2026 NFL training camps are about to kick off around the league, turning America’s attention back from fútbol to football. Travis and I will be out at the Miller Electric Center throughout the next few weeks to report back on your Jacksonville Jaguars. While he monitors several positional battles , I’ll be keeping an eye on two players in particular. Jacksonville’s skill player lineup for 11 personnel (1 RB, 1 TE, 3 WRs) looks impressive on paper. The starting receivers will be Brian Thomas Jr. , Parker Washington , and Jakobi Meyers ; the top tight end will be Brenton Strange ; and the lead running back role will rotate between Bhayshul Tuten , Chris Rodriguez Jr. , and LeQuint Allen Jr. The Jaguars are equipped for lighter packages as well. 10 personnel (1 RB, 0 TEs, 4 WRs) would allow Travis Hunter to play alongside those aforementioned wideouts, while 21 personnel (2 RBs, 1 TE, 2 WRs) — specifically, “pony” packages that field two receiving-capable backs as opposed to a tailback and a fullback — is another potential wrinkle to create schematic advantages. But what about when the offense wants to put heavier bodies on the field? Liam Coen could experiment with jumbo packages that add an extra offensive lineman to the equation, as he did on 108 snaps (sixth-most in the NFL) in his first year as Jaguars head coach. But that was more so a necessity than a luxury. About halfway through the 2025 season, Strange was placed on injured reserve, Hunter Long and Quintin Morris missed five combined games, and Johnny Mundt was at one point a healthy scratch. A lack of tight end availability gave way to more jumbo package opportunities. Plays with extra offensive linemen will still be part of Coen’s offense, but he’ll want to scale back those looks in favor of ones with multiple tight ends. The return of 12 personnel (1 RB, 2 TEs, 2 WRs) and 13 personnel (1 RB, 3 TEs, 1 WR) to a league ruled by three-receiver sets is perhaps the top schematic story of this offseason. Jacksonville re-signed Morris before selecting two tight ends, Nate Boerkircher and Tanner Koziol, in a draft that saw 22 tight ends in total go off the board (most since 2002). As a nearly-25-year-old prospect with just 38 career receptions, the selection of Boerkircher at No. 56 overall originally caught observers off guard. He’s an intriguing athlete, sure, but a near-top-50 selection? For someone who projects to be a No. 2 tight end? Really? Really. The Jags liked Morris enough to bring him back, and Long is still on the roster, but they’re hoping to see Boerkircher earn a Week 1 role as a complementary piece to Strange. During OTAs in June, Coen hinted toward a larger receiving workload for his top tight end so long as Boerkircher can hold up as a blocker. “As much as man, we love Brenton Strange blocking and he’s so tough, he wants to do it, he’s physical, he’ll bite you. He also missed some time last year … when you look at when he has production what our record looks like, it’s kind of interesting to see. And so, allowing Brenton to continue to do what he does well, but also to maybe take some of that wear and tear, some of the pounding that it takes when you’re blocking the Travon Walkers of the world and Josh Hines-Allens of the world, getting him matched up more on those linebackers and safeties and now he’s an advantage for us. Now we have an edge. So, we always feel good about Strange blocking at the point of attack, but we needed some help there. Being able to provide Strange an option to go maybe split out or go block other people that maybe keep him out of some of those one-on-one big situations, I think that’s going to help us tremendously.” I’m prepared to be underwhelmed by Boerkircher’s impact in the pass game for the duration of his rookie season. However, if he can hold his own in the trenches as early as training camp, I’ll feel much more comfortable about the flexibility of Coen’s offense entering the 2026 season.

