Joining Jags
Duvernay agreed to a two-year, $8.5 million contract twith the Jaguars on Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Duvernay spent his first four seasons with the Ravens and proved himself to be an All-Pro special-teams player. He projects to return both kicks and punts in Jacksonville while also providing depth at receiver. The 26-year-old averaged 24.8 yards per kick return during his career in Baltimore and also scored two touchdowns.

Returning to action Saturday
Duvernay (back) is listed as active for Saturday's divisional-round game against the Texans.
Analysis: A back issue forced Duvernay to injured reserve for the final four contests of the regular season, but after the Ravens' first-round bye, he was able to log full practices this week and be activated in advance of Saturday's outing. With his status now cleared up, he likely will slot into both return roles due to Tylan Wallace (knee) being sidelined, but Duvernay may have a tough time reentering the WR mix with all of Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, Odell Beckham and Nelson Agholor available to…read more

Activated from IR, still questionable
The Ravens activated Duvernay (back) from injured reserve Friday, but he remains questionable for Saturday's divisional-round game against the Texans.
Analysis: Duvernay sat out the last four contests of the regular season due to back spasms, but Friday's transaction has given him a chance to play for the first time since Week 14. Assuming he isn't included among the Ravens' inactives, which will be confirmed about 90 minutes before Saturday's 4:30 p.m. ET kickoff, he's a good bet to resume return duties with Tylan Wallace (knee) sidelined this weekend. In 13 appearances this season, Duvernay has averaged 19.3 yards on nine kick returns and 12.6 yards…read more

Expected to play Saturday
Duvernay (back) is in line to be be activated from injured reserve ahead of Saturday's divisional-round game against the Texans, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports.
Analysis: Duvernay, who was deemed a full practice participant Tuesday through Thursday, is officially listed as questionable by the Ravens, but it looks like the wideout -- who last suited up Week 14 -- is slated to return to action this weekend. Assuming that's the case, he'll provide the team with added pass-catching depth and presumably reclaim his key role in Baltimore's return game.

Gets in full practice Tuesday
Duvernay (back) was a full participant at practice Tuesday.
Analysis: Duvernay still technically hasn't been activated from the Ravens' injured reserve list, but it appears he's likely on track to play in the divisional round. Over 13 games this season, he turned nine targets into four catches for 18 yards.

Cleared to practice
The Ravens designated Duvernay (back) for return from injured reserve Wednesday.
Analysis: Duvernay, who last saw game action in Week 14, is thus slated to return to practice ahead of the Ravens' postseason opener during the divisional round. Though Duvernay was limited to four catches (on nine targets) for 18 yards in 13 contests prior to landing on IR, he served as the team's primary returner. Assuming he experiences no setbacks in his return to practice, Duvernay's potential availability for the divisional round should provide a big boost to Baltimore's special-teams units.

Officially moves to IR
Duvernay (back) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.
Analysis: The move doesn't come as a surprise after Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Tuesday that the two-time Pro Bowl return man would likely miss the final four weeks of the regular season due to the back injury he suffered in this past Sunday's 37-31 overtime win over the Rams.

Headed to IR
The Ravens are expected to place Duvernay (back) on injured reserve this week, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Duvernay exited Sunday's 37-31 overtime win over the Rams with a back issue. According to Rapoport, the two-time Pro Bowl return man won't require a procedure to address the injury and should be back for the playoffs, but he'll miss the final four games of the regular season. Tylan Wallace should handle return duties for Baltimore in Duvernay's stead, while the team signed quarterback/wide receiver Malik Cunningham off the Patriots' practice squad to fill the open spot on the 53-man roster.

Unlikely for Week 15
Duvernay could miss a week or more after suffering a back injury Sunday against the Rams, according to head coach John Harbaugh, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Duvernay was dealing with back spasms during the game, which kept the fourth-year pro sidelined. Any time missed moving forward will affect the Ravens' special-teams unit, and to a lesser extent, their depth at wide receiver. Tylan Wallace, who recorded a game-winning punt return for a touchdown in overtime, will likely continue to handle return duties in Duvernay's absence.

Duvernay (hamstring) is listed as active for Thursday night's game against the Bengals.
Analysis: Duvernay approached the contest listed as questionable, but he'll be available to provide the Ravens with wideout depth as well as maintain his role as a returner. In 10 games to date, Duvernay has caught four of his nine targets for 18 yards and rushed three times for 15 yards.

Limited with hamstring injury
Duvernay (hamstring) was limited in Tuesday's practice.
Analysis: Duvernay wasn't on the injury report Monday, making him a mid-week addition prior to Thursday night's game against the Bengals. The veteran wideout and return man has played just 20 percent of the offensive snaps this season, catching four passes for 18 yards on nine targets.

