Justin Hunter WR TEN ( % Owned)
After catching for 1,083 yards and 9 touchdowns his Junior season at the University of Tennessee, the hometown wide-out was selected 34th overall in the 2013 draft by none other than the Tennessee Titans. In spite of the dynamic play and attention to Kendall Wright over the past year, young and versatile Justin Hunter has still been able to submit himself into this Titan’s passing game filled with offensive weapons. In the 8 games in which Hunter has recorded a reception, the former Volunteer has caught for 354 yards and 4 TDs (average of 44.25 yards per game). Two of those games including a 6-catch, 109-yard, 1 touchdown performance against the Raiders in week 12 and a 4-catch, 114-yard, 1 touchdown performance two games later against the Broncos. As you may or may not know, I’m kind of a trend guy. If there is a new song that I just recently heard, I’m going to set the trend and show off that song. If there’s a new #hashtag on twitter, I’m going to be tweeting with it. If there’s a new subway sub combination, you know I’m going to be ordering it (and after taking snap chats of said sub). And with the case of NFL receivers once I spot a trend in stats, I immediately take to my Waiver Wire picks and point out to you (the readers) these trends so that you may use them to your advantage. Yes, many of these trends turn out to be bogus, however when I do get them right, I get them extremely right. The past 6 games have gone like this for Hunter: Good game, bad game, Amazing game, bad game, Amazing game, bad game again. Sensing a trend? So do I? This week the Hunter is coming off a bad game and will be playing against the 28th ranked Jacksonville Jaguar defense and should be almost guaranteed an amazing game. This season the Jaguars have allowed 249.9 yards per game, including passing touchdowns to opposing WRs. As well, in the past 5 games the Jags have allowed an average of 26.4 points per game to opposing wide receivers, including 7 touchdowns. With Kendall Wright most likely attracting double coverage, expect Hunter to have a huge game receiving. Expect at least 80 yards and a touchdown as the Titans slaughter the Jaguars in Jacksonville.