After being acquired from the Las Vegas Raiders by the Jacksonville Jaguars at the 2025 trade deadline, veteran wide receiver Jakobi Meyers is entering his first full season in Jacksonville in 2026. The 29-year-old was highly productive for the Jaguars last season, recording 42 catches for 483 yards and three touchdowns on 61 targets across nine games. From Week 10 onwards, Meyers ranked as the WR23 in per-game PPR scoring. In 2026, Jacksonville could get healthier seasons out of wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. and two-way player Travis Hunter (knee), which might limit Meyers' target opportunities. However, Hunter's involvement on offense remains a question mark, and Thomas Jr. has yet to prove established chemistry with Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence. Jacksonville committed to Meyers with a three-year, $60 million contract extension, so the team clearly views him as an important piece of its offense. At his current redraft ADP of WR42, Meyers is a high-floor sleeper to target
Want to get more Covers content? Add us as a preferred source on your Google account here . Deion Sanders knows you need a team in order to win in the NFL. The Hall of Fame defensive back and current Colorado Buffaloes head coach was arguably the greatest cover corner the game has ever seen, but it wasn't until he joined stacked teams such as the San Francisco 49ers and Dallas Cowboys that he won a Super Bowl. Sanders spent the first five seasons of his career with the Atlanta Falcons where he missed the playoffs four of those years with losing records. His son, Shedeur Sanders , now faces a similar predicament with the Cleveland Browns . They're coming off of a 5-12 season and are expected to once again be one of the worst teams in the NFL . Shedeur is currently competing with veteran quarterback Deshaun Watson for the starting quarterback job. Deion Sanders wanted to see a little more out of his son as a rookie, but understands that much of it has to do with your supporting cast when you're a quarterback. "I would have wanted him to perform a little better, but that's not just an individual thing, that's a team thing," Sanders told Covers in an exclusive interview on behalf of his partnership with Depend. "A quarterback needs help tremendously from the offensive line, from the receivers, from the running game, from the coordinators as well. “It's not just a singular thing, like a defensive back. I don't care what the pass rush is, (the DB) has got to do his job. It's a little different with a quarterback. He needs several things to go right for him to be successful." The Browns recently traded reigning Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams. The move further signals how the Browns are in a rebuild with no clear sign of when they'll be contenders. That makes it more challenging for a young quarterback like Sanders, who performed decently considering the circumstances. After taking over as the starting quarterback midway through the season, Sanders went 3-4 and threw seven touchdowns against 10 interceptions. His father made it clear that he supports the job that Andrew Berry - the executive vice president of football operations - is doing in Cleveland. "I'm happy with Mr. Berry, the GM, and what he's doing, I'm not going to question his direction of what he's bringing to the table. I'm not there, so I don't know all the intangibles that provoked that trade. I'm happy with what they got, and I can't wait to see how it plays out." When the subject pivots to his other former Colorado Buffaloes star, Travis Hunter, Sanders said he's one of a kind. The former Heisman Trophy winner had a rough rookie season with the Jacksonville Jaguars , limited to just seven games after undergoing surgery on a torn ligament in his right knee. Hunter entered the year with high expectations, but he posted just 28 receptions for 298 yards and one receiving touchdown with no interceptions on defense. He wasn't able to show off his playmaking ability and gamebreaker ability that was on clear display in Colorado. "They're not going to ask me,"I thank God that you're asking me. The kid won the Heisman Trophy playing both sides of the ball. That's all I gotta say on that.” Sanders continues to echo what kind of special player that Hunter is as the only elite two-way player that college football has seen in recent memory. During his final season at Colorado, Hunter posted 96 catches for 1,258 receiving yards and 15 touchdowns along with four interceptions as a defensive back. Sanders, who played wide receiver periodically throughout his own career, said there’s no good player comparison for Hunter. "There's no comparison to what he's able to produce on the field. It's no comparison. I can't say who I would compare him to, because I would be lessening that person. That's not fair to him or the persons that I'm comparing it to. He's different, man." Sanders said he still gives advice to Hunter as he navigates h [... truncated ...]