Duvernay played 14 snaps on offense and went without a target or rushing attempt in Sunday's 24-16 win over the Titans in London.
Analysis: Sunday's game marked the first time since Week 1 that Duvernay went without a touch on offense. The speedy 26-year-old wideout made an impact on special teams, however, bringing back three punts for 91 yards.

Minimal usage on high snap count
Duvernay caught both of his targets for eight yards in Sunday's win over the Browns.
Analysis: The fourth-year wideout played a season-high 33 snaps with Odell Beckham (ankle) and Rashod Bateman (hamstring) sidelined. The uptick in playing time didn't result in a production boost, though, as Duvernay was targeted on just two of those snaps and his receptions totaled just eight yards. He continues to be a quality returner and special teamer, but his role in the offense is seemingly nonexistent even when other receivers are out with injury. Baltimore travels to Pittsburgh in Week 5.

Analysis: After getting in just a limited practice Wednesday, Duvernay was a full go Thursday, which should erase any concerns about his availability for Sunday's game against the Colts.

Fills versatile role Week 2
Duvernay was held without a reception on three targets and carried three times for 15 yards in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Bengals.
Analysis: After logging seven snaps on offense in the Ravens' season-opening win over the Texans, Duvernay tripled that total in Week 2. He played 22 snaps Sunday, drawing targets on three of the 11 routes he ran but failing to cash in. Instead, Duvernay made his biggest mark as a ballcarrier, helping to absorb some of the vacated touches created by running back J.K. Dobbins' season-ending Achilles injury.

Moving past foot injury
Duvernay (foot) participated in Tuesday's mandatory minicamp practice, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Duvernay, who underwent surgery in December to address a broken fifth metatarsal in his foot, continues to make solid progress and will now look to carve out a role in a Ravens wideout corps that also includes fellow rehabbing receiver Rashod Bateman (foot), along with newcomers Odell Beckham, Zay Flowers and Nelson Agholor. In light of the new additions to the roster, Duvernay doesn't have a clear path to steady targets in 2023, but he should settle back in as the Ravens' top return man.

Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said Wednesday that Duvernay (foot) has been working hard and "kind of building his stamina back up" this spring.
Analysis: Duvernay suffered a broken fifth metatarsal Dec. 20 and didn't resume running until the spring. He's been doing some on-field activities at the first few OTA sessions but still has limitations five months removed from the major injury. Duvernay averaged only 3.5 targets per game last season despite starting in 13 of his 14 appearances, and he's likely sliding down the depth chart after the Ravens added wideouts Odell Beckham, Zay Flowers and Nelson Agholor this offseason.

The wideout suffered a broken fifth metatarsal in his right foot during practice last December.

Ravens coach John Harbaugh said he expects Duvernay (foot) to be with the team for 2023, Jonas Shaffer of the Baltimore Banner reports.
Analysis: There's been talk of Duvernay becoming a cap casualty after a second Pro Bowl nod activated a contract escalator that pushes his salary to a non-guaranteed $4.3 million for the fourth and final season of his rookie contract. It's a reasonable number, and arguably even a bargain, given that he's been a top-notch return man on both punts and kickoffs while also manning the slot on offense.

Coach sheds light on injury
Ravens head coach John Harbaugh confirmed Thursday that Duvernay suffered a broken fifth metatarsal of his right foot during Tuesday's practice, Clifton Brown of the Ravens' official site reports. "[It was] out of the blue. He felt something [while running a route]," Harbaugh said. "We didn't know how serious is was or wasn't until later, and they got the X-rays back and it was just a broken fifth metatarsal."
Analysis: Duvernay was shuttled to injured reserve just hours after suffering the injury, opening up a spot on the 53-man roster for waiver-wire pickup Sammy Watkins in the process. Harbaugh seemed to suggest that Duvernay won't need surgery to address the injury, with the coach noting that the receiver will have a chance to return for the Super Bowl, should the Ravens be able to make an improbable postseason run. For all intents and purposes, however, Duvernay's 2022 season can be considered over, with…read more

Held catchless in win
Duvernay failed to secure his only target in Sunday's 16-14 win over the Steelers.
Analysis: Duvernay was a complete nonfactor, as the wideout failed to record a reception for the first time this season. With Lamar Jackson (knee) sidelined, the Ravens offense attempted just 17 passes in the contest, and it's hard to trust any of Baltimore's pass catchers as long as he's out.

Analysis: Duvernay finished second on Baltimore in receptions and third in both receiving yards and targets, but outside of his long reception of 13 yards, he posted just 21 on his other five catches.

Unfortunately, the speedster couldn't get much going despite what was on paper a favorable matchup.

