Who Should I Start? Jakobi Meyers or Travis Hunter

Wednesday, October 15, 1:30 PM

NFL teams that ESPN's Jeremy Fowler has spoken to think the Las Vegas Raiders are "open to trading" wide receiver Jakobi Meyers, but they "are not actively trying to move him." The sense is that the Raiders "would prefer to play out the season" before making any major determinations about its roster. Meyers requested a trade in the preseason and is having a disappointing season in what has been a bad Raiders offense through six weeks. The 28-year-old pass-catcher hasn't shown much chemistry with quarterback Geno Smith in 2025. He caught four passes for 39 yards in the Week 6 win over the Tennessee Titans and has not gone over 40 yards in any of the last three games. What has made things even more disappointing is the fact that the Raiders have been without star tight end Brock Bowers (knee) the last two games, and Meyers still hasn't done much. A Meyers trade would elevate Tre Tucker to WR1 status in the desert.

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.
