Travis Hunter News
Friday, August 21, 6:14 AM
Billed as football's answer to Shohei Ohtani when he was selected second overall in the 2025 NFL Draft, Jacksonville Jaguars two-way player Travis Hunter spent the majority of his rookie campaign on the offensive side of the ball before an LCL injury ended his season right when he looked to be on the verge of a breakout. Heading into his second season, the Jaguars' depth chart has dictated that he will spend most of his time on defense, and the team is preparing him to be the number one cornerback. In defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile's zone-based system, Hunter is unlikely to follow the opponents' top receiver across the formation, but after gaining 10-12 pounds of muscle over the offseason, he will be trusted to shut down one side of the field. Hunter projects to see time on offense still, but with a receiver room of Parker Washington, Brian Thomas Jr., and Jakobi Meyers manning the top reps, he will be hard-pressed to find any consistent fantasy value outside of IDP leagues with positional delineations and a cornerback requirement.

KC Concepcion News

The Cleveland Browns spent a 2026 first-round pick on wide receiver KC Concepcion, and since Day 1, head coach Todd Monken and the offensive staff have not held back in loading up his plate. "He's handled us moving him around at an elite level," Monken told team reporter Kelsey Russo. "It's not easy to - all right, you're at Z, OK, you're at F, you're at X. We're going to ask you to do all of these things within our offense, and he's been impressive." Concepcion won the Paul Hornung Award in 2025 as the most versatile player in college football, and that versatility was on full display in his first preseason game, in which he caught three passes and scored on a 14-yard touchdown run while also returning punts. Concepcion projects to feature heavily in three-receiver sets along with veteran Jerry Jeudy and fellow rookie Denzel Boston, and the ability to play all three spots should help to keep him on the field regardless of alignment. At RotoBaller's WR46, the 21-year-old is a high-floor target in the middle rounds of drafts who could also offer week-winning spike performances.