Ultimately, the injury wasn't enough of a concern to prevent Duvernay from suiting up Sunday, and the 25-year-old wideout isn't expected to face any limitations while serving in his usual starting role.

Analysis: Duvernay was limited in practice Friday, but he hadn't previously appeared on the Week 12 injury report for Baltimore. Duvernay and Demarcus Robinson (hip) -- who is listed as questionable but also expected to play -- have served as Lamar Jackson's top wideouts with Rashod Bateman (foot) out for the season.

Held to one catch Sunday
Duvernay brought in his sole target for three yards, rushed once for four yards and returned two punts for five yards in the Ravens' 13-3 win over the Panthers on Sunday.
Analysis: Duvernay was disappointingly uninvolved on a day when Mark Andrews returned to action from a one-game absence and Demarcus Robinson stepped up with his biggest yardage total since 2019. The speedster's production is still tough to trust on a week-to-week basis, though he'll have a favorable matchup in a Week 12 road battle against an inconsistent Jaguars defense.

Duvernay recorded one reception on one target for five yards in Monday's 27-13 win over the Saints.
Analysis: Duvernay seemed to have a clear role heading into the game with both Mark Andrews (shoulder) and Rashod Bateman (foot) sidelined. However, he managed his lone catch on Baltimore's second possession of the game and didn't factor in as a receiver from there.

Duvernay is expected to serve as the Ravens' No. 1 wide receiver for the rest of the season after head coach John Harbaugh announced Thursday that Rashod Bateman (foot) won't play again in 2022, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Tight end Mark Andrews (shoulder/ankle) will most likely continue operating as the No. 1 target for quarterback Lamar Jackson while Bateman is out of the lineup, but Duvernay becomes the clear top option in the Ravens' weak wide-receiver room for the back half of the season.

Duvernay secured all four targets for 31 yards, rushed twice for 33 yards and a touchdown, returned three kickoffs for 72 yards and ran back three punts for 27 yards in the Ravens' 27-22 win over the Buccaneers on Thursday night.
Analysis: Duvernay's extremely busy stat line underscores his importance to the victory. The speedster's 15-yard rushing touchdown midway through the fourth quarter was critical in giving the Ravens some breathing room after the Buccaneers had closed to within 17-13, and it was his first trip to the end zone since Week 3.

Duvernay secured two of three targets for 42 yards in the Ravens' 23-20 win over the Browns.
Analysis: Duvernay tied Rashod Bateman for the team lead in receiving yards, but it was a modest figure overall on a day when Lamar Jackson threw for only 120 yards. Duvernay has recorded over 40 receiving yards in all but two games this season, but his overall upside remains capped thanks to Baltimore's usual run-first mentality. Duvernay's next opportunity to build up his numbers comes in a Week 8 Thursday night battle against the Buccaneers.

Duvernay recorded one catch on five targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Giants.
Analysis: Duvernay tied for the lead in targets among Baltimore's wide receivers in the absence of Rashod Bateman (foot). However, he seemingly was not on the same page as Lamar Jackson, which is surprising given that he had converted nine of his last 12 targets into receptions entering Sunday's game. Assuming Bateman remains out, Duvernay will have a legitimate chance to contribute to the offense in Week 7 against the Browns, though his involvement continues to pale in comparison to that of Mark Andrews.

Analysis: Duvernay had an interesting stat line, as the three rushing attempts and 24 yards were both new season highs. The versatile wideout gained most of his rushing yards on a broken play that had a shotgun snap hit him in the arm as he motioned in front of Lamar Jackson, leading to a fortunate fumble that allowed the speedster to gain 12 yards and the first down.

Finds end zone in win
Duvernay secured both targets for 25 yards and a touchdown and netted minus-2 yards on two rushes in the Ravens' 37-26 win over the Patriots on Sunday.
Analysis: The speedster made a picturesque touchdown grab in the back right corner of the end zone with 4:41 remaining in the third quarter to extend the Ravens' lead to 28-20 at the time. The 2020 third-round pick has secured all eight targets he's seen this season, and Sunday's score allowed him to establish a new career high with three touchdowns overall. Duvernay's speed may be especially valuable in a Week 4 showdown against the Bills that could heavily involve both teams' air attacks.

Duvernay (concussion) was a limited participant in practice Thursday.
Analysis: It's a good sign that Duvernay was able to practice Thursday, but without knowing how limited he was it's difficult to know whether his Thursday practice indicates anything with certainty. He needs to clear the NFL's concussion protocol, and until he does practice developments can only be read into so much. If Duvernay is unable to play against New England on Sunday then it might require Demarcus Robinson to step in as the second receiver behind Rashod Bateman.

Analysis: Prior to his exit from the contest, Duvernay caught both of his targets for 42 yards and returned a kickoff for a 103-yard touchdown. The wideout will now look to progress through the NFL's concussion protocol ahead of next weekend's contest against the Patriots.

