Travis Hunter played more offense than defense last year, yet he is still expected to see a significant increase in snaps at cornerback this season. Hunter previously flashed breakout potential as a wide receiver before a knee injury cut his promising debut short.
Jacksonville needs manpower in the secondary and has the luxury of a crowded WR depth chart. Hunter will play a role on offense, but he does not project to command the necessary volume to provide real fantasy value during his sophomore campaign. Savvy dynasty leaguers will use this most recent Hunter coachspeak as a sell window.

Trevor Lawrence and Liam Coen have found common ground, and the Jaguars have been rolling for the last seven games. In six of the seven games, Trevor Lawrence has scored as a QB1, vaulting his fantasy value back to levels we saw in his rookie season. Is this production real or just a trap?
While the passing attack wasn’t the focal point against the Colts, Lawrence got it done on the ground, scoring two touchdowns with his legs. Parker Washington continued his hot run, recording eight catches for 115 yards. Lawrence says the team is very confident heading into Week 18’s clash with the Titans.

The Prince that was promised arrived on Sunday as Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars laid an absolute beatdown on the New York Jets. Lawrence accounted for six touchdowns on the day, including a career high of five passing touchdowns, completing 20 of 32 passes for 330 yards, while adding 51 yards and a score on the ground, and didn’t have a turnover for the third consecutive game. He currently sits as the QB1 in Week 15 heading into SNF.
The primary beneficiary of the historic day was running back Travis Etienne, who was on the receiving end of three of the touchdowns, highlighted by a 45-yard catch and run. Etienne sits as the RB1 for the week. The duo has played together for seven years, and Etienne has never seen Lawrence like this; he’s on fire. Fantasy managers who started either player in the first round of playoff matchups hope their performances were enough to advance them to round two.

Buckle up fantasy football managers! Rookie dual threat Travis Hunter is set to primarily play wide receiver in Week 1 with a situational role at cornerback. This is welcome news for those who have been drafting him all offseason amidst the fear of a more even split.
The big winners here are fantasy managers who play in IDP leagues. Hunter will be able to be slotted in the defensive back slot while generating points as a wide receiver. This is a cheat code not seen since Taysom Hill of the Saints was slotted as a tight end yet being deployed as a quarterback. Also, those who believed in Travis Hunter as the WR1 in this rookie class are feeling an extra pep in their step.
The Jaguars are claiming that Hunter’s role will change on a weekly basis, but it is difficult to envision Trevor Lawrence and the collective offense not clamoring for Hunter to be used on offense. Fire up Travis Hunter everywhere in a juicy matchup against the Carolina Panthers.

The Jacksonville Jaguars are making big changes to their offense. Those plans do not include wide receiver Gabriel Davis as he has been released. With head coach Liam Coen coming to town, a revival in fantasy goodness is expected with Trevor Lawrence at the helm.
The Jaguars made a bold move to support Lawrence’s ascendance by trading up to pick 2 in the NFL Draft in order to select the hybrid 2024 Heisman winner in Colorado’s Travis Hunter. Opposite of Brian Thomas Jr. the Jaguars are bound to improve significantly on offense.
As Ferris Bueller once said, “Life moves pretty fast.” With Gabriel Davis it is in the form of being released 1 year into his 3-year, $39 million contract. Look for Davis to sign a low risk 1-year deal with a wide receiver needy team. A Bills reunion immediately comes to mind.

After all the talk about the Jacksonville Jaguars potentially trading up for Ashton Jeanty in the 2025 NFL Draft, the team dialed it up a notch by trading for the No. 2 pick from Cleveland to select two-way threat Travis Hunter.
Hunter has repeatedly said he would only play if he could continue to line up at wide receiver and defensive back. The Browns were expected to give him that opportunity, but Jacksonville must have sweetened the deal to make the first big splash on the evening. Terms of the trade were not immediately available.
Per ESPN Insider Adam Schefter, the Jaguars are expected first to introduce Hunter to the receiving corps while still working him into his more natural position in the defensive backfield. He will line up across from last year’s breakout rookie Brian Thomas Jr, giving Trevor Lawrence a more potent arsenal than he’s had in recent memory.
