Summary

Running Back Rank: #72
Overall: #326

Hardesty was limited to 10 games because of a calf injury. He didn't do a whole lot when playing, though, rushing 88 times for 266 yards. He had double-digit carries four times and even had 33 carries in a game but ran for just 95 yards in that game despite all the work. Hardesty hasn't progressed quite as expected after missing all of his rookie season with a torn ACL. He still has some talent but seems to lack some burst to be a top NFL back. Hardesty is a physical runner. He does a good job setting up his blocks and breaking tackles. But as mentioned, Hardesty probably lacks ideal speed to be an every-down back but has enough to make some plays to the outside. He is expected to serve a backup role with the Browns this season.

FANTASY OUTLOOK

Hardesty might be worth a late-round flier but that is about it. He could get 500 or so total yards and a few scores in a reserve role. He has little value unless he is starting, though.

Notes

2012-04-17 13:51:00

Cleveland Browns head coach Pat Shurmur didn't sound particularly enthusiastic with the long-term health of RB Montario Hardesty, who has missed much of the past two seasons with leg injuries. As a result, look for the team to seek a featured back in the NFL Draft - quite possibly Alabama RB Trent Richardson with the fourth overall pick.

Fantasy Impact: Hardesty hasn't shown much since entering the league. He is in a make or break year.

Cleveland Browns head coach Pat Shurmur said Wednesday, Nov. 30, that he doesn't feel RB Montario Hardesty (calf) aggravated his injury, but "we just feel we want to help speed up the healing process and we feel like at least a day here might do that." Hardesty was rested in practice Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact: We still don't expect much from him this week even if active.
