According to The Athletic's Michael Silver, Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter (knee) is not thought to have suffered long-term damage to his knee after picking up an injury at practice on Thursday. Hunter was the victim of a non-contact injury late in the week. Although reports state his ACL remains intact, the Jags wasted no time sending him to IR. It's hapless timing for the rookie, who was coming off his best performance as a pro. Fortunately, the team doesn't seem too concerned about his ailment, though Silver noted that they have no intention of rushing him back. Either way, Hunter will miss at least the next four contests. While he's sidelined, fantasy managers can expect teammates Parker Washington and Dyami Brown to pick up most of the slack behind the corps' leader, Brian Thomas Jr.

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter's (knee) ACL is reportedly intact based on initial testing, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Hunter was surprisingly placed on injured reserve on Friday and will miss at least four games after suffering a non-contact injury to his knee during Thursday's practice. The news comes at an unfortunate time as the rookie was coming off his best game of the season before Jacksonville's Week 8 bye, catching eight of 14 targets for 101 yards and a touchdown. The 22-year-old was emerging as the top target in the offense, as second-year wideout Brian Thomas Jr. has struggled and has been dealing with injuries to his wrist and shoulder. Hunter could wind up missing the remainder of the season, but the good news is that there is no structural damage to his ACL.

According to Hays Carlyon, Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Liam Coen is making it sound like rookie first-rounder Travis Hunter (knee) "might not be able to return this season." Coen said Hunter's knee injury suffered in Thursday's practice was of the non-contact variety, which typically is not a good sign. The Jaguars are still evaluating the two-way star to determine the extent of the damage to his knee. But at the very least, he will not be able to return until Week 13 against the division-rival Tennessee Titans after the team placed him on Injured Reserve on Friday. A season-ending injury would obviously be a huge blow for the Jaguars on both sides of the ball. The Heisman Trophy winner was just starting to become more of a threat on offense and had his first career 100-yard game and first touchdown in Week 7 in London. In redraft leagues, fantasy managers need to hang onto Hunter until we know more about the severity of his knee injury.

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Liam Coen said that the team is placing rookie wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter (knee) on Injured Reserve after Hunter injured his knee during the team's practice on Thursday, per John Shipley of Sports Illustrated. The exact details of Hunter's injury are unclear, but the 22-year-old will now be sidelined through at least Week 12. It's a disappointing turn of events for Hunter, who recorded a season-high eight catches for 101 yards and a touchdown on 14 targets in Jacksonville's final game before its Week 8 bye. The rookie looked like a potential second-half breakout candidate for fantasy managers before suffering this injury. Without Hunter, Jaguars wideouts Dyami Brown and Parker Washington appear to be the most likely candidates to see an uptick in targets and playing time alongside Jacksonville WR1 Brian Thomas Jr. (shoulder). Thomas Jr. has been limited in practice this week due to a shoulder injury, so the Jaguars could be without both of their top wide receivers in Week 9 against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie two-way star Travis Hunter (knee) was added to the Week 9 injury report on Thursday and was limited in practice with a knee issue after he put in a full practice on Wednesday, according to J.P. Shadrick. It's not clear if Hunter was injured in Thursday's practice or if the Jaguars were giving him a little rest coming out of their bye week, but either way, fantasy managers will be watching closely when Jacksonville releases its final injury report on Friday. As of now, the Heisman Trophy winner should be considered questionable to play this Sunday for a Week 9 meeting with the Las Vegas Raiders on the road. Head coach Liam Coen has hinted that Hunter will become a bigger part of the passing attack in the second half of the season, potentially elevating him to the WR1 role over Brian Thomas Jr. However, this knee injury could halt those plans, at least temporarily.

Jacksonville Jaguars two-way star Travis Hunter usage on both sides of the ball in his first NFL season has been fluid through the first eight weeks of the season. However, he played a season-high 87% of the offensive snaps in London in the Week 7 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, and head coach Liam Coen has hinted that the 22-year-old Heisman Trophy winner's role on offense could continue to grow in the second half of the year. ESPN's Michael DiRocco says not to be surprised if Hunter "starts getting the WR1 treatment." In the blowout loss to L.A. before the team's Week 8 bye, Hunter had his breakout game, catching eight of 14 targets for 101 yards and his first touchdown of the year. It will be interesting to see how Hunter is used on both sides of the ball down the stretch, but if he does end up becoming more of a full-time offensive piece, he'll have clear WR2 upside to close out his rookie campaign.
Oct 30, 2025 12:11 PM EST
ESPN's Michael DiRocco suggests that the Jacksonville Jaguars need to get first-rounder Travis Hunter more involved on offense over their final 10 games if they are going to be in the playoff hunt, and head coach Liam Coen hinted at a lineup shift coming out of their bye week. "We are going to play the best 11 [on each side of the ball] as much as humanly possible," Coen said. It sounds as though Hunter is going to be a "significant player in the offense going forward." In the Week 7 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in London before the bye, Hunter led the team in targets (14), catches (eight), and receiving yards (101) while playing a season-high 64 snaps. The former Heisman Trophy winner now leads the Jags in catches (28) and is second in receiving yards (298). DiRocco doesn't think we should be surprised if Hunter "starts getting the WR1 treatment" in the second half of the season. How it will impact Hunter's role on defense is unclear, but this would be excellent news for Hunter's fantasy managers going forward.
