Tennessee Titans wide receiver Justin Hunter was upgraded to a full practice on Thursday. Hunter was limited in Wednesday's practice with a listed knee injury, but he's not expected to miss Sunday's Week 12 game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Justin Hunter upgraded to full practice, remains a fantasy gamble

Hunter has been even more inconsistent in his second year in the league. Despite winning a starting job and playing nearly every snap, Hunter has just 23 catches for 416 yards and two touchdowns in 10 games. Despite his deep-threat ability and the big arm of quarterback Zach Mettenberger, the two don't seem to have formed any connection. Hunter has a weak 7-96-1 line in the three games Mettenberger has started.
Fantasy impact: The Eagles defense is a friendly matchup on paper, but Hunter cannot be trusted in re-draft leagues anymore. Whatever sleeper potential he had is long gone and we’re left with someone who seems to have taken a step backwards after a promising rookie year. Hunter hasn’t been worth owning in 12-team leagues in over a month now. He’s only a tenuous dynasty stash at the moment.
