With Zay Flowers sidelined due to quad contusion, the 2024 fourth-round pick is positioned for an uptick in receiving opportunities. Head coach Jesse Minter noted that Flowers' absence will lead to increased opportunities for the rest of the receiving corps, particularly Walker, as well as rookies Ja'Kobi Lane and Elijah Sarratt, who are looking to carve out roles in the new offensive scheme.

2024 fourth-round pick Devontez Walker is expected to see increased opportunities with Zay Flowers sidelined. Head coach Jesse Minter noted that Flowers' absence will lead to an uptick in opportunities for the rest of the team's receiving corps, 'particularly' Walker, who will have a chance to step into expanded roles and run some of the routes that Flowers typically executes.

Ravens WR3 battle is one to watch in Training Camp per @jamisonhensley Devontez Walker, Ja'Kobi Lane, and Elijah Sarratt are all live for that role Take: There's still a chance the team invests in a Vet WR so now is not the time to buy. Wait a few weeks and see. Sarratt is my favorite. @CoachspeakIndex had a nice tweet about the words spoken from HC/OC/GM about Devontez Walker this offseason, which is 0.

North Carolina receiver competing for Ravens WR role; the source notes he was 'very good' at the Senior Bowl but 'kept dropping balls,' which is a significant concern for his fantasy viability despite physical tools.

NegativeRoleJul 21, 2026RotoWire NFL Articles

Walker is presumed WR3 in Baltimore but is more of a field-stretching decoy than a candidate to draw many targets per snap. He trends toward the sideline and far downfield, making him less likely to accumulate targets on the intermediate and underneath routes that are more prevalent in the Ravens' offense. This limits his upside compared to Elijah Sarratt and Ja'Kobi Lane.

Coach Mentor mentioned Devonte Walker as a tight end who "could take another step," noting he "has his feet wet now and knows what it looks like." This is the first offseason mention of Walker and suggests the Ravens view him as a candidate for increased role or production, particularly relevant given the team's loss of Kolar and potential shift away from two tight end sets.

Ravens have provided no official communication about Walker despite training camp reports from the Athletic's Ravens beat writer indicating he looks strong and is positioned as the team's wide receiver three. The lack of media coverage and coaching staff questions about his role and depth chart placement is notable given the new head coach and staff, especially since Eric DeCosta (previous GM) drafted him. This silence contrasts with the team's willingness to discuss other receivers.

It's hard to give a recommendation on buying Devontez Walker's ascension given that the Ravens could add one of the major available free agent wide receivers, and Walker warrants no more than a bench spot in most leagues.