Oct 27, 2025 6:08 PM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars beat writer Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union speculates that the team's view of how to use rookie wide receiver Travis Hunter is "ever-evolving" heading into their Week 8 bye. Hunter had by far the most productive game of his career as a wide receiver in Week 7, recording eight catches for 101 yards and a touchdown on 14 targets against the Los Angeles Rams. Through seven games this season, Hunter has hauled in 28 receptions for 298 yards and a score on 45 targets. Jacksonville continues to split Hunter's workload between offense and defense, which limits his fantasy upside. However, Hunter has now played at least 78% of the team's offensive snaps in each of the past two weeks after failing to eclipse 67% in any of the first five weeks. Coming out of the bye, the Jaguars may place an even greater emphasis on getting Hunter involved in the offense.
Oct 21, 2025 11:48 AM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Travis Hunter broke out in Sunday's 35-7 defeat to the Los Angeles Rams, nabbing 8-of-14 targets for 101 yards and a touchdown. The second-overall pick of April's draft finally had his coming-out party in London, setting new career-highs across the board. Hunter was superb, separating at all three levels of the field despite his team getting blown out. With Jacksonville on bye in Week 9, it may give teammate Brian Thomas Jr. (shoulder) the time he needs to heal his ailing shoulder. The exact nature (and severity) of the injury is currently unknown, so if more time is required, Hunter should again operate as the team's No. 1 wideout. Either way, fantasy managers have to be encouraged by the rookie's scoring outburst over the weekend. We're sure to get an update on Thomas Jr. soon.
Oct 20, 2025 11:16 AM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver/defensive back Travis Hunter found the end zone for the first time as a pro, connecting with quarterback Trevor Lawrence for a 34-yard touchdown on Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams in London. In total, the rookie finished with his best offensive day in the NFL, compiling eight catches for 101 yards and a score on 14 targets. He also had one carry for no gain. Unfortunately for the Jags, they attempted 48 passes because they were getting blown out in what became a 35-7 defeat. It was nonetheless an encouraging day for fantasy managers, as Hunter led the offense in touches and earned the type of usage for which they were hoping. The Jags will look to get their act together against Las Vegas after a bye in Week 9.
Oct 19, 2025 1:37 PM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Travis Hunter could have a breakout game against the Los Angeles Rams during their visit to London. After a quiet start to the season, Liam Coen stated to the press the gameplan would be to get Hunter more involved on offense this week. That is music to the ears of fantasy managers who drafted the talented rookie high. In limited action, the two-way phenom has showed flashes of talent while getting acclimated to both sides of the ball in the NFL. On the other hand, this could just be coach speak, so fantasy managers shouldn't get too hasty. Bold managers in need of an upside play should feel good about starting Hunter in Week 7.
Oct 18, 2025 4:37 AM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Liam Coen stated the team plans to expand rookie wide receiver Travis Hunter's role moving forward, utilizing his elite speed and athleticism more frequently within the offense. The second overall pick has caught 20 of 31 targets for 197 yards but has yet to find the end zone in his debut season. Despite early frustrations for fantasy managers, Coen's comments suggest an uptick in volume could be coming soon. Hunter's versatility as both a wide receiver and cornerback makes him one of the league's most dynamic young players, and additional touches could quickly boost his fantasy value. Managers in deeper leagues may want to hold tight, as Hunter's breakout could be on the horizon.
Oct 15, 2025 2:34 PM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars rookie wide receiver Travis Hunter could start to see more downfield opportunities after flashing big-play ability in Week 5's 31-28 win over the Kansas City Chiefs. The second-overall pick caught three passes for 64 yards, highlighted by a spectacular 44-yard jump-ball grab that showcased his elite athleticism and contested-catch skills. Plays like that offer a glimpse of what Hunter could become in Liam Coen's offense once his role expands. However, through five weeks, Hunter has yet to make a consistent fantasy impact. He's caught 16 of 24 targets for 182 yards and remains without a touchdown in his young career. His limited usage caps his fantasy upside for now, as he ranks 76th among receivers in snap share (60.3%) and 71st in route participation (69.7%). While his two-way ability continues to draw attention, Hunter's offensive workload remains too limited for reliable fantasy production. He's best viewed as a stash in deeper leagues, with breakout potential later in the season if his offensive role grows.
