Travis Hunter Dynasty Rookie Profile – Fantasy Football 2025

Travis Hunter Dynasty Rookie Profile

WR/CB – Jacksonville Jaguars | Drafted: Round 1, Pick 2 | College: Colorado

Travis Hunter enters the NFL as a generational two-way prospect with game-breaking ability on both sides of the ball. The Jaguars traded up to secure his services, and while his fantasy ceiling is massive, his unique role as both WR and CB introduces risk. In the right offensive setup, Hunter has WR1 upside in dynasty leagues.

College Career Recap

Travis Hunter became the most talked-about player in college football after flipping from Florida State to play for Deion Sanders at Jackson State, then Colorado. A five-star recruit and No. 1 overall player in the 2022 class, Hunter played both ways for three seasons, starring as a dynamic wide receiver and lockdown cornerback.



In 2024, he put it all together—winning the Heisman Trophy and multiple national awards while leading Colorado in receiving yards (1,258), receptions (96), and touchdowns (15), and also notching 4 interceptions and 11 pass breakups on defense. His elite production in both roles has no modern precedent, cementing him as one of the most unique NFL Draft prospects ever.


NFL Scouting Report

Hunter measured 6'1", 185 lbs, and reportedly ran a sub-4.4 40-yard dash. As a receiver, he’s sudden, smooth, and explosive with elite ball tracking and dynamic run-after-catch ability. His ability to separate and win on vertical routes is top-tier, but he must refine his route tree and physicality at the catch point.



On defense, Hunter showcases elite instincts, fluidity, and range in both man and zone. His ball skills translate from WR to CB with remarkable efficiency, but his lean frame could limit his press-man success at the next level. NFL teams see him as a potential star at either position.


Scheme Fit & Projected Role with Jaguars

Jacksonville plans to deploy Hunter on both offense and defense, with a focus on using him as a Z receiver behind Brian Thomas Jr. Expect Hunter to rotate in high-leverage situations on both sides of the ball while gradually building his offensive snap share.


Liam Coen’s offense often features heavy 11 personnel and vertical route concepts—an ideal match for Hunter’s strengths. The challenge will be maximizing his offensive usage without compromising his defensive impact. If Hunter settles into a 70–80% snap share on offense, he can deliver weekly WR2 production.


Rookie Outlook (2025)
  • Floor: Boom-bust FLEX with volatile usage

  • Ceiling: WR1 upside if he plays 85% + snaps on offense

  • Early Projection: 70–80 targets, 900+ total yards, 6–8 TDs

  • Expected PPG (0.5 PPR): 9.0–15.0


Long-Term Dynasty Value

Hunter’s value in dynasty is unique—he's an elite talent with WR1 ceiling, but uncertainty about his snap share adds volatility. If the Jaguars transition him into a full-time wideout, he could emerge as the next great fantasy star. However, if his role remains split, he’ll be more matchup-dependent.


Hunter remains an early first-round dynasty pick in 1QB and Superflex formats, and in leagues that reward IDP stats, his CB production adds rare dual-threat upside. He’s the ultimate ceiling play with the potential to change the fantasy landscape, just like he did in college football.
