Huddle Up: This development takes a lot of fantasy viability out of Hunter for the start of 2026. What was once believed to be a flex or WR3 option, Hunter is now not worth plugging into starting lineups to start the season.

Huddle Up: The Jaguars have said Hunter will still be a two-way player, but it is looking like he may see a majority of his playing time on defense. Fantasy players can consider him as a late round pick, but he may not be a starting option in most leagues.

Huddle Up: Hunter will be most valuable in IDP leagues where you can utilize both of his skillsets, but he's a late-round flyer in traditional formats. In IDP leagues, view him as a mid-to-low DB1.

Huddle Up: Although Hunter is expected to see more time at cornerback this year, he will still have a role on offense. While Hunter could struggle to produce consistent results from one game to the next, his big-play ability could make him worth a look as a WR4.

Huddle Up: Hunter is still expected to play on both sides of the ball, but it seems like he will probably see a majority of his playing time at cornerback. He should still see a few targets in the passing game and can be a No. 4 receiver in fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: In seven games as a rookie prior to undergoing season-ending knee surgery, Hunter had 28 catches for 298 yards and a touchdown on offense. Assuming that he sees a similar workload in 2026, he can be viewed as a WR3 option in most fantasy leagues with plenty of upside.

Huddle Up: Here's what this means for his fantasy value in 2026: He's probably not worth grabbing in standard leagues. However, his value in IDP leagues will be substantial. If you're going to select him as a full-time DB and receive points for receptions and yardage, this puts him on par with some of the top DBs in fantasy. We'd still probably take the stud safeties you can expect triple-digit tackles from, but if he can get 60 tackles plus maybe a 25-300-2 line as a receiver, there is going to be some sneaky upside.
