Travis Hunter Still "Viewed as a Cornerstone Piece Offensively" in Jacksonville
Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback/wide receiver Travis Hunter is "still viewed as a cornerstone piece offensively and a dangerous downfield threat," according to Gilberto Manzano of Sports Illustrated. Hunter's rookie year in 2025 was cut short after he suffered a season-ending LCL injury in Week 7. Before the injury, he played 67% of Jacksonville's offensive snaps and 36% of the team's defensive snaps, and the prevailing thought this offseason has been that his usage could shift more towards the defensive side of the ball in 2026. However, Manzano's reporting suggests that Hunter could remain heavily involved in the Jaguars passing game. The 23-year-old recorded 28 receptions for 298 yards and a touchdown on 45 targets last season and had his best game in his final appearance of the year, hauling in eight catches for 101 yards and a score on 14 targets against the Los Angeles Rams. Hunter's fantasy value is difficult to project due to his uncertain role, but he remains a high-upside wide receiver option if he can carve out consistent playing time on offense.
