Devontez Walker to See New Opportunities, Remains off Many Fantasy Radars

Saturday, September 19, 6:39 AM

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Devontez Walker missed the Ravens' Week 1 victory over the Indianapolis Colts due to a groin injury. Still, he completed three full practices and shed his injury designation ahead of the Week 2 home opener against the New Orleans Saints. His fellow wide receivers are not as fortunate. The team's WR1, Zay Flowers (hamstring), is doubtful for Sunday's contest, and promising rookie receiver Ja'Kobi Lane (wrist) was placed on IR after Wednesday's surgery for a fractured wrist. Walker has primarily been on the outside looking in, but he likely will see an uptick in usage against the Saints as the Ravens enter Week 2 slightly thin at the position. Last week against the Detroit Lions, the Saints gave up over 30 fantasy points to the wide receiver position and 204 total passing yards, which demonstrates the Saints' defense is exploitable through the air. In Week 2 of 2025, Walker hauled in two targets for two receptions, both for touchdowns. Fantasy managers interested in starting Walker this week hope lightning will strike again in Week 2. Moreover, in his seven career games with targets since being drafted in 2024, he has four touchdowns on just 11 targets and seven receptions. Ranked WR87 by Rotoballer, he is a desperation play outside the deepest leagues but an interesting DFS dart throw for those interested in his home run-hitting abilities.

Luke McCaffrey Slipping Down the Depth Chart in New-Look Receiver Room

Friday, September 11, 8:33 PM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Luke McCaffrey is falling down the depth chart ahead of the 2026 NFL season, and as a result, his fantasy outlook has taken a massive hit. McCaffrey, a 2024 third-round pick out of Rice, is the brother of 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey. He has never finished higher than WR108 in his two NFL seasons, and he missed eight games due to injury last season. The Commanders beefed up their wide receiver room this offseason with Stefon Diggs and Antonio Williams, who will operate behind Terry McLaurin. That leaves McCaffrey vying for the No. 4 receiver spot at best, although he's also losing ground to Dyami Brown, Treylon Burks, and Jaylin Lane. If not for his special teams value, McCaffrey would probably have found himself on the roster bubble by now. He can be dropped in all fantasy leagues.
