Tennessee Titans wide receiver Justin Hunter played on 41 of 49 offensive snaps in Sunday's loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Hunter, a second-year player who is the third receiver on the field, played fewer snaps than Kendall Wright (42) and Nate Washington (46), but just barely. Clearly, the Titans view the three-wide set as their base offense, or at least they did against the Cowboys.
Justin Hunter plays 41 of 49 snaps; fantasy value still iffy
Tennessee Titans receiver Justin Hunter received plenty of playing time on offense as the third receiver on the field. We break down the fantasy implications.

That's not surprising, given that the Cowboys were dominated by the San Francisco 49ers in Week 1. It didn't go Tennessee's way this time, and Hunter only managed to haul in two catches for 26 yards out of his six targets.
Fantasy Impact: Hunter was a second-round pick in 2013 and has a lot of playmaking ability. As such, he’s been a recommended pickup in fantasy leagues for his boom potential, but thus far hasn’t produced much in two games. He’s expected to be one of, if not the best option on the Titans from a fantasy standpoint but again, he hasn’t put it all together just yet.
He may not be worth a start until he does manage to show something, but playing time is not a concern as of now.
