Devontez Walker is a 2024 fantasy football draft sleeper at wide receiver and an ADP draft value. Target Devontez Walker as an undervalued WR in fantasy football drafts.
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~285 Overall
CURRENT ADP: ~344
ANALYSIS: Once upon a time, wide receivers would go to Baltimore to disappear. Remember Sammy Watkins and Odell Beckham Jr. as Ravens? I wish I didn’t.
It used to be a fantasy death sentence for a receiver to be in the Ravens' offense, but that is about to change.
In just one season at North Carolina, Devontez Walker would average 85.7 receiving yards per game and 2.28 yards per route run in eight contests after missing the season's first five games.
PFF @PFF_Sam had a lot of good things to say about Devontez Walker:
- Drops are overblown; had just 2 all season & miserable Senior Bowl
- Legit speed, competes at catch point
- Had a 2nd round grade on him & thinks he’s a steal
- Better value than Brian Thomas #Ravens

Walker, at 6-foot-1, has the size, and with 4.36 speed and a 40.5” vertical, he is as explosive as any rookie receiver from the 2024 draft class. That combination should put him in a good position with Lamar Jackson, who happens to be one of the most efficient passers outside the numbers.
Dating back to his time at Kent State before transferring to Chapel Hill, Walker averaged 3.43 yards per route run against single coverage. That is worth noting since he will likely see plenty of single coverage while sharing the field with Mark Andrews and Zay Flowers.

The running back position is one of major scarcity in fantasy football.
