How many better receiver duos are there in the NFL than BTJ and Travis Hunter? Can’t be that many.

Chris Trapasso
2. Jaguars - Travis Hunter, CB/WR, Colorado

Transcendent player for the Jaguars. Smooth + explosive. Ball skills galore. YAC is dynamic. Lockdown man coverage. Plus zone instincts. Fast too. Overpayment (854 to 808 on draft chart) must be considered. But special dude.

Grade: B+

Have to assume for that cost they expect him to play both ways and more then dabble. Right?

My thoughts as well. If both parties are committed to a true 50/50, I don't think I can take him top-5 in dynasty rookie drafts lacking IDP double-up scoring settings. I think he went from the only WR that mattered in the top half of round 1 to a real debate with Tet.

 

[Soulfly3]

I'm sad, but 95% he'll be on my roster with the 3 pick in my big dynasty league.
Silver lining...

 

[Ilov80s]

Hunter stock up. I think you can consider him now around picks 3-5.

[zamboni]

Can't deny his immense talent from an NFL perspective, but for fantasy purposes it's going to be very tricky drafting him if you don't play in IDP leagues and WR is your only scoring option.

My take is if he’s as good as the evaluators are saying at playing WR, he’s going to get a ton of targets because they need him to and they need to make sure Lawrence reaches his ceiling. TLaw is the franchise and you got to support him.

 

[Wigglytuff's Gruff]

Hunter stock up. I think you can consider him now around picks 3-5.

Not for me.

I'm not in line to draft him anywhere in upcoming fantasy drafts but if I were, I'd have wanted him to land somewhere where he had a clear path to being the teams WR1. Him being on a team with BTJ significantly hinders that outcome.

Not suggesting he won't be a good productive player but there were many realistic options better than this one. Browns and Pats for sure.

The opportunity is certainly there with them jettisoning Kirk and Engram, and really only Thomas at the WR spot.

Yes it is a concern but there’s also a decent chance he’s better than Thomas. it’s a high bar to clear but Hunter did just go 1.02.

 

[Wigglytuff's Gruff]

He went 1.02 because he can play cornerback my man.

The Jags moving up for him was so they could use him both sides of the ball, which I also think is a hindrance to fantasy production.

Then you should be happy that he went to a franchise that property values him.

 

[Buckna]

Cleveland is always scary as a fantasy destination but Jeudy wasn't an obstacle. The JAGs aren't a great spot with BTJ there too IMO. Kirk managed some good numbers when healthy but it was before BTJ emerged so tough to say what the mix will be now. Maybe TLAW can grow and support a 2nd stud WR for fantasy but I doubt it myself. I think your going to see some big time games from Hunter and flashes but some frustrating inconsistency. I could see JAX really playing around with how much time he sees on which side of the ball as a game plan against opposing teams to confuse them and keep them off balance, good for real football, sucky for fantasy. Hoping others in my non-IDP leagues get excited and spend a high pick on Hunter.

Absolutely is. But the last WR to go 1.02 was Calvin. It’s rare. I know he’s also a DB so it’s an 1 in a lifetime prospect but for the Jags to make that kind of move, they must see him as an elite WR prospect.

 

[Faust]

Jakob Sanderson
I can’t believe I have to say this lol

But Hunter’s dynasty stock is infinitely up

Only way this deal works is if he’s an all pro WR or plays full time both ways

Nobody does this deal to take a 2nd overall cornerback

This couldn’t be an easier situation to buy into

https://x.com/jakobsanderson/status/1915563799538704616?s=61

 

[Snotbubbles]

He intrigues me as a player, but I really don't know what he is. I think its going to be extremely difficult being a really great WR and a really great CB if he has to split time working on both positions. I'll be interested to see how Jacksonville uses him.

I don't think he would've gone 1.02 if he was just a wr. Also just b/c last wr to go 1.02 was Calvin is a false association. There are plenty of top wr picks that don't live up to expectations.

He went 1.02 because he was by far the best player in the draft.

