Who Should I Start? Tyler Johnson or Devontez Walker

Saturday, March 15, 12:15 PM

Former Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tyler Johnson has signed an undisclosed contract with the New York Jets. The 25-year-old is entering his sixth season in the league after spending two years with the Rams and the first three seasons of his career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. A former fifth-round pick, Johnson got a good amount of playing time early in 2024 while LA dealt with injuries to Puka Nacua and former wideout Cooper Kupp. However, he's climbed the depth chart with his new squad and figures to slot in as the Jets' second or third option in their WR corps. New York may continue to bolster their core of pass-catchers. Still, Johnson presents as a low-risk, high-reward option as the Jets continue to retool their roster.

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.
