The Facts:
Hunt just might have found his way onto a few fantasy football draft boards after his performance Friday night. Hailed as a much needed power-rushing complement to Brian Westbrook, Hunt has quickly found a niche as the Eagles top short-yardage and goal line running option.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
You have to love it when an NFL's team's official web site starts offering Fantasy analysis like that. ... But it certainly looks like more than hype; in fact, it would appear Hunt is living up to off-season expectations. The rookie RB ran for just seven yards on six carries against Carolina, but he scored both of the Eagles' offensive TDs in goal-line scenarios during the 27-10 victory. "Short-yardage, I take that pretty personally I think," said the third-round draft pick. "Those are usually the differences in the ball game: making third down conversions and fourth down conversions. Those are back-breakers." Hunt had two back-breaking scores on Friday and appears to be in line for more.