 

[ghostguy123]

Guessing he's worth a bunch more in IDP leagues??
Assuming your scoring system allows points from both sides that way

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Let's stop all the faux bickering for a minute and get down to brass tax

Would someone start us off on projected rookie numbers for Hunter as a Wide Receiver?
I have mine but would like to see some of those that are quite bullish on Hunter go ahead and post what they see as a reasonable number his 1st year with Jacksonville.

 

[eighsse2]

brass tax

Pleeease don't tell me there's a new saxophone tariff

 

[sushinsky4tsar]

Projecting him as the Browns 1.2 selection 24 hours ago, I don't see how his WR fantasy value increased. Actual value as an NFL player given the price that was paid, absolutely. I will be thrilled to be wrong based on whatever quotes come out of the Jags press conference and their plans for him.

I'm not saying this guy matters at all to Hunter's fantasy outlook in the long run, but how viable is Gabe Davis (or Parker Washington) in 2026? Is Gabe a complete non-factor away from Josh Allen? Definitely liked the instant demand for Hunter's offensive playmaking in a Jeudy+Tillman room vs BTJ+whatever else. If the rest of the Jags receiving room is a complete nothingburger, then I can start to tell myself a story where Hunter is must-start in year one fantasy lineups.

What about the other CBs on roster? Really skeptical 70%+ on both sides of the ball is going to work in the NFL in 2026, but maybe he kills it. Can live with the added injury risk on the defensive side if the WR workload is fantasy viable.


^^^^^Over/under 850 yards receiving in Year One if I had to throw out a guess today.

Why the Jaguars traded up to get two-way star Travis Hunter

In Travis Hunter, Jaguars literally get two for the price of one

Takeaway from first article, WR first, defensive package likely to expand over time? Music to my ears if that's the case. Yeah, the primary target hog is generally preferred for fantasy, but sometimes having a big-time threat like BTJ on the other side to occupy the defense opens it up to do more with less. If Lawrence can finally put it together, having a viable younger QB in place isn't a bad thing either.

This is a new one for me. I really don't know how much of a threat, "we got a 2-TD lead, we need you to go close things out on D" is. I would say the threat can vary greatly if you're in a league where you can only start 3 WRs vs 4.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

The biggest problems for Hunter are that he's probably a better CB than WR, and the Jags need help more at CB than WR.

Their WRs are good enough that they can afford to use Hunter sparingly on that side of the ball when they need to. Not so much on defense where his role will likely be a much more defined starting CB1.

From PFT today:

I mean, they have an absolute stud at WR already in BTJ, and not having a great player at WR2 is reasonably common.

Perhaps an easier way to illustrate it is if you look at most lists out there of team needs entering draft day, almost all of them had CB as Jacksonville's #1 or #2 biggest need. WR gets mentioned only occasionally, basically never in their top 3 biggest needs, and on most lists not mentioned at all.

“The order of importance is arguable, but the general feeling -- from draft analysts as well as those inside the building -- is that the Jaguars' main needs are at defensive tackle, cornerback, safety, offensive playmaker and edge rusher. With the exception of safety, the Jaguars could target any of those positions with their first pick.”

From ESPN a couple weeks ago:

Defense leads Jaguars' needs heading into NFL draft with No. 5 overall pick

The Jaguars could target defensive tackle, safety or running back in first-round. But they have to meet one key benchmark.

I wanted to see at least one before I took a shot across the bow
60/800/4-5 TDs was what i was going to project for 2025 with an open end that I can adjust these based on camp reports and such

I don't think Hunter will come close to what BTJ was able to produce as a rookie last year, don't really feel like that's a hot take as most don't find that kind of success ever in their careers

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Where does Liam Coen rank in 2025 among head coaches in the NFL?
Does anyone remember the **** show when he was interviewed and refused the position then rethought about it and took it suddenly?
I wouldn't rank Liam super high. Yeah he did well as the Bucs OC last year, doesn't mean he was ready to lead the entire 53 just yet
Would you take him seriously if you played on Defense?

