INSIGHT

Travis Hunter's Wide Range Of Outcomes

  • Travis Hunter's role expanded suddenly but his long-term ceiling is highly volatile due to usage, QB accuracy, and potential defensive snaps.
  • The realistic outcome range centers on WR2–WR3 production more often than WR1 breakout according to historical comps.
ADVICE

Don't Overpay For Short-Term Rookie Hype

  • In dynasty trade decisions, avoid overpaying for perceived immediate upside; value shouldn't drop sharply after limited sample-size role increases.
  • Prioritize patience: buy low on promising rookies rather than trading premium assets unless you truly need a championship push.
INSIGHT

Thin, Volatile RB2/RB3 Group

  • The RB2/RB3 fantasy tier is unusually unstable this season with many middling options offering boom-or-bust weeks.
  • Betting on talent (e.g., Walker) versus current usage depends on whether you need immediate points or long-term upside.
