Travis Hunter Fantasy Stats

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver/defensive back Travis Hunter has barely seen the field as a wideout this season. The 23-year-old recorded one catch for eight yards in the season opener. Hunter did nothing in Week 2, but he played 10 percent of the offensive snaps during the loss to the Denver Broncos. It seems unlikely that Hunter is going to have a legitimate weekly role in this passing attack. The Jaguars have too many good options ahead of him, and Hunter gets lost in the shuffle. The Jaguars will likely have certain offensive packages for Hunter, but it won't be enough to start him in any fantasy leagues as a receiver.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter barely had an offensive role in Week 1. He played four snaps on offense in the 34-10 win over Cleveland and 29 on defense. Hunter touched the ball on two of those four offensive plays, catching his only target for eight yards and adding three yards on one carry. The bigger issue is getting onto the field. Jacksonville had already been leaning Hunter toward cornerback late in camp, and the opener made that concern very real for fantasy managers. Parker Washington caught five passes for 83 yards and a touchdown, while Jakobi Meyers also scored. Both were on the field for more than 60% of the offensive snaps. Hunter was at 7%. Brian Thomas Jr. also remains ahead of him in the receiver mix. There may still be packages for Hunter on offense, but four snaps is nowhere near enough to support consistent fantasy value. His stock is still sliding after Week 1.

Jacksonville Jaguars 2025 second overall pick, wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter, enters the 2026 season with reports from camp suggesting that head coach Liam Coen plans to utilize Hunter on both sides of the ball, and Hunter has reportedly taken reps almost exclusively at cornerback for the last few weeks. While Hunter holds value as a professional football player, his ability to play both sides of the ball impacts his ability to be impactful in fantasy football when he is splitting his time. The Jaguars also have a crowded receiver room that includes Parker Washington, Brian Thomas Jr., Jakobi Meyers, and Brenton Strange. While it's possible that Hunter may have spike weeks where he goes off for a big play, it's too unpredictable and unreliable when it comes to the fantasy football lens. RotoBaller currently ranks Hunter as the WR81 and the 210th overall player off the board, making him undraftable in most 12-team formats.

Billed as football's answer to Shohei Ohtani when he was selected second overall in the 2025 NFL Draft, Jacksonville Jaguars two-way player Travis Hunter spent the majority of his rookie campaign on the offensive side of the ball before an LCL injury ended his season right when he looked to be on the verge of a breakout. Heading into his second season, the Jaguars' depth chart has dictated that he will spend most of his time on defense, and the team is preparing him to be the number one cornerback. In defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile's zone-based system, Hunter is unlikely to follow the opponents' top receiver across the formation, but after gaining 10-12 pounds of muscle over the offseason, he will be trusted to shut down one side of the field. Hunter projects to see time on offense still, but with a receiver room of Parker Washington, Brian Thomas Jr., and Jakobi Meyers manning the top reps, he will be hard-pressed to find any consistent fantasy value outside of IDP leagues with positional delineations and a cornerback requirement.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. has been sharing reps as the No. 3 receiver with Travis Hunter, according to Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com. For most of training camp, when Thomas has been on the field, Hunter has been on the sideline, and vice versa. Additionally, DiRocco reports that although Thomas has been impressive this summer, the Jaguars have given far more reps to Jakobi Meyers and Parker Washington, whom they are reluctant to take off the field. At this point, fantasy managers should be concerned that Thomas is going to open the season sharing reps as the Jags' No. 3 receiver. Additionally, although Hunter is expected to play more defense than offense, all signs point to Thomas coming off the field when the Jaguars choose to give Hunter reps at wide receiver. Thomas has fallen to WR33 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy football rankings, making him a fringe WR3/flex in most leagues.

Jacksonville Jaguars two-way player Travis Hunter is listed as the backup wide receiver, but a starting defensive back on the first unofficial depth chart, according to Ryan O'Halloran. The Jags have been shy about saying how they plan to deploy Hunter this upcoming season. According to Michael DiRocco of ESPN, Hunter has taken nearly 100 snaps on defense and 61 on offense during 11-on-11 drills. Jaguars head coach Liam Coen said Hunter won't need to know the entire offensive playbook this year. This offense does have Brian Thomas Jr., Jakobi Meyers, and Parker Washington, so having Hunter is just a plus. Hunter is currently ranked as Rotoballer's WR72, but he could be a difference-maker depending on how the Jags use him.

Through the early days of training camp, Jacksonville Jaguars two-way player Travis Hunter has featured primarily with the defense, but he made a number of standout offensive plays during Sunday's practice. The second-year player got open for a pair of deep catches during what has been his most active session of the summer. Not neglecting his defensive responsibilities, Hunter also intercepted backup quarterback Nick Mullens on a day that showcased his truly unique skill set. The second overall pick of the 2025 NFL Draft will continue to be one of the most difficult fantasy projections throughout his early career, as the talent is obvious, but there will be no accounting for usage from week to week. Hunter is RotoBaller's WR72 but could prove to be a difference-maker for risk-tolerant drafters.

The Jacksonville Jaguars have taken to the field for their first practice of training camp, and second-year two-way player Travis Hunter started the day wearing a teal offensive jersey, warming up alongside the other non-special-teams wide receivers before breaking off with the defensive backs for individual drills. Hunter's year two usage, and how he fits into an already crowded receiver room, have been some of the biggest storylines of the Jaguars offseason, and the message sent by the team to open camp offers little clarification. While operating primarily on the offensive side of the ball as a rookie, Hunter caught only 28 passes for 298 yards before an LCL injury ended his season after seven games. Still, he appeared to be on the verge of a breakout, recording his first 100-yard game and catching the first touchdown of his career in the Week 7 contest he left injured. Hunter's upside is undeniable, and with him falling as far in drafts as he has, any usage-related risk is all but removed, making him a player to target in the late rounds as RotoBaller's WR72.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter was shown sprinting and running routes in rehabilitation footage released by the team as he works back from surgery to repair an isolated LCL injury in his right knee. Hunter injured the knee during an Oct. 30 practice and underwent surgery on Nov. 11, ending his rookie season after seven games. Head coach Liam Coen said during June minicamp that Hunter reached 22.6 mph in a rehabilitation sprint, though that speed was recorded on June 9 rather than during training camp. Hunter caught 28 passes for 298 yards and one touchdown while adding 15 tackles and three passes defensed as a rookie. Jacksonville plans to continue using him on both sides of the ball, with general manager James Gladstone saying his cornerback workload should increase. The footage and verified speed mark are positive signs, but workout results do not establish Hunter's training-camp workload or how much offensive work he will retain in 2026. His practice participation and role distribution remain the key fantasy developments to monitor.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver and cornerback Travis Hunter is one of the hardest players to price in dynasty because his real-life value may not match his fantasy role. His rookie season ended after seven games when an isolated LCL injury in his right knee required surgery. Hunter caught 28 of 45 targets for 298 yards and one touchdown, with eight catches for 101 yards against the Rams accounting for his only clear offensive breakout. Jacksonville still plans to use him both ways, but the expectation entering camp leans toward a full-time defensive role and selective work on offense. That is a problem for fantasy managers. Brian Thomas Jr., Parker Washington, and Jakobi Meyers already give the Jaguars three established receivers, so Hunter does not need to run a full route tree every week. RotoBaller ranks him 114th overall in dynasty. Managers already holding him should wait for camp usage rather than sell low. Rebuilders can buy only at a price that reflects the route uncertainty. Contenders need a steadier offensive role before paying for the name and draft pedigree.
