Travis Hunter Position Eligibility & Scoring (2025–26 → 2026–27)

The dual-position era officially arrived in Jacksonville, and we’ve received a number of questions about how we’re handling Travis Hunter’s unique role.

Position Designation

To reflect his usage on both sides of the ball, Travis Hunter was assigned both Wide Receiver (WR) and Defensive Back (DB) eligibility for the 2025–26 season.

We monitored his role throughout the year, and he retained both designations for the full season.

👉 Looking ahead:
Hunter will continue to carry both WR and DB eligibility into the 2026–27 season.

As always, we’ll keep an eye on usage going forward, but any future changes would be based on a clear and sustained shift in role.

We will continue to monitor his usage throughout the season, and while it is possible that one of these designations could be removed in the future, both the WR and DB tags will remain active throughout the entire 2025–2026 season.

Scoring in Non-IDP Leagues

In standard non-IDP (Individual Defensive Player) leagues, Hunter will only score fantasy points from offensive stats by default.

However, commissioners can choose to include defensive scoring—even without adding IDP roster spots.

Example:

  • Want Hunter to earn points for a defensive touchdown?
    → Set a value (e.g., 6 points) for IDP TD in your league’s scoring settings

Keep in mind:

  • These settings apply to all players, not just Travis Hunter

Ultimately, commissioners have full control over how (or if) defensive production is scored.

Frequently Asked Questions

What scoring does the Scott Fish Bowl use?

The Scott Fish Bowl included IDP scoring in 2025 without adding IDP roster spots.
This allowed Travis Hunter to earn points for both offensive and defensive production.

Can I change these settings during the season?

Yes. Commissioners can update scoring settings at any time. If retroactive application is needed, a commish tool is available. Navigate to “Edit Matchup Scores,” then select “Recalculate all matchup records for Week XX” to apply changes to previous matchups.

Can my commissioner adjust Hunter's positional tags?

No. Player position designations are set platform-wide and cannot be edited by commissioners.
