Cleveland will get the 2025 5th overall pick, 36th overall pick, 126th overall pick, and a 2026 first rounder from Jacksonville. It’s a big price to pay, but one that could pay off as Hunter joins elite WR Brian Thomas Jr. as legit weapons for Trevor Lawrence. The Jaguars received the 2nd overall pick, 104th overall pick (4th round), and 200th overall pick (6th round) in the trade with the Browns. Hunter was rated as the No. 1 overall prospect from the 2022 prep cycle, but opted to attend FCS Jackson State where Deion Sanders was the head coach. He followed Coach Prime to Colorado and had to make some adjustments in year one, allowing a 56.6% completion rate and five touchdowns while he cut his teeth at the Power Four level. Last year Hunter put it all together posting a pristine 90.3 coverage grade which ranked second-best in the P4, to go with 13 stops four interceptions and a dirt-low 39.9 NFL passer rating against. The reigning Heisman Trophy winner excelled with a phenomenal 35.1% forced incompletion rate and 0.46 yards per coverage snap while also pitching in with 13 stops. His ball skills in coverage are premium, which you might expect from the class’ top receiving prospect. The fluidity of his hips and acceleration to drive on the ball and create disruption at the catch point is the best in class, as he transitions freely and easily from backpedal to a dead sprint. He could stand to clean up an elevated 14.3% missed tackle rate, but he only missed 8.8% of tackles in 2023 and 0% in 2022, so that’s not a big concern. Hunter is a generational two-way player the likes of which are rarely seen in the modern day NFL.

Mitchell did not play in the second half of Sunday’s Game 4 blowout loss after aggravating a left ankle injury. The good news is that he’ll be available for Tuesday’s game, and the Cavaliers will need all hands on deck as they trail three games to one. Cleveland will go with its regular starting lineup, with Darius Garland, Max Strus, Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen joining Mitchell. According to TNT, an MRI on Monday revealed a sprain and showed that Mitchell did not suffer any additional damage.

Absent from the Cavaliers’ initial injury report for Game 5, Merrill has been added due to a strained neck. With Donovan Mitchell (ankle) a game-time decision, Cleveland could be down two rotation players with their season on the line. They would require more production from Darius Garland, Max Strus and Ty Jerome to keep their season alive.

Povich might wind up taking the ball for Wednesday’s nightcap, but that’s up in the air at the moment. The 25-year-old lefty was slated to start Tuesday’s contest before it was postponed due to rain. It’ll be Dean Kremer drawing the starting assignment for the opening contest of the twin bill.

Muncy takes a seat with lefty Jeffrey Springs drawing the starting assignment for the Athletics. He’s been a non-factor this season for fantasy purposes, hitting .190 with one homer, nine RBI and one steal over 39 games. It’ll be Enrique Hernández getting an opportunity at the hot corner on Tuesday night.

Hauser has been out of the Celtics’ lineup since spraining his ankle during Game 1. His likely return will give Boston another rotation player to call upon, as Jayson Tatum (Achilles) is out for the foreseeable future. With Kristaps Porzingis (illness) still not back to full strength, Hauser will play rotation minutes if cleared, potentially as a starter.

Royals doesn’t have an obvious and open spot in the receiving corps to build short-term fantasy value with Xavier Worthy, Hollywood Brown, and Rashee Rice operating in the opening 11-personnel package. He may or may not play his way into WR4 duties depending on how the team feels about JuJu Smith-Schuster. Royals has plenty of talent and Brown is on a one-year deal, so there is a future where Royals is more than a bit player for the Chiefs. It likely won’t happen in his first season without injuries in front of him.