Finds end zone twice in Week 1 win
Duvernay caught all four of his targets for 54 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 24-9 win over the Jets.
Analysis: Duvernay gave the Ravens a 10-0 lead with a 25-yard touchdown in the second quarter. The speedster made a nice play down the sideline, showing that he's a capable candidate to step into the traded Marquise Brown's shoes as Lamar Jackson's preferred deep threat. Duvernay later extended Baltimore's lead to 17-3 with a 17-yard touchdown, this time scoring over the middle. Mostly available outside of deeper fantasy formats, Duvernay should be a popular waiver pickup ahead of the Ravens' Week 2 home…read more

Resumes practicing
Duvernay (knee) returned to practice Tuesday, Jonas Shaffer of the Baltimore Sun reports.
Analysis: Duvernay was sidelined during the preseason but has plenty of time to work his way back into game shape before Baltimore's Sept. 11 season opener against the Jets. He's the leading candidate to start at wide receiver opposite Rashod Bateman while also serving as the Ravens' top return man on special teams.

Not in line to play Thursday
Duvernay is unlikely to play in Thursday's preseason game against the Titans, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Duvernay missed some time in the middle of training camp due to a thigh bruise, the result of a collision with safety Chuck Clark. The third-year wide receiver returned to the practice field this past Saturday, but the Ravens won't take any chances with their likely No. 2 option at the position this season.

Returns to camp
Duvernay (thigh) returned to practice Saturday, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Analysis: A collision with safety Chuck Clark had Duvernay on the mend for a week, but he luckily avoided a serious injury and finally made it back on the field after the team chose to be cautious with its No. 2 wide receiver. Fellow wideout Rashod Bateman is also dealing with an undisclosed injury, so Duvernay's return is a sigh of relief for the Ravens, who are already thin at the position after the departures of Marquise Brown and Sammy Watkins in the offseason.

Approaching return to practice
Coach John Harbaugh said Friday that Duvernay (thigh) is closing in on a return to practice, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Duvernay has been tending to a bruised thigh since colliding with safety Chuck Clark in practice Saturday. Harbaugh noted Duvernay likely could have got back on the field by Friday, but the team instead exercised caution so as not to press the issue in advance of exhibition season. At the same time, Harbaugh relayed to Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com that Rashod Bateman didn't practice Friday due to a minor undisclosed injury, meaning the Ravens' top two wide receivers are unavailable at the moment.

Dealing with thigh bruise
Duvernay missed a third straight practice Wednesday due to a thigh bruise, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The injury doesn't sound serious, but every missed day of practice counts for a third-year player fighting for a role behind Rashod Bateman in the youngest receiving corps in the league. A lot of Baltimore's offseason moves point to more heavy formations and run plays in 2022, but the team still needs at least one wideout to step up behind Bateman as a functional starter. Duvernay, James Proche and Tylan Wallace are seemingly the top candidates for the second and third spots.

Avoids serious injury
Duvernay avoided a serious injury after colliding with Chuck Clark during Saturday's training camp practice, Clifton Brown of the Ravens' official website reports.
Analysis: Coach John Harbaugh said that Duvernay suffered a thigh bruise, and while the wideout sat out the rest of practice, he could've resumed action if necessary. "He hit his thigh, so good news, nothing serious there," Harbaugh said. The 2020 third-round pick faces a real opportunity to earn a more prolific role on offense heading into his third NFL season, especially after Baltimore's trade of Marquise Brown to Arizona and Sammy Watkins' departure to Green Bay.

Aiming for starting role
Duvernay hopes to earn a starting role in Baltimore's offense when training camp begins, Clifton Brown of the Ravens' official site reports.
Analysis: Duvernay is facing a real opportunity to earn a more prolific role on offense heading into his third NFL season, especially following Baltimore's trade of Marquise Brown to Arizona and with Sammy Watkins now in Green Bay. The expectation is that 2021 first-round pick Rashod Bateman will step up as the Ravens' top wideout, but Duvernay could be a candidate for the No. 2 gig.

Earns All-Pro honors as returner
Duvernay finished the season with 33 catches for 272 yards and two touchdowns on 47 targets. He was also was voted to the first-team All-Pro team as a punt returner, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Analysis: The second-year player out of Texas made his biggest impact in the return game as he finished second in the league in punt return yards and led the NFL in punt returns of 20-or-more yards with six. In terms of his role on offense, Duvernay consistently played over a third of the snaps but never played more than 50 percent of the snaps in any game. Baltimore deployed Duvernay on short routes for the most part, as evidenced by his 6.2 aDOT. He was efficient with those looks, catching 70 percent…read more

Questionable for Week 18
Duvernay (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Steelers, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Duvernay logged a full practice Friday, so he will likely be available for the regular season finale. The second-year wideout has operated as Baltimore's primary punt returner this season, but he also has recorded multiple receptions in four straight games. If he's unable to suit up, James Proche would likely handle the majority of Duvernay's duties on special teams and on offense.

