Travis Hunter's Offensive Usage on the Rise?
Jacksonville Jaguars two-way star Travis Hunter usage on both sides of the ball in his first NFL season has been fluid through the first eight weeks of the season. However, he played a season-high 87% of the offensive snaps in London in the Week 7 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, and head coach Liam Coen has hinted that the 22-year-old Heisman Trophy winner's role on offense could continue to grow in the second half of the year. ESPN's Michael DiRocco says not to be surprised if Hunter "starts getting the WR1 treatment." In the blowout loss to L.A. before the team's Week 8 bye, Hunter had his breakout game, catching eight of 14 targets for 101 yards and his first touchdown of the year. It will be interesting to see how Hunter is used on both sides of the ball down the stretch, but if he does end up becoming more of a full-time offensive piece, he'll have clear WR2 upside to close out his rookie campaign.
