Green Bay Packers star Matthew Golden at No. 44 is the next rookie receiver in the fantasy football rankings.

Not only is Hunter competing for snaps on both offense and defense, the rookie will also share targets with Jacksonville receiver Brian Thomas Jr., considered one of the best in the league. However, Hunter is familiar to playing with a deep receiver room.

With Hunter leading the way, the Colorado Buffaloes had the most wide receivers selected in the 2025 NFL with the Carolina Panthers drafting Jimmy Horn Jr. and the Baltimore Ravens taking LaJohntay Wester.

Will Hunter find the same success next to Thomas in Jacksonville? the Jaguars coaches have been starting Hunter on offense because they reportedly believe that defensive back is the position that comes more naturally to Hunter. Still, fantasy football owners will have a close eye on how the former Buffalo splits his time in the NFL.

In another set of rankings from NFL Network's Adam Rank, Hunter was not the highest-ranked rookie wide receiver. Rank has Hunter as the No. 37 receiver in his wide receiver fantasy football rankings, a bit behind McMillan at No. 27.
