Who Should I Start? Deebo Samuel Sr. or Travis Hunter

Friday, November 14, 8:32 PM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. hasn't been as productive in recent weeks after a strong first five games of the season. Samuel recorded 30 receptions for 300 yards and three touchdowns along with seven carries for 46 yards and another touchdown over the first five weeks, ranking as the WR7 in total PPR points (88.6). Since then, Samuel has just 16 catches for 96 yards and one touchdown on 22 targets and three carries for three yards in four games, ranking as the WR56 in that span. The veteran wideout should still be in line for a busy day on Sunday against a vulnerable Miami Dolphins defense, with most of Washington's wide receivers banged up. Samuel ranks as RotoBaller's WR20 for the first-ever NFL game in Madrid, Spain.

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Liam Coen said any discussion about making wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter a one-way player in the future is "premature," according to Michael DiRocco of ESPN. Hunter (knee) is out for the remainder of the 2025 season following surgery to repair an LCL injury, which has only amplified questions about whether he will continue to play both offense and defense. The former Heisman Trophy winner was billed as a once-in-a-generation player, although many doubted he would be able to withstand the same number of two-way snaps that he played as a standout at Colorado. For fantasy managers, especially those in dynasty formats, Hunter becoming only a wide receiver would be the absolute best-case scenario. Offensively, Hunter finished his rookie season with 28 receptions for 298 yards and a touchdown in seven games.