Two grabs in return
Duvernay caught two of three targets for 19 yards against the Rams and added a four-yard carry.
Analysis: The second-year man out of Texas returned from a one-game absence and played 42 percent of Baltimore's offensive snaps. He has recorded over 20 receiving yards just once in his last four games and has not scored a touchdown since Week 9. Through 15 games, Duvernay has impressed in some areas and disappointed in others. He has a strong catch rate at 70 percent with zero drops, but his YPT is down to 5.8 from 7.7 as a rookie despite having almost identical aDOT (6.2 in 2021, 6.3 in 2020), and his…read more

Duvernay (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Rams.
Analysis: Though Baltimore listed Duvernay as questionable heading into Sunday, he cleared up most of the concern about his health by practicing fully Friday. He'll likely serve as the Ravens' No. 4 receiver moving forward, as Sammy Watkins should be ready to handle a greater role after being limited to just three snaps in last week's loss to the Bengals in his first game back from the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Duvernay (ankle) was a full practice participant Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams.
Analysis: Duvneray's full participation in practice suggests he's on track to play this weekend, likely resuming his role as Baltimore's slot receiver and return specialist. There's not much upside for Duvernay's target volume if Marquise Brown (illness), Rashod Bateman and Sammy Watkins all play, but Brown is listed as questionable and appears in more danger than Duvernay of missing the game. It's also unclear if starting quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) will play.

Duvernay (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Analysis: The slot receiver missed every practice last week and was listed as doubtful before he was ultimately inactive in Baltimore's loss to Cincinnati. Coming off his first absence of the season, Duvernay isn't looking great to make it back for Week 16. He's averaging only 2.2 catches for 18.1 yards per game, but he leads the NFL with 360 punt return yards, and he also handles kickoffs most of the time. Last week, James Proche and Tylan Wallace took on return duties for Baltimore.

Still not practicing Thursday
Duvernay (ankle) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Both Duvernay and quarterback Lamar Jackson have kicked off the week with consecutive absences due to their respective injuries. The latter's status is more significant, but Duvernay's absence would be nothing to sneeze at considering he's a Pro Bowl return man on special teams and provides depth at wide receiver. James Proche would likely take Duvernay's spot on special teams if the 2020 third-round pick can't go Sunday in Cincinnati.

Dealing with ankle injury
Coach John Harbaugh said Monday that Duvernay is considered day-to-day with an ankle injury, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Duvernay's snap count decreased in Sunday's loss to the Packers, and his ankle injury provides an explanation for his lack of playing time. The Ravens presumably will monitor his status in practice this week before determining his availability for Sunday's game against Cincinnati. If Duvernay is unable to play Week 16, Miles Boykin and James Proche could see an uptick in playing time.

His snap count decreased significantly on offense, dropping from 47 to 22. In fact, this was Duvernay's lowest offensive snap count of the entire season.

Held to two catches
Duvernay caught two of five targets for 14 yards Sunday against the Browns and added a three-yard carry.
Analysis: Baltimore stuck with the passing game despite Lamar Jackson leaving the game with injury, but Duvernay still did not make a major impact on the box score. He played 68 percent of the offensive snaps, which marked his highest percentage since Week 5 and drew his second-highest target count of the year. Duvernay appears to have a locked-in role in terms of playing time, but he has yet to convert those snaps into consistent receiving production.

Duvernay had two catches for 21 yards on three targets Sunday against Pittsburgh.
Analysis: The second-year man also had an eight-yard rush wiped out by a penalty. Duvernay played the second-most snaps among Baltimore receivers, out-snapping Sammy Watkins and Rashod Bateman by 10 and 11 snaps, respectively. Still, he only saw three targets, which ranked fifth on the team. Duvernay continues to see consistent playing time, but his target volume tends to stay below five most weeks. Baltimore travels to Cleveland in Week 14.

Quiet in win
Duvernay caught one of two targets for two yards and added one carry for the 13 yards in Sunday's 16-10 win over the Browns.
Analysis: Duvernay continued to have a limited role of offense with Marquise Brown back in the lineup following a one-game absence. The 24-year-old wideout was on the field for 35 offensive snaps, with his total matching Sammy Watkins and being just one fewer than rookie Rashod Bateman. With so many mouths to feed in Baltimore, Duvernay can't be trusted for fantasy purposes.

