Jarquez Hunter

Jarquez Hunter is a 23-year-old Saints running back out of Auburn, drafted in 2025 and now in his second NFL season. The data here doesn't break down his usage, so it can't say whether his production comes from early-down carries, passing-game work or goal-line touches. That gap matters for a running back, because role is most of the fantasy case.

His one prior season gives little to go on. Hunter appeared in 5 games in 2025 and finished with a PPR rank of 2030, which points to minimal fantasy output in that span. No 2026 stats are included, so there's no per-game line from this season to set against his rookie year.

The fantasy and DFS read rests almost entirely on the Clutch Edge projection of 19.8 PPR points per game, ranked 31st overall among QBs, RBs, WRs and TEs. That's a starter-level number for a player whose track record shows almost nothing yet. Whatever value exists comes from expected opportunity, not past production. Before rostering him, managers should confirm his current workload, since the projection only holds if he is getting a featured share of the backfield touches. If his early 2026 usage looks more like his 2025 footprint, the number won't hold.
