Should You Start or Sit Travis Hunter in Week 6?
Don’t get me wrong, I love having a player like Travis Hunter in the league, but he is a different sort of threat when you have him on your roster.
He’s now made a 20+ yard catch in three straight games, the latest highlight being a 44-yard, track the ball and navigate contact situation against the Chiefs on Monday night where he looked like a natural.
Because he is. The elite ball skills are what allow him to flirt with duality unlike any player we’ve seen in the history of this game.

The big play was nice, but it was one of 10 targets he’s seen over the past three weeks, and we also saw him limp off to the sideline during the Week 5 win.
He returned and is fine, but there is no denying the risk, health-wise, that comes from Hunter playing both sides of the ball.
I remain convinced that there is a top 20 receiver in this profile, but as expected, it’s going to take time for the Jags to figure out how to maximize his potential. We aren’t there yet, and that’s why he’s more roster depth at this point for fantasy managers than a true weekly option (he’s my WR44 at the moment for Week 6).
