Outlook Travis Hunter

Travis Hunter vs. Texans in London — Defensive Focus Caps Offensive Fantasy Value

Hunter's rare two-way deployment has tilted heavily toward defense. Operating as Jacksonville's starting perimeter cornerback and listed as a backup slot receiver, his offensive snaps have dried up as the coaching staff prioritizes his lockdown coverage. With fellow cornerback Montaric Brown ruled out, the Jaguars need Hunter on defense in London against Houston.

For standard fantasy managers, Hunter cannot be trusted in starting lineups. Our weekly projection forecasts just 4.8 points—driven purely by defensive tackles rather than any offensive involvement, projecting zero receptions and zero rush attempts. His roster rate has tumbled to 17%, making him an easy sit until he sees consistent snaps at wide receiver.