The 2020 third-rounder is coming off a four-catch, 28-yard effort (to go along with one carry for 19 yards) in Baltimore's 22-10 loss to the Dolphins in Week 10.

In any case, the Ravens weren't discouraged enough by Duvernay's knee issue to rule him out for Sunday's contest, so he'll still have a chance to avoid the inactive list.

Duvernay caught all four of his targets for 28 yards and added a 19-yard carry in the loss to the Dolphins.
Analysis: The second-year wideout actually saw his playing time increase to 60 percent despite Sammy Watkins' return from a thigh injury. Duvernay caught everything thrown his way and showed some explosiveness on his 19-yard run. He has seen four or more targets just three times this season, and Watkins' return could ultimately impact Duvernay's role in the passing game. The Ravens head to Chicago to face the Bears on Sunday.

Should maintain top-three WR role
Duvernay is expected to retain a top-three spot at receiver for the Ravens in Sunday's game against the Vikings, joining Marquise Brown and Rashod Bateman, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Analysis: With Sammy Watkins (thigh) inactive for the third game in a row, Duvernay looks like he'll be the main beneficiary for added playing time, though he can't necessarily be counted on to take on meaningful volume in the passing game. Over the last two games Watkins has missed, Duvernay has produced an underwhelming 3-26-0 receiving line on four targets while carrying twice for nine yards.

Duvernay caught his lone target for 11 yards and added a rush that lost two yards Sunday against the Bengals.
Analysis: Marquise Brown (63) and Rashod Bateman (46) paced the Baltimore receivers in snaps while Duvernay hovered around 30 snaps for the sixth time this season. Duvernay saw just one target, his lowest mark since Week 2. His primary impact right now is in the return game. Baltimore is on a bye, and Sammy Watkins (hamstring) could return thereafter, which complicates Duvernay's offensive playing time path even further.

Analysis: Duvernay played 87 percent of the offensive snaps in Week 5 and saw his playing time dwindle to 50 percent Sunday, which is in line with his season average and makes the Indianapolis game look like an outlier. He is up to 12 catches for 119 yards and a score on 19 targets this season, and now that Rashod Bateman is healthy, Duvernay may have a difficult time playing more than 50 percent of the snaps on a given week.

Duvernay has five targets through three games, on which he has recorded three catches for 28 yards and a touchdown. He's playing the third-most receiver snaps behind Sammy Watkins and Marquise Brown.

Analysis: As is fellow wideout Marquise Brown (ankle), a context that makes it tough to count on Duvernay for a high-volume role in Week 2, with Sammy Watkins also in the mix.

Duvernay (groin) remained limited in practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
Analysis: If he suits up, Duvernay could see some extra attention from quarterback Lamar Jackson since fellow wide receiver Marquise Brown (ankle) is also questionable. Since the Ravens don't play until Sunday night, those who want to roll the dice on Duvernay -- who was limited both Thursday and Friday -- in fantasy should keep in mind that pickings will be slim as far as replacement options go.

Duvernay caught four of five target for 47 yards in Saturday's preseason game against Washington.
Analysis: He saw an incomplete pass on Lamar Jackson's only drive before going 4-for-4 with a red-hot Tyler Huntley at the helm. Duvernay seemingly entered training camp fourth or fifth on the depth chart, but with Rashod Bateman sidelined by core muscle surgery and Marquise Brown and Sammy Watkins dealing with lesser injuries, the 2020 third-round pick could be second or third in line for targets when the Ravens travel to Las Vegas in Week 1.

Uneven performance Saturday
Duvernay recorded one catch (on three targets) for five yards during Saturday's preseason victory at Carolina.
Analysis: Tyler Huntley got the start for franchise quarterback Lamar Jackson, and the former's first pass was intended for Duvernay with the top wide receiver trio of Marquise Brown (hamstring), Sammy Watkins (undisclosed) and Rashod Bateman (groin) sidelined. The aforementioned pass was picked, though, and Duvernay's other two targets were a short incompletion and a five-yard reception. He hasn't exactly put himself on the map to get meaningful playing time over Brown, Watkins and Bateman when all of…read more

Six targets in preseason opener
Duvernay caught four of six targets for 28 yards in Saturday's 17-14 preseason win over New Orleans.
Analysis: With Baltimore's receiving corps decimated by injuries, Duvernay worked as the primary target for Trace McSorley (back), who started under center with Lamar Jackson sitting out but exited at halftime with back spasms. Duvernay tied for the team lead in targets and should play a prominent role in Week 2 of the preseason against the Panthers. The 2020 third-round pick's speed makes him an effective return man on special teams, but Duvernay's trying to translate his open-field ability into more…read more

