Liam Coen also talked about Travis Hunter (not going to clip that - a few words could be off) specifically in the WR room: “we have to be smart and protect him a lot of times from himself cuz he's going to want to just do everything. And so, we have to be diligent and intentional about his workload”

Something that seems to always not be included in the Travis Hunter discussion is the triple-injury contingent value he has. Sure he’s not going to open the season projecting for a near full time route share. But we’re getting plenty of confirmation that he’s still going to play a good bit of offense (allowing for spikes), and if any of the Jags perceived top 3 he’s likely immediately in line for a much larger share of the routes. We start drafting clear RB2s even earlier then Hunter’s ADP pr...

Coach Coen says Hunter will play both ways; community consensus is he'll be full-time CB with occasional gadget offensive plays. Jacksonville's WR room now includes BTJ, Parker Washington, and Jakobi Meyers, pushing Hunter down the pecking order. Multiple comments note he's a WR4 at best on the team; fantasy relevance requires injury to a top-3 receiver. 2025 non-contact soft-tissue injury in practice cited as evidence that dual-role workload is unsustainable; comments split on whether it was predictable wear-and-tear or freak accident. Late-round dart throw consensus; some argue his ceiling is high if opportunity opens, but most expect minimal offensive touches and mediocre fantasy outpu...

Dual-role player (WR/CB) drafted #2 overall; most talented receiver on roster per some comments but defensive needs may limit offensive snaps. Jags said he'll play both sides; coach clarified not full-time WR. Comments debate whether part-time role limits value or creates option value; some see him as potential monster in bestball; others note he's WR4 at best in redraft. Biletnikoff Award winner; can play slot/inline/out wide. Potential breakout if DB room struggles or injuries occur, but currently viewed as boom/bust flex play with limited weekly consistency.

Once camp opens and he takes a ton of reps at wide receiver, his ADP should rise significantly from round 17, making him a closing-line-value play with huge spike potential on the Jaguars' great offense.
