Devontez Walker News
Tuesday, June 23, 10:43 AM
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Devontez Walker was a standout wideout this spring for the Ravens, continually stretching the field, according to Jamison Hensley of ESPN. Walker, who was drafted in the fourth round in 2024 out of the University of North Carolina, has pressure on him this year after the Ravens drafted Ja'Kobi Lane in the third round and Elijah Sarratt in the fourth round in April. Walker is competing for the WR3 role behind Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman in 2026, and so far, he has made the most of his limited opportunities during his first two seasons in the league, scoring four touchdowns on his seven career catches. The 25-year-old pass-catcher only caught six of eight targets for 136 yards and three touchdowns in 12 games (three starts) for the Ravens last year. There is an opportunity for Walker in the Ravens' new offense in 2026, but he can be ignored in 12-team fantasy leagues to begin the year.

Roman Wilson News
Saturday, August 1, 9:36 AM
Chris Adamski of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports that veteran wide receiver Roman Wilson is "well ahead" of rookie Germie Bernard for the WR3 role behind DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr. Wilson has been an early standout in training camp this summer despite a really disappointing year in 2025 when the Steelers really needed someone to step up alongside Metcalf. The 25-year-old former third-rounder in 2024 from the University of Michigan only caught 12 passes for 166 yards and two touchdowns in 13 regular-season games (four starts) in his second year in the NFL. Wilson is looking to put that in the past, though, and his chemistry with veteran QB Aaron Rodgers cannot be discounted. His speed and versatility are what stand out the most in a Steelers offense that should be more fantasy-friendly under new head coach Mike McCarthy in 2026. Still, Wilson probably will go undrafted in most standard-sized 12-team fantasy leagues as long as he's the WR3 in a role that most likely won't demand a high volume of weekly targets.
