Travis Hunter’s 2025 Fantasy Stock Skyrockets with Jaw-Dropping Jaguars’ All-In Gamble

Some prospects “check boxes.” Others redefine the damn checklist. He isn’t just multi-talented; he’s multi-elite. At Colorado, he didn’t just dip his toes in both offense and defense; he cannonballed into both ends of the pool and came away with the Bednarik, Biletnikoff, and oh yeah, the Heisman. Imagine Deion Sanders with Justin Jefferson’s hands. That’s Travis Hunter.

Meanwhile, so far in Jaguars Camp, Hunter has taken 83 snaps, 36 of them on Offense, meanwhile, 47 are on defense, meaning it’s more likely he’ll be an IDP play in fantasy, with sporadic WR numbers. But that could change once we get to September, as the Jaguars might be saving the offensive workload for the regular season, as teams still like to hide things from us, especially in the early stages of Camp.

Trevor Lawrence + Hunter = Box Office Hits

If you’re Trevor Lawrence, this is like handing a Ferrari to Dom Toretto and telling him to “drive safe.” The Jaguars need to craft plays faster than Marvel churns out new superheroes because Hunter is a separation artist. Flat-out burners? Check. Elite footwork to shake corners out of their cleats? Double-check. Think he’ll disappear when blanketed by tight coverage? Good luck with that. He thrives in contested situations like a YouTuber thrives on chaos.

Hunter not only has the metrics; he’s a scheme-dream fit. Jaguars head coach Liam Coen loves creating space in his motion-heavy, timing-based philosophy. Put Hunter in the slot? Dangerous. On the outside? Filthy. Hell, line him up behind the center; chaos will reign.

Defensive Snaps? You Should Lose Some Sleep Over It.

The whole “two-way player” buzz is nice for media days and merchandise sales, but fantasy owners need to panic a little about Hunter’s current workload, as he has seen more work on defense, as previously mentioned. Yes, he has the potential to be a great WR2 value, with the potential of the big play, but the early looks are looking like he’s probably a corner first, then wide receiver right now on July 29th, as I’m typing this. Also, as previously stated, teams like to hide things in July for what they are going to do in the season, so we will likely see more receiver work from Hunter, potentially in August.

Bottom Line?

Hunter is more than a hype train; he’s the bullet train that fantasy managers dream of boarding. The Jaguars didn’t trade up to keep this unicorn in shackles. They’re going to milk every ounce of his talent on both sides of the ball. Fantasy championships are won by betting big, and betting on Hunter is as big as it gets, so if he’s at the right spot for you, DRAFT HIM in Redraft, but definitely consider him in IDP and DFS highly this upcoming season.
