Travis Hunter, WR, Jacksonville Jaguars

The Jacksonville Jaguars suffered their second loss of the season against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, but there are clear signs of improvement on offense. Second-year receiver Brian Thomas Jr. is improving every week, as he builds chemistry with Trevor Lawrence.

Thomas’ best performances as a rookie came when catching passes from Mac Jones, and things haven’t been easy for him to start the year. Travis Hunter is also moving in the right direction; his seven targets and four catches were both his highest since Week 1.

Still, progress has been frustratingly slow for the rookie, and he’s been a bench candidate for several weeks. His 5.5 fantasy points won’t have done anything to change that, and current owners will almost certainly be open to offers.

First-round rookie receivers are among the best bets to make in fantasy. Hunter is a special talent, on an ascending offense, with an elite offensive mind calling plays. There would be far less concern if he weren’t a part-time cornerback; ignore the stigma and buy low on him like you would any other first-round rookie in his position.

Jerry Jeudy, WR, Cleveland Browns

Jerry Jeudy has been a casualty of the quarterback circus in Cleveland this season, as the Browns struggle to get their receivers involved enough to make a difference. The team’s offense has flashed potential, with rookies Harold Fannin Jr. and Quinshon Judkins standing out, but Jeudy hasn’t had double-digit fantasy points since Week 1.

However, the team faces the Miami Dolphins in Week 7, a perfect game to turn things around. The Dolphins are arguably the worst overall defense in the NFL, and have conceded an average of 29 points per game this season.

In Jeudy’s first game with Gabriel, he finished with just 15 receiving yards against the Minnesota Vikings. Minnesota has allowed the fewest fantasy points per game to receivers, but Gabriel fared reasonably well for his first NFL start. Following Sunday’s games, Jeudy is a flex-worthy WR32 in Week 6, with 9.3 fantasy points.

That’s not a huge number, but it shows clear progress, and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him put up WR2 numbers against the Dolphins in Week 7. The former Bronco is the clear WR1 in Cleveland, has some great matchups on the horizon, and should be available for almost nothing in a trade.

Jaylin Noel, WR, Houston Texans

The Houston Texans have been on bye this week, preventing them from building on their outstanding 44-10 win over the Baltimore Ravens in Week 5. It does, though, allow them to work on some things, and getting their highly-drafted rookie receivers more involved will likely be one of them.

Houston selected Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel in Rounds 2 and 3 of April’s NFL Draft, respectively, and both have already seen increased opportunities recently. In recent years, many rookie receivers have taken off after their team’s bye week, and both Higgins and Noel are ones to keep an eye on in the coming weeks.

Noel has flashed his explosiveness on kick returns and has been rewarded with more opportunities on offense. The Texans could use a spark on offense, and Noel’s speed and ability after the catch put him just one play away from fantasy relevance.

With Nico Collins cemented as the team’s alpha receiver, only Christian Kirk stands between them and a starring role on the Houston offense. I personally rate Noel higher than Higgins, but both rookies are worth taking a shot on in fantasy if you have room on your bench or a roster-clogger to drop.
