Episode notes
Travis Hunter's Role Determines Ceiling
- Travis Hunter's upside depends heavily on Jaguars snap role and usage on offense versus defense.
- If he plays ~80–90% of dropback snaps and Trevor Lawrence progresses, Hunter can finish as a top-25 WR.
Stash Godwin On IR If Available
- Stash Chris Godwin if your league allows IR spots and wait for him to return to full health.
- When healthy he carries WR1 upside despite Mike Evans and new competition.
Market Fades Create High-Upside Value
- Recent market movement has pushed Hunter and Godwin down in ADP, creating swing-for-the-fence opportunities.
- Maintaining risk equity in drafts can yield high rewards with these buy-low spots.
