Elic Ayomanor vs Travis Hunter: Who Should You Start?
The gap between Elic Ayomanor and Travis Hunter is smaller than most fantasy managers think. Separated by just 1.1 PPG in 2025, this is one of those wide receiver decisions that comes down to context, not name recognition. Elic Ayomanor averaged 6.0 PPG with the Tennessee Titans across 16 games, and Travis Hunter posted 7.1 with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 7.
When two wide receivers are separated by less than two points per game, the decision shifts to weekly context. Who has the softer defense? Who is trending up over the last month? Which team is projected for more total points? Those are the tiebreakers that actually matter.
Target volume is the story here. Elic Ayomanor saw 89 targets in 2025, while Travis Hunter drew 45. That workload gap usually translates into a higher weekly floor for Elic Ayomanor, even in weeks where Travis Hunter posts the bigger ceiling game. Consistency-minded managers lean toward target share; boom-bust managers chase the upside.
Elic Ayomanor has his bye in Week 5, and Travis Hunter rests in Week 12. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at wide receiver for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