The other thing going for Hunter the WR is that the Jags absolutely have to get Lawrence going this season if they're going to have any hopes of ever getting him close to the level that was hoped for. A second stud WR to pair with BTJ isn't a bad way to do that. WR overkill relative to a shaky CB room be damned. They gotta get their $200M QB firing on all cylinders.

Yes he’s going to start at WR and if it works, that genie isn’t getting put back in the bottle. The team isn’t going to say hey Lawrence we got you your Chase-Higgins and you’re having a career year so now we’re going to start reducing your Higgins snaps on offense so he can cover Nico Collins and Calvin Ridley.

I love it but I would think he doesn’t play all that much defense unless offense doesn’t work out. I just don’t see how someone can be an NFL WR and then just jump in here and there on defense. There’s too many responsibilities on defense and it’s reactive.

Right. The other way can work but defense requires being in every meeting, being on the same page.
Or, I’d expect a lot of penalties or blown coverage. Regardless of his talent.

Yes which is why I think he’s a huge dynasty value at the moment. People are factoring in him playing defense and missing that he’s playing wide receiver. A receiver taken at 1.02 shouldn’t be sliding to pick 4.5,6, etc.

 

[phandango]

Guessing he's worth a bunch more in IDP leagues??
Assuming your scoring system allows points from both sides that way

It's funny because I'm commissioner of two IDP leagues, and we had to change our scoring setup because of Travis Hunter. We were able to account for the occasional defensive lineman who lines up at the goal line and catches a TD, or a WR who gets credited with a tackle after a turnover. But the scoring was set up in a way where we addressed offensive players and defensive players separately, and Hunter forced us to consolidate everything so that every player, regardless of position, gets the same points for the same acts (which is how it should have been done in the first place, but I wasn't the one who set it up).

Anyway, I have no idea how he'll be valued in IDP rookie drafts, but I'm sure someone will take him early. (Our drafts are in a couple weeks.)

I was wondering about that earlier. Assuming you're in an IDP league that gives points for anything to any position: then you have to start considering how many total snaps the guy might get. No matter what his split is, I can't imagine he's going to get significantly more snaps than the highest CB's and WR's, right? If he's successful, he could be #1 in that stat, that wouldn't surprise me a lot, but I don't think he's going to have 30% more snaps than #2.

Regardless, though, one big advantage would be that you can (maybe?) plug him in your CB spot in your lineup. Which I assume normally is lower-scoring than WR.

Guessing he's worth a bunch more in IDP leagues??
Assuming your scoring system allows points from both sides that way

It's funny because I'm commissioner of two IDP leagues, and we had to change our scoring setup because of Travis Hunter. We were able to account for the occasional defensive lineman who lines up at the goal line and catches a TD, or a WR who gets credited with a tackle after a turnover. But the scoring was set up in a way where we addressed offensive players and defensive players separately, and Hunter forced us to consolidate everything so that every player, regardless of position, gets the same points for the same acts (which is how it should have been done in the first place, but I wasn't the one who set it up).

Anyway, I have no idea how he'll be valued in IDP rookie drafts, but I'm sure someone will take him early. (Our drafts are in a couple weeks.)

I was wondering about that earlier. Assuming you're in an IDP league that gives points for anything to any position: then you have to start considering how many total snaps the guy might get.

His position will have to be identified by the website you use I'd think.

Who at yahoo do I call to add deflections, interceptions, tackles, int yds, int tds, and sacks to the Receiving stats?

Didn’t they make Ohtani the SP a separate player than Ohtani the OF in FBL to prevent him from breaking fantasy? I realize lockdown CBs are nothing like SP but it’s a consideration. What say you @Joe Bryant?

The Jags beat the Titans in week 16 of last season. They also beat them in week 13. If they lose either of those games they could have had Travis Hunter for nothing. Instead they gave up a lot to CLE. I'm not big on throwing games because it's a bad message to the players, but the NBA has shown it's often smart. might have been in this case
