2026 Outlook
Recovering from an LCL tear suffered in October 2025, Hunter will be a limited participant in offseason activities but is expected to be full go for training camp. The bigger concern for his fantasy value is opportunity—the Jaguars have significantly filled out their receiver room with acquisitions like Jakobi Meyers (mid-season trade) and the emergence of Parker Washington, which will limit Hunter's available targets. With Brian Thomas Jr. remaining on the roster, Hunter faces competition from four receivers for snaps. There's also a strong possibility Hunter plays more defensive snaps in 2026, further reducing his offensive role.

At 22 years old, Hunter showed potential with an eight-catch, 101-yard, one-touchdown performance when healthy, but his fantasy value going forward depends on carving out a consistent role. For now, he should be treated as the fourth Jaguars receiver in draft order and more of a late-round dart throw, despite remaining upside if his path to targets clears.
