The outlook
What 2026 looks like
for Hunter Renfrow.
Renfrow built a career as one of the better slot separators of his generation, and the tape from his six games in 2025 still shows the same route feel that once made him a high volume PPR option. The numbers, though, are a steep drop from his peak. Fifteen catches on 26 targets for 89 yards works out to 3.42 yards per target, well below a startable rate at any position, and his snap share sat under 50 percent even when he was active. His role was limited and situational rather than primary.
The 2026 outlook is realistic rather than optimistic. He is on Carolina's roster as of August 2026, but the target share and snap count from last season point to a depth piece, not someone you plan around. Whether he claims a bigger role this year is a bigger question than his skill level, which has never been the issue. Best treated as a late season waiver stash if an injury opens up snaps ahead of him, not a draft day pick.
