Should You Start or Sit Travis Hunter in Week 5?
Travis Hunter high-pointed a deep target in San Francisco last weekend, and those are the types of plays that remind us of the intoxicating ball skills that this kid has. The 28-yard gain was his second of 20+ yards in as many weeks and the longest in the first month of his career.
We’ve seen glimpses of route versatility that suggest he’s going to be a long-term asset in this league, but this passing game isn’t one that is going to develop a project like this on the fly in 2025.
Hunter has 13 targets in three games since being looked at eight times in his NFL debut, and the playing time is all over the place.
Weekly Participation Report
- Week 1: 27 routes, 6 defensive snaps
- Week 2: 27 routes, 39 defensive snaps
- Week 3: 27 routes, 41 defensive snaps
- Week 4: 23 routes, 9 defensive snaps
It pains me to say, but Hunter is completely off of my flex radar now and for the foreseeable future.
Fellow rookie Elic Ayomanor has been the more involved offensive piece lately, and I’d play the interesting Titan ahead of him if we are ordering the first-year receivers for Week 5, a sentence I had no idea I’d be typing at this point in the season.
