Justin Jefferson Works With Trainers on Friday

Friday, August 1, 5:07 PM

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson (hamstring) was on a side field during practice on Friday working out with trainers, according to Emily Leiker of the Minneapolis Star Tribune. Head coach Kevin O'Connell said there still isn't a timeline on Jefferson's full re-integration at practices, but that he would ramp back up into some work this week and that updates have been "really positive." The 26-year-old All-Pro wideout hasn't practiced with the rest of the team for a full week now, but the Vikings are likely just being overly cautious with one of the best pass-catchers in football. The Vikes want to rest Jefferson but also know he's going to need reps with quarterback J.J. McCarthy before the start of the regular season. We would expect him to return to the practice field sooner than later. Unless Jefferson's absence drags on longer, he should still be one of the first receivers taken in fantasy drafts.

Travis Hunter Plays Offense and Defense During a Scrimmage

Saturday, August 2, 9:20 AM

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter got work on both sides of the ball on Friday in a scrimmage for the Jags. He logged a total of 38 snaps, playing 17 with the first-team offense and 21 with the first-team defense. It was the first time in training camp that he played on both sides of the ball, and he stood out with three catches for 43 yards on offense. He was also targeted in the red zone, but the pass was knocked away. Defensively, backup quarterback Nick Mullens did not target the receiver with Hunter in coverage with any passes. Jaguars Head Coach Liam Coen said, "I thought it was great. That was what we were hoping to do tonight in terms of just get him on both sides of the ball, quality work." Hunter will look to continue his success on both sides of the ball as training camp continues, and he's in contention for snaps on defense and targets on offense. Hunter has a very high ceiling for fantasy football in his rookie year, although his two-way abilities don't all translate to most scoring systems.
