Who Should I Start? Derius Davis or Devontez Walker

Thursday, January 9, 9:40 PM

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Derius Davis could find himself with an expanded role in a Wild Card Round matchup against the Houston Texans on Saturday. Davis went on a solid hot streak near the end of the season, scoring touchdowns in Weeks 16 and 17. With Joshua Palmer (foot) ruled out and Quentin Johnston (thigh/illness) questionable, Davis could be needed to work alongside Ladd McConkey and D.J. Chark. Davis hasn't seen more than 37% of the team's offensive snaps in any game this season, and he averaged somewhere around 16%, so even with the injuries ahead of him, he shouldn't be expected to take on an enormous role. Still, he could be a value pick in playoff fantasy contests who happens to find himself in the end zone.

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.
