# Sean Kerner: Kerner's top move is Travis Hunter to Jacksonville, though he calls Hunter's WR30 price a bit rich given usage uncertainty. He is all-in on Ashton Jeanty as a workhorse with top-five rookie upside, likes Ben Johnson's arrival for Caleb Williams and rookie TE Colston Loveland, expects DeVonta Adams to boost Matthew Stafford's touchdown total over 22.5, and is heavily drafting Jayden Higgins as Houston's No. 2 receiver. **Claimed:** Jul 23, 2025 **Pundit:** Sean Kerner — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/pundits/sean-kerner **Outlet:** The Herd with Colin Cowherd (podcast) — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/outlets/the-herd-with-colin-cowherd-podcast **How it reached us:** said on air or in an interview **Original:** https://omny.fm/shows/the-favorites-sports-betting-podcast/top-10-nfl-fantasy-moves-1 7 checkable claims — 2 depth chart calls, 2 sleeper calls, 1 fantasy bust call, 1 player season number and 1 positional finishe — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet.
