Who Should I Start? Dyami Brown or Travis Hunter

Thursday, September 25, 12:49 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dyami Brown (shoulder) was present at the portion of practice on Thursday that was open to the media, according to Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union. It's unclear if Brown will be limited or a full-go, but it's a good sign for his Week 4 availability against the San Francisco 49ers after he missed the first practice of the week on Wednesday. With wideouts Brian Thomas Jr. and rookie Travis Hunter off to a slow start through the first three weeks, quarterback Trevor Lawrence has gotten both Brown and Parker Washington involved in the passing attack. The 25-year-old Brown has surprisingly caught 10 of 14 targets for 116 yards and one touchdown in the early going, although it will be tough for fantasy managers to trust him as anything more than a weekly WR4/flex in deeper leagues as long as Thomas, Hunter, and Washington are all healthy.

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.
