Travis Hunter vs. New England — Part-Time Offensive Role Keeps Fantasy Value Sidelined

Hunter is operating primarily as a cornerback, logging roughly 60 percent of Jacksonville's defensive snaps compared to just 10 percent on offense over recent action. With Brian Thomas Jr. and Jakobi Meyers dominating perimeter targets and Parker Washington manning primary slot duties, Hunter remains confined to occasional gadget packages.

That restricted offensive footprint caps his fantasy upside, with our weekly projection expecting just one reception for 12 yards against New England. Fantasy managers have reacted accordingly as his start rate sits under 4%, making him a clear bench option until his snap count on offense noticeably expands.