After being acquired from the Las Vegas Raiders by the Jacksonville Jaguars at the 2025 trade deadline, veteran wide receiver Jakobi Meyers recorded 42 catches for 483 yards and three touchdowns on 61 targets across nine games with the Jags. Meyers also signed a three-year, $60 million contract extension with Jacksonville, cementing him as part of the team's plans going forward. Meyers has quietly been a highly consistent wide receiver in recent years, posting five consecutive seasons with at least 67 catches and 804 receiving yards. However, he now finds himself part of a crowded wide receiver depth chart in Jacksonville that also includes Brian Thomas Jr., Parker Washington, and Travis Hunter. Meyers may be the highest-floor option of that bunch, but he also likely offers the most limited ceiling. If Thomas Jr. and Hunter can put together healthier seasons in 2026, Meyers may see his role shrink. As he enters his age-30 season, Meyers could profile as a sell-high candidate for dynasty managers

Drops: Travis Hunter
It’s unknown whether Travis Hunter will become an effective two-way player in the NFL. He has already established himself as a two-way earner. The second overall pick in the 2025 draft received more than $12.8 million in royalties from the NFL Players Association, based on figures disclosed in the union’s latest LM-2 filing. Hunter isn’t named in the document; the payment is attributed to TIPENTERPRISE LLC. Daniel Kaplan reports in an item for Front Office Sports that the company is owned by Hunter. While significantly less than the $17.7 million earned by Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders, Hunter’s figure also breaks the prior single-year record of $9.5 million, set by Tom Brady. Unlike Sanders, who signed a four-year, $4.647 million deal as a fifth-round pick, Hunter’s rookie deal pays $46.49 million — fully guaranteed

Travis Hunter will play both ways for the Jaguars again this season. Critics say it’s a mistake, citing Hunter’s uneven rookie season that ended prematurely with a knee injury. Hunter is familiar with the doubters. “ It didn’t bother me ,” Hunter said Wednesday, via Michael DiRocco of ESPN. “They’ve been doing that my whole career.” Hunter played 324 offensive snaps and 162 defensive snaps in seven appearances last season before tearing the lateral collateral ligament in his right knee during an Oct. 30 practice. He underwent surgery on Nov. 11. Hunter finished with 28 catches for 298 yards and a touchdown on offense to go with 15 tackles on defense. The Jaguars will play Hunter more on defense, but he will still play offense. First, though, he has to get healthy. He still isn’t cleared to fully participate in football activities, which isn’t expected until some point in training camp. Hunter, though, isn’t wearing a knee brace, according to DiRocco. “I’ve got to get back on the [practice] field first,” Hunter said. “I’m excited to just be able to get back on the field and work with the guys.”
Jakobi Meyers may not have a solid fantasy floor due to increased competition in the Jaguars' offense, making him a potential sell-high candidate in dynasty leagues
Jacksonville Jaguars two-way player Travis Hunter has become one of the most challenging dynasty valuations in the game, which was always going to be the case with a player of such a unique skill set. The second overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Hunter played 66.2% of his rookie snaps on offense and looked to be on the verge of a breakout before a season-ending LCL injury in Week 7. The buzz heading into his second season has been that he will spend most of his time on defense, and while Hunter has personally pushed back against that narrative, the Jaguars receiver room is already deep enough as is to prevent anything more than a knowledgeable guess as to how targets would shake out between Brian Thomas Jr., Parker Washington, Jakobi Meyers, and a part-time Hunter. With a crowded room and the added risk of injury that comes with the workload of playing two ways, Hunter has fallen all the way to RotoBaller's WR55 only one year after coming off the board near the top of the first round in most dynasty rookie drafts. While he has the natural ability to greatly outperform that ranking if given the chance, the risks currently outweigh the rewards, and he is not a player to actively target unless his current manager is willing to sell well below market value