Shows flashes as rookie
Duvernay had 20 catches for 201 yards on 26 targets and added four rushes for 70 yards as a rookie. He also ran one kick back for a touchdown.
Analysis: The rookie out of Texas was impressive on a per-target basis but consistent playing time was hard to come by. Duvernay finally cracked the receiver rotation after the Week 7 bye, averaging a 52 percent snap share over his next six games. He caught nine of 12 targets for 111 yards in that stretch but his snaps and production fell off a cliff down the stretch with one catch for no gain over his final four games. Looking long-term, this was not a disappointing season for Duvernay and there is…read more

Two touches in win
Duvernay caught his lone target for no gain and rushed once for seven yards in Sunday's 27-13 win over the Giants. He also returned two punts for 36 yards and two kicks for 39 yards.
Analysis: Duvernay took over as the primary punt returner and immediately showed promise, recording returns of 23 and 13 yards. However, the rookie third-rounder continues to stay out of the offensive game plan, as he's recorded just six receptions for 27 yards over the last six contests.

Minimally involved Sunday
Durvernay wasn't targeted during Sunday's 40-14 win over the Jaguars.
Analysis: The 23-year-old played only four offensive snaps as his role continues to diminish in Baltimore's offense. Duvernay played 75-plus percent of the offensive snaps Weeks 12 and 13, but he's barely been on the field the past two weeks.

Role drops off Monday
Duvernay was not targeted on nine offensive snaps Monday against the Browns.
Analysis: The rookie was hardly involved Monday after seeing his snap shares tick up dramatically in recent weeks. Duvernay had played at least 41 snaps in each of his last two games before Monday's outing. The dropoff coincides with Willie Snead's return from the reserve/COVID-19 list. Duvernay could be looking at a minimal role in the offense down the stretch now that Snead is healthy.

Draws just one target in Week 13
Duvernay had a two-yard reception on one target in Tuesday's win over the Cowboys.
Analysis: The rookie played a heavy percentage of the snaps -- 80 percent, 44 snaps overall -- but the production lagged behind on Tuesday. In fairness, Baltimore attempted just 17 passes all game, but Duvernay still saw just one target on a night where he played nearly every snap and Dez Bryant was out. In all, Duvernay has now played more than 50 percent of the snaps in three of his last four games, and has played over 75 percent of the snaps in the last two games. Duvernay's role is starting to…read more

Second-leading receiver in loss
Duvernay secured all three targets for 20 yards and returned two kickoffs for 44 yards in the Ravens' 19-14 loss to the Steelers on Wednesday.
Analysis: The rookie third-round pick put together his second three-catch outing of the last three games, which was good enough to place him second in both receptions and yardage for Baltimore. Duvernay has yet to top three grabs or 45 receiving yards in any contest, but he's seen double-digit snaps from scrimmage in eight consecutive contests while also continuing to hold down primary kick-return duties. Duvernay will hope to reconnect with Lamar Jackson (reserve/COVID-19 list) for a favorable matchup…read more

Snags just one pass Sunday
Duvernay was targeted twice and caught a five-yard pass in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Titans.
Analysis: Duvernay started off Week 11 with an impressive 37-yard kick return, and he added a short reception on the second drive of the game. He received his second target of the game late in the third quarter on a deep pass from Lamar Jackson. Duvernay failed to track it, though, and Amani Hooker ended up intercepting the pass. While the rookie third-round pick has shown flashes this year, his fantasy value remains low with no touchdowns and no games with more than 45 receiving yards.

Starting to make impact
Duvernay caught all three of his targets for 45 yards Sunday against the Patriots.
Analysis: The rookie is quietly coming along and getting more involved in the offense. Duvernay played his highest snap share of the season Sunday (55 percent) and has played 99 snaps in three games since the bye compared to Miles Boykin's 75. The rookie is mostly being used on the left side of the formation, mixing between outside and slot duties. Duvernay faces a shaky Tennessee secondary on Sunday.

Barely involved in win over Colts
Duvernay lost a yard on his only carry during Sunday's 24-10 win over Indianapolis.
Analysis: For the first time in his career, Duvernay failed to draw a target while Baltimore leaned heavily on his rushing attack. The rookie third-round pick was listed as questionable with a thigh injury before suiting up, and he did still contribute on kick returns, so it's possible that the Ravens were simply trying to preserve Duvernay's health by lessening his workload. He'll look to get back on track Week 10 against the Patriots.

Suits up Sunday
Duvernay (thigh) is listed as active Sunday against the Colts.
Analysis: Duvernay's out there if you need him, but so far the 2020 third-rounder hasn't had steady volume in the Baltimore passing offense, a context that has yielded the 5-foot-11, 200-pounder an 11/129/0 stat line through seven games. In the Ravens' Week 8 loss to the Steelers, Duvernay's lone catch (on three targets) went for a 39-yard gain.

