Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Devontez Walker bounced back from a catch-less preseason debut to lead all of their pass-catchers in the 31-13 win over the Dallas Cowboys. The former fourth-round pick caught six of his eight targets for 61 yards (10.2 yards per catch). Four of his targets came on the Ravens' second drive, and he contributed 25 yards to lead to a field goal eventually. Walker has been showing some great catching ability, even when it happens after the whistle, despite the below-average quarterback play from Cooper Rush and Devin Leary this preseason. Walker likely won't crack the top three unless someone gets hurt, but he could make some strides for the future.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Devontez Walker couldn't get in on the action during the team's preseason debut against the Indianapolis Colts. The second-year wideout wasn't fully to blame for his zero receptions on two targets in this contest. While the offensive line struggled, so did Devin Leary, who overthrew Walker when he was open in the end zone. On another play, Walker fought off a defensive pass interference and caught a ball while falling backwards, but it didn't show up on the stat sheet. Walker was drafted in 2024 to eventually become a deep threat, but with LaJohntay Wester having a big debut, he may start to feel some real pressure.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Devontez Walker (undisclosed) returned to training camp practices after briefly being sidelined due to an undisclosed soft-tissue injury. A fourth-round draft pick by the Ravens in 2024, Walker had just one catch (a 21-yard touchdown grab) in nine games played as a rookie. Baltimore has an established trio at the top of their depth chart in Zay Flowers, DeAndre Hopkins, and Rashod Bateman. That leaves Walker fighting for a depth role with Tylan Wallace, Keith Kirkwood, and sixth-round rookie LaJohntay Wester. Walker would need an injury to at least one of Baltimore's top three wide receivers to factor into fantasy this year.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Devontez Walker was a fourth-round selection in last year's NFL Draft, but the North Carolina product only played in nine games and caught just one pass for 21 yards and a touchdown. Entering his sophomore campaign, the 24-year-old said he feels more comfortable and ready to play at full speed. Head coach John Harbaugh is optimistic about the speedster's future. "Every day, all he does is show up and go 100 miles an hour," Harbaugh said. "He's got a chance to be really good." While Walker figures to open the season as no better than the WR4 behind Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, and DeAndre Hopkins, he could be worth a final-round dart throw in best ball formats based on the offseason praise. However, it would be a surprise if he's a consistent fantasy producer and worth rostering in 12-team setups.

According to The Athletic's Jeff Zrebiec, Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Devontez Walker would have won the most improved player award by a landslide if the team had given one out at the end of the offseason program. Walker made plays in nearly every practice and was showcasing his size and speed after being barely noticeable through offseason workouts and training camp in 2024. "He's got a chance to be really good," head coach John Harbaugh said. The 24-year-old is playing faster while showing more confidence and polish in his game. The former fourth-rounder (113th overall) last year caught just one pass on three targets for 21 yards and a touchdown in nine regular-season games. Walker has some big-play ability down the field, but if all three of Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman and DeAndre Hopkins stay healthy, he'll have a tough time making noise for fantasy managers.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Devontez Walker capped off the preseason in a lackluster way just like the rest of his training camp and preseason has gone. The rookie out of North Carolina caught one of his two targets for four yards against the Packers on Saturday which left him with a total of the exact same for the entire preseason. He was only targeted one other time and didn't catch that one. Walker has been dealing with a lot of injury issues through camp, so he was on and off the field for a lot of it. As it stands currently, he doesn't seem to be in line for a prominent role right away while Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, and Nelson Agholor are still the top three on the depth chart. Walker will need to battle Deonte Harty and Tylan Wallace for snaps after the starting trio.