Brian Thomas Jr. ’s rookie season in 2024 was raucous. He played 17 games, caught 87-of-133 targets, and scored 10 times while accumulating 1,282 yards. As such, most fantasy football managers were excited to draft him in his sophomore season; BTJ was a consensus second-round pick in 2025, according to ADP. Man, did that not turn out the way ANYONE expected. Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2026 NFL season Thomas regressed monumentally last season, catching just 48 balls for 707 yards and two touchdowns (he did randomly rush for a touchdown, to be fair). And the regression went beyond the stat line; if you watched any BTJ in 2025, you saw a player who looked unfocused and uninspired. No one has really figured out what happened last season. Injury? A really bad sophomore slump? Mental miscues? Confidence issues? We don’t know — and that makes Thomas a tough player to think about when marinating over fantasy football in 2026. In fact, it makes him a tough player to evaluate even in the Jaguars ’ WR room, which is loaded with playable guys. Yahoo Sports’ Matt Harmon and Nate Tice go over the situation in Jacksonville in the video above. Play 2026 Soccer Pick 'Em with FOX One and make your picks for the world's biggest soccer tournament With NFL teams moving to 12- and 13-personnel (two and three TE sets) more and more — and if the Jaguars’ 2026 draft picks give any indication, it looks like the team is following the trend — less wide receivers are going to see the field. So the question is, who will see a cut in their playing time for the Jaguars? Who will be the de facto No. 1? Both Harmon and Tice agree that, while it SHOULD be Brian Thomas Jr. who gets the call as the No. 1 target, it’ll likely be Jakobi Meyers (who was traded to Jacksonville last season and showed well) with some Parker Washington sprinkled in. In fact, even Travis Hunter could get the call at WR1 in heavier packages. Basically, things aren’t looking good for BTJ’s outlook. But Harmon hasn’t completely closed the door on Thomas returning to his rookie year form, saying, “That guy is still in there,” — and maybe a team like the Eagles believe that, too
The Jaguars opened up a spot on their 90-man roster on Monday. They announced that they have placed wide receiver Alex Bullock on the reserve/retired list. The team will retain Bullock’s rights, but will be able to sign another player to their offseason roster in the wake of the move. Bullock signed with the Jags after going undrafted last month. He played at Nebraska for three seasons before transferring to South Dakota State last year. He had 71 catches for 936 yards and five touchdowns in 2025. Jakobi Meyers, Brian Thomas, Travis Hunter, Parker Washington, Tim Jones, and Austin Trammell are back at receiver for Jacksonville. They also drafted CJ Williams and Josh Cameron in the sixth round this year

Featured pricing is subject to change. The Jacksonville Jaguars were one of the NFL’s biggest surprises in 2025. After finishing 2024 with a lowly 4-13 record, Trevor Lawrence , Travis Hunter and co. turned things around last year and ended the season 13-4. That complete 360-degree transformation was largely thanks to Lawrence’s impressive play, a turnover-happy defense and an eight-game win streak to close the year. Although they lost a 27-24 heartbreaker to the Bills in the Wild Card round of the playoffs, the campaign was a major step in the right direction for a franchise that missed the postseason two years in a row. Yet, they’re not even close to being satisfied. “Now the real work is here to where we have to go and reload it,” rookie head coach Liam Coen said in January. With the release of the NFL schedule, Coen and his squad have an idea of what they’ll need to prepare in order to mount another successful season. Notable opponents heading to Jacksonville’s Everbank Stadium these next few months include Drake Maye ’s AFC champion New England Patriots (Sept. 27), Daniel Jones ’ Indianapolis Colts (Nov. 1), T.J. Watt ’s Pittsburgh Steelers (Dec. 14) and Jayden Daniels ’ Washington Commanders in the final home game of the season on Saturday, Jan. 2. To make sure they’re re-loaded, general manager James Gladstone signed running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. and drafted tight end Nate Boerkircher in the second round to complement fan favorites Lawrence, Hunter, Josh Hines-Allen , Travon Walker and Foyesade Oluokun .

Sell these veterans in dynasty now before their stock falls to zero
Jaguars GM James Gladstone said Wednesday that Hunter (knee) should be a "full go" for training camp and will continue playing on both sides of the ball, per The Rich Eisen Show. Gladstone made similar comments about positional expectations in January, saying Hunter will play on both sides of the ball (without elaborating on the extent). Jacksonville brass may not even have an answer there internally, after Hunter's rookie season was cut short by an LCL tear at the end of October. Fellow WRs Jakobi Meyers and Parker Washington then emerged down the stretch, teaming up with Brian Thomas to form a solid trio at the position. All three are still under contract, whereas Jacksonville lost CB Greg Newsome to the Giants in free agency, leaving a clear opening for a starting job. Conventional wisdom right now suggests Hunter will fill that job while working in a part-time role on offense. It's a reasonable expectation, yet best viewed as an evolving situation rather than a locked-in plan. For now, Hunter is a limited participant in the offseason program, with early workouts unlikely to provide any meaningful hint about his NFL future
