Who Should I Start? Garrett Wilson or Travis Hunter

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson is expected to see a larger workload next season. Head coach Aaron Glenn recently said during a press conference that they want to get Wilson the ball as much as possible. He didn't really add on much to that statement, but it shouldn't be surprising that the Jets want to get their best wideout the ball as often as possible. Despite some lackluster play at quarterback last season, Wilson finished with 101 receptions, 1,104 receiving yards, and seven touchdowns in 17 games. The Jets are hopeful that Justin Fields can give them a better performance under center this upcoming season. Wilson might creep his way into the WR1 discussion, but for now is a safe WR2 in fantasy formats.

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie first-round wide receiver/defensive back Travis Hunter was out on the field with the defense last week, per head coach Liam Coen, and he's been learning a bunch both on offense and defense during offseason workouts. The Jaguars aren't putting Hunter on both offense and defense on the same day, although he does still meet with the defense on days that he practices with the offense. Per The Coachspeak Index, it sounds like Hunter's defensive snaps early in his rookie year will be more of the third-down/high-leverage variety. The 22-year-old second overall pick in this year's NFL draft is an elite athlete, but it's hard to gauge his fantasy value in Year 1 as he looks to play both sides of the ball. The good news is that the Jaguars appear to be planning on making him more of a focal point on offense early in his NFL career than on defense.
