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.