Picks up thigh injury
Duvernay was limited in practice Friday due to a thigh injury and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Duvernay has been a source of big plays for the Ravens recently, but he's thus far gotten by on limited volume, as he hasn't topped three targets in any game this season. Given that he didn't appear on the Ravens' first two injury reports of the week, Duvernay may have hurt his thigh at some point during Friday's practice. Clarity on Duvernay's Week 9 status will arrive when the team releases its inactive list approximately 90 minutes before Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Makes big play against Steelers
Duvernay caught one of three targets for 39 yards against the Steelers.
Analysis: The rookie was responsible for Baltimore's longest play from scrimmage -- a 39-yarder to help put the Ravens in scoring position. Duvernay may start becoming a bigger part of this offense, too. Miles Boykin continues to see his snap share decline while Duvernay played 37 snaps -- good for a 45 percent snap share -- that represented a career-high. Duvernay and the Ravens face the Colts in Indianapolis on Sunday.

Nabs all three targets
Duvernay caught all three of his targets for 31 yards Sunday against the Eagles.
Analysis: The rookie continues to make the most of his opportunities, having caught 10 of his 12 targets for 90 yards through six games. His snap count ticked up Sunday as well, seeing 26 snaps for 36 percent of the Ravens' total offensive plays. Sunday marked the highest snap count of Duvernay's young career by eight plays. The Ravens are on a bye Week 7, and it would not be surprising to see them try to get the rookie more involved when they return to action.

Posts 59 yards from scrimmage
Duvernay caught both of his targets for 17 yards and added a 42-yard rush Sunday against the Bengals.
Analysis: The rookie showed his explosiveness on an end-around that went 42 yards, but that was his lone splash play of the day. Baltimore's passing game couldn't get in gear otherwise with just 19 completions for 180 yards, so Duvernay's lack of output in that facet of the game wasn't necessarily his fault. His speed will keep him a part of the game plan, but Duvernay still is struggling to carve out significant snap counts as he played just 29 percent of them Sunday. He will face the Eagles in Week 6.

Plays season high in snaps
Duvernay caught one of two targets for four yards Sunday against the Football Team.
Analysis: The rookie's fantasy output was minimal, but it's worth noting that he played a season-high 16 snaps. Meanwhile, Miles Boykin played a season-low 54 percent of the snaps -- 31 total -- and drew four targets. Duvernay isn't positioned to overtake Boykin just yet, but Boykin's struggles in drawing targets relative to his high snap count may open the door for the rookie to show what he can do. Still, Duvernay would only be a speculative add in deep redraft leagues at this stage until he carves out…read more

Scores TD on kick return
Duvernay caught two of three targets for seven yards and totaled 119 yards and a touchdown on two kickoff returns in Monday's 34-20 loss to the Chiefs.
Analysis: Duvernay had more kickoff return yards than Lamar Jackson had passing yards, and the rookie speedster's 93-yard kickoff return touchdown in the second quarter was Baltimore's only first-half touchdown. While Duvernay's involvement on offense is limited, he's carving out value in leagues that reward return yardage.

Snags another pass Week 2
Duvernay caught his lone target for a 19-yard gain during Sunday's 33-16 win against the Texans.
Analysis: On an afternoon in which the Ravens attempted only 24 passes and ran the ball 37 times, target distribution leveled off behind the top two options Marquise Brown (six) and Miles Boykin (five), as Baltimore's other seven pass-catchers all garnered between one and three targets from Lamar Jackson. The fact that Duvernay is in the mix is encouraging, as he was one of four Ravens wide receivers to get thrown to in the contest, though he only played nine percent of the offensive snaps. Barring an…read more

Makes catch in debut
Duvernay caught his lone target for a 12-yard gain Sunday against the Browns.
Analysis: The rookie got involved early, making his first and only catch on Baltimore's opening possession, and his reception helped set up a touchdown. Duvernay wasn't a factor the rest of the way, though, as he ended up with just 11 total snaps and no other targets. He has his work cut out for him in terms of moving past either Willie Snead or Miles Boykin for snaps.

Training with RG3, Proche
Duvernay and fellow Ravens rookie James Proche have been catching passes from Robert Griffin while training in Texas with wideout specialist David Robinson, Todd Karpovich of SI.com reports.
Analysis: Robinson is a popular offseason trainer among NFL wide receivers, working with Dez Bryant, Jakeem Grant and Jerry Jeudy, among others. Robinson believes both Duvernay (a third-round pick) and Proche (a sixth-rounder) are capable of earning significant roles for the Ravens, noting that the former should be useful on deep throws, screens and jet sweeps, while the latter has superior hands that could make him a reliable possession target. Duvernay primarily worked from the slot at the University…read more