Oct 8, 2025 10:11 AM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars rookie first-round wide receiver/defensive back Travis Hunter's snaps on both sides of the ball will likely remain fluid on a week-to-week basis moving forward. When asked about how the team decided on Hunter's usage in the Week 4 win over the San Francisco 49ers, head coach Liam Coen said it was "a decision we all made together.. wanted to give some guys some opportunities, given what we felt their game-plan was gonna be, [and then it] ended up becoming more of a passing game." Coen added that Hunter's snap count in Week 5 on Monday night against the Kansas City Chiefs will be determined "as we go." Hunter played 64% of the offensive snaps in the season opener, which has been his highest number through four weeks. He played 56% on Sunday and caught three of five targets for a season-high 42 yards. It's hard to imagine Hunter's snaps on offense drastically increasing anytime soon, making him a boom/bust WR4/flex in fantasy lineups.
Oct 2, 2025 5:59 PM EST
Michael David Smith of NBC Sports reports that Travis Hunter is struggling to make an impact on either side of the ball. Hunter is mainly playing on offense, being on the field for 59 percent of the Jaguars' offensive snaps. But he has just 13 catches for 118 yards with no touchdowns and only three first downs through four games. On defense, Hunter is doing even less, playing just 39 percent of snaps with no interceptions or other powerful impact plays. Ultimately, this is leading to him not making a substantial impact on either side of the ball, limiting his overall upside. It's still early in the season, so we will see how the Jaguars plan to use him moving forward, but at the time being, Hunter's value has never been lower, and fantasy managers have started dropping him in 12-team leagues. At best, he is a bench stash based on name and upside alone. Currently, he should not be considered for starting lineups in any league format.
Oct 1, 2025 9:13 AM EST
When asked about Jacksonville Jaguars rookie two-way star Travis Hunter's usage on both sides of the ball moving forward, head coach Liam Coen said, "As we continue to go, his usage will continue to go." Take that for what you will as the Jags head into a Week 4 matchup against the 3-0 San Francisco 49ers. For fantasy purposes, Hunter's usage has gone in the wrong direction on offense over the first three games of his career. The Heisman Trophy winner played 64% of the offensive snaps in Week 1, followed by 59% in Week 2, and 53% in Week 3. Unsurprisingly, his best game was in the season opener when he caught six of his eight targets for 33 yards. The 22-year-old has been quiet overall with 10 grabs on 16 targets for 76 yards and no touchdowns in three games. Hunter was heavily involved on defense last week, and although that probably won't be the norm each week, it makes him more of a boom/bust WR4/flex heading into Week 4.
Sep 26, 2025 7:25 PM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Liam Coen said that injuries at wide receiver and/or cornerback won't affect rookie two-way star Travis Hunter's usage. Right now, Hunter is playing just one position at receiver and one at cornerback, although he will build more versatility in years to come. When Dyami Brown (shoulder) was injured in the Week 3 win over the Houston Texans, Parker Washington played more instead of Hunter. The Heisman Trophy winner has played out of the slot for 63 percent of his routes through his first three NFL games, and he's caught 10 of his 16 targets for 76 scoreless yards. The 22-year-old had just one catch on two targets for 21 yards last week and was more involved on defense than ever before, which is not what his fantasy managers want to see. It sounds like Hunter's role on offense won't necessarily increase if Brown cannot play in Week 4 against the San Francisco 49ers.
Sep 24, 2025 3:42 PM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars rookie wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter's impact has been limited through the first two games of the season, according to a report from Dianna Russini of The Athletic. Although the second overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft saw increased snaps on both sides of the ball in Week 2, his overall usage is still developing. Hunter missed time during training camp due to an upper-body injury, which may have contributed to his slow start. He has accumulated 55 receiving yards on offense, along with three tackles and one pass defended on defense so far. Considering his demanding two-way role, fantasy managers should regard Hunter as a long-term hold in dynasty leagues and a wait-and-see option in all other formats.
Sep 20, 2025 4:46 PM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars rookie Travis Hunter's two-way role is set to grow in Week 2 as the Jaguars prepare for the Bengals. After logging 44 of 63 offensive snaps and just six on defense in his NFL debut, the staff plans to ease him into packages on the back end while still managing his workload. Hunter already looked comfortable on offense, leading Jacksonville in targets (8) and receptions (6) for 33 yards, and his ability to threaten defenses after the catch should continue to earn designed touches. The added defensive snaps give Jacksonville a flexible chess piece for passing downs and late-game situations. With Cincinnati's defense still unproven, expect Hunter's snap share and impact to climb as the Jaguars find more ways to keep their difference-maker on the field.
Sep 10, 2025 2:11 PM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver/defensive back Travis Hunter is expected to be an every-down wideout and situational corner for Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. Finally, fantasy managers get some clarification on how the Jags plan to handle Hunter's workload. The assumption is that his workload on defense will increase as he continues to learn and develop. The Jags are limited in terms of offensive weapons with Brian Thomas Jr. being their primary weapon last season. The fact that Hunter will be an every-down wideout is intriguing for fantasy managers heading into the season opener. The upside is too high here to keep Hunter on the bench for a plus-matchup in Week 1.
