box, so the team elected to keep passing. Shurmur also said he played RB Montario Hardesty more because he didn't feel Richardson was as effective as usual early on.
