Travis Hunter News
Tuesday, September 1, 6:59 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars 2025 second overall pick, Travis Hunter, enters the 2026 season with reports from camp suggesting that head coach Liam Coen plans to utilize Hunter on both sides of the ball, and Hunter has reportedly taken reps almost exclusively at cornerback for the last few weeks. While Hunter holds value as a professional football player, his ability to play both sides of the ball impacts his ability to be impactful in fantasy football when he is splitting his time. The Jaguars also have a crowded receiver room that includes Parker Washington, Brian Thomas Jr., Jakobi Meyers, and Brenton Strange. While it's possible that Hunter may have spike weeks where he goes off for a big play, it's too unpredictable and unreliable when it comes to the fantasy football lens. RotoBaller currently ranks Hunter as the WR81 and the 210th overall player off the board, making him undraftable in most 12-team formats.

Ja'Kobi Lane News
Friday, September 4, 8:47 AM
Baltimore Ravens rookie wide receiver Ja'Kobi Lane has drawn praise and created a lot of hype for himself throughout training camp and the preseason. In fact, Matt Verderame of Sports Illustrated recently included the rookie wideout in his "10 Breakout Players to Watch in 2026" article after speaking with coaches and executives across the league. The 6-foot-4, 205-pound Lane is expected to operate as Baltimore's No. 3 wide receiver behind Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman this season. However, there is a chance that Lane could play an even bigger role, as Bateman is under investigation by the NFL and could potentially face a suspension. It would not be surprising if Lane outperforms Bateman this year. The Ravens selected Lane out of USC in the third round (No. 80 overall) of the 2026 NFL Draft. He is expected to play an immediate role. Lane is currently rostered in just 19% of Yahoo leagues and is worth considering on the waiver wire or in the later rounds of your drafts. Lane currently has a Yahoo ADP of 126.8. He ranks as the No. 181 overall player and No. 70 wide receiver at RotoBaller.
