Travis Hunter Runs Routes in Knee-Rehab Footage

Monday, July 27, 12:12 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter was shown sprinting and running routes in rehabilitation footage released by the team as he works back from surgery to repair an isolated LCL injury in his right knee. Hunter injured the knee during an Oct. 30 practice and underwent surgery on Nov. 11, ending his rookie season after seven games. Head coach Liam Coen said during June minicamp that Hunter reached 22.6 mph in a rehabilitation sprint, though that speed was recorded on June 9 rather than during training camp. Hunter caught 28 passes for 298 yards and one touchdown while adding 15 tackles and three passes defensed as a rookie. Jacksonville plans to continue using him on both sides of the ball, with general manager James Gladstone saying his cornerback workload should increase. The footage and verified speed mark are positive signs, but workout results do not establish Hunter's training-camp workload or how much offensive work he will retain in 2026. His practice participation and role distribution remain the key fantasy developments to monitor.

Caleb Douglas Could Earn a Starting Role in Miami

Sunday, July 26, 7:00 AM

The Miami Dolphins spent five 2026 draft picks on offensive skill position players, and despite being the first of that group selected, third-round rookie wide receiver Caleb Douglas has flown well beneath the fantasy radar to this point, even in what projects to be a wide-open receiver room. With Dolphins rookies having already reported for training camp, national NFL reporter Cameron Wolfe believes Douglas could earn a starting role and become a necessary target for quarterback Malik Willis in an offense in search of playmakers outside of running back De'Von Achane. A more heralded third-round pick, fellow rookie Chris Bell is beginning the year on the non-football injury list as he continues to recover from a torn ACL suffered in November, while none of the veteran receivers on the roster has a 50-catch NFL campaign under their belt. With one of the lowest projected scoring offenses in the league, it's entirely possible that none of Miami's receivers rise to fantasy prominence in 2026, but at RotoBaller's WR107, Douglas has an obvious path to outperforming expectations as a rookie.
