Trevor Lawrence

Travis Hunter is working his way back from a 2025 knee injury and is expected to be a full go for the beginning of training camp, according to Wolfe. The 23-year-old is still going to play both sides of the ball, though Wolfe stated Hunter can be “unleashed” as a starter on defense and “the goal is to eventually have him play nearly all the snaps on defense in a particular game.”

The Jaguars seem to like Hunter much better as a cornerback but he will still play offense with his wide receiver snaps fluctuating depending on the game. Hunter is attending meetings for both sides of the ball and will presumably practice both sides come training camp. He is expected to be healthy and ready to go by the time Jags veterans report to training camp in late July. Hunter is the ultimate boom-bust, upside-only fantasy draft target in fantasy football best ball, dynasty, and seasonal league formats.

The Jacksonville Jaguars locked up Brenton Strange with a contract extension worth up to $48 million with $25 million guaranteed, shutting down any speculation fueled by the team drafting multiple rookie tight ends. Strange earned this commitment by posting 540 receiving yards and a +19.2-percent Target Premium (No. 10 among qualified tight ends) in 2025, building on a 411-yard sophomore campaign.

While block-first tight end Nate Boerkircher clears the runway in heavy formations, Strange remains an efficient weapon who projects as a premium late-round tight end target. Strange is an purgatory tight end in fantasy football seasonal leagues, the contract extension makes him particularly valuable in dynasty formats.

Most recently, Trevor Lawrence said he and Brian Thomas Jr. have “taken a huge step” toward improving their on-field chemistry, and ESPN’s Cameron Wolfe reports that Thomas will be used “on vertical routes” in 2026.

If Jacksonville plans to expand its deep passing game, the Jaguars will have to lean directly into a rejuvenated Thomas. He is impressing coaches and teammates by commanding separation at minicamp after a muted sophomore season containing just 9.9 Fantasy Points Per Game (No. 42).

Thomas faces target competition from teammate Jakobi Meyers, and especially Parker Washington, who earned an impressive +19.6-percent Target Premium (No. 15) and a 124.0 Total Route Win Rate (No. 4) last year. Despite the crowded wide receiver room, Thomas’ vertical profile makes him an absolute best ball bargain at his current depressed draft day cost.

Jacksonville is ready to let Parker Washington handle a full-time role after a 2025 campaign where he delivered 11.5 Fantasy Points Per Game and ranked No. 16 with 2.20 Yards Per Route Run. Offensive coordinator Liam Coen aims to utilize Washington across the formation following a season where the team deployed three-wide receiver sets at a 70.9-percent rate in 2026.

A high-volume slot/flanker role for Washington would lower the weekly floor for Brian Thomas Jr. and Jakobi Meyers. Washington’s ADP continues to surge, and he will continue to be a strong fantasy football buy until the team ultimately extends him.

It is hard to keep up with all the receivers Lawrence is targeting frequently in training camp. When the Jaguars acquired Jakobi Meyers in Week 10 last season, he immediately commanded a team-high 63 targets and 43 receptions down the stretch.

Despite the recent spring buzz surrounding younger teammates Parker Washington, Brian Thomas Jr., and even Tanner Koziol, Meyers projects to be the receptions leader in Jacksonville and should not be overlooked. At age 29.6, Meyers is available later in dynasty start-ups than best ball fantasy football formats.
