A week ago after he failed to convert a route, Titans receiver Justin Hunter was labeled “just another guy” by his coaches.

The nameplate on the back of his practice jersey was replaced by “JAG.”

After a week of great catches in practice, he grabbed two touchdowns in New Orleans, pulled in four catches for 111 yards and showed off the leaping ability that can make him practically impossible to defend.

“I think you’re seeing just a glimpse of what he can be, but because of what he did last night, let’s not make the mistake and think he’s, by any stretch, close to what he can be,” Whisenhunt said at his Saturday news conference. “There are a lot of things, from route depth to discipline on his releases, where even though he made some big plays last night, those have got to become more consistent.

Fantasy Impact: 

Hunter is starting to make a name for himself and we even have him trending up our WR chart, sitting at number-40. Keep in mind he played on just 36% of the snaps last year so that will need to improve, which means he'll have to steal some time away from veteran Nate Washington.

Titans WR Justin Hunter continues to impress

Titans WR Justin Hunter continued his run of strong training-camp catches. In seven-on-seven play, he hauled in a Locker pass at the left sideline despite strong coverage from Coty Sensabaugh. A few plays later, Hunter blew past rookie defensive back Marqueston Huff and caught a long pass from Charlie Whitehurst. Hunter also made two leaping receptions during team drills – once in the red zone and once down the left sideline, going up and over cornerback Ri'Shard Anderson.

Fantasy Impact: 

As a rookie, Hunter checked in with the #18 FP/T (1.41), which is encouraging, especially if he’s able to beat out Nate Washington and get on the field as more than a just a passing-down specialist. He only played 36% of the team’s snaps, while Washington played 82%. The good news is that under then-OC Ken Whisenhunt, Keenan Allen, Vincent Brown and Eddie Royal all played at least 67% of the Chargers’ snaps. So with Whiz calling the plays in Tennessee, there may be room for both Washington and Hunter in the lineup.

Titans Beat: WR Kendall Wright is team's 'best player...by a good margin'

Titans beat writer Paul Kuharsky:

Kendall Wright is the Titans' best player right now, by a good margin.

He’s caught everything thrown to him, by whichever quarterback, over whichever defender, against whatever coverage.

I like the Titans' overall weaponry. Justin Hunter, Nate Washington, Delanie Walker, Dexter McCluster and Bishop Sankey offer a nice serving plate of solid options in addition to Wright.

But Wright is 1A, very much at the top of the list, his name absolutely in capital letters.

Make them bold, too.

Fantasy Impact: 

Wright caught 94 passes for 1,079 yards, but only found the endzone twice. He’s not likely to become a major force in the redzone, though new HC Ken Whisenhunt had success around the goal line with a similar player (Eddie Royal) in San Diego. Royal scored six of his eight TDs from inside the 15-yard line (typically on quick screens), so Whisenhunt may elect to use Wright in the same way.

Consistency will be key for Titans WR Justin Hunter this season.

"He's a young guy and it's a hard adjustment for a guy to come in here from a collegiate level to an NFL level," Nate Washington said. "You're playing against 29- and 30-year old men. That's something he has to understand, something he's better understood in this offseason."

The 30-year-old Washington, entering his 10th season in the league, looks for Hunter to be more comfortable as a second-year pro.

"His confidence is going to grow," Washington said. "Confidence is everything in this league. Once the confidence grows, the plays will start coming. I think he's been making a good transition here in this offseason of understanding what's expected of him. Now he understands what he's capable of – 'Where do I stand with the guys that have already been here?' So that's good for him."

Fantasy Impact: 

We have Hunter just 67th on our list but he has an ADP of the 14th round, so fantasy players seem to at least be interested in his potential - enough to make him a late round pick.
