Jaguars HC Liam Coen said rookie WR/CB Travis will "primarily play on offense, while learning the defensive system and practicing on the defensive side as well during this offseason program." Hunter is capable of being an impact player on both sides of the ball — and it sounds like Jacksonville has already been thinking through a plan to play Hunter on both sides. "We have to be fluid throughout this process," Coen added. "We’ve had multiple at-length conversations with athletic training, sport science, equipment, coaching, everybody involved in this process."
Hunter's exact role will be a huge fantasy storyline this summer. And, as Coen said, it figures to be a fluid situation that could change throughout his rookie season and even his career.
It makes him a tricky fantasy evaluation. The upside is enormous, especially after landing with a strong offensive mind in Coen and a talented (although sometimes underachieving) QB in Trevor Lawrence. But it'll be tough for Hunter to hit his ceiling if he's not a full-time player on offense. He'll also be competing for targets with emerging superstar WR Brian Thomas.
Hunter checks in as WR44 in our updated 2025 fantasy football rankings. That feels conservative — but properly weighs his lofty ceiling vs. a scary-low floor. We'll continue to keep a close eye on Jacksonville's plans for the first-round rookie.
