Faces competition from rookies
Walker will face increased competition for touches after the Ravens drafted a pair of rookie wideouts in Ja'Kobi Lane (third round) and Elijah Sarratt (fourth round) in the 2026 NFL Draft, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Walker seemed like the top candidate for the No. 3 receiver role behind Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman (illness) prior to the 2026 NFL Draft, but the third-year pro may now need to impress in a competition this offseason in order to secure more than a situational role. Through his first two seasons in the league, Walker has hauled in only seven of 11 targets, but he's made an impact on those limited touches, with 157 receiving yards and three touchdowns. Rookie tight ends Matthew Hibner (fourth…read more

Impresses with limited opportunites
Walker had six catches for 136 yards and three touchdowns on eight targets across 12 regular-season games in 2025.
Analysis: Walker has a unique stat line through his first two seasons. He's had seven catches on 11 career targets, but those grabs have gone for 157 yards and three touchdowns. Five of his seven catches have gone for over 20 yards. Dating back to his rookie season, Walker's first three catches all went for touchdowns. While that efficiency is promising, it's difficult to take much away from seven catches in two seasons. Walker might still be a worthwhile target in deeper dynasty formats. DeAndre Hopkins…read more

Not targeted in win
Walker failed to record a single target in Sunday's 24-0 win over the Bengals.
Analysis: Walker was a complete nonfactor Sunday despite playing a season-high 61 percent snap share. The second-year wideout played 25 of the Ravens' 41 offensive snaps in the contest, the second most snaps among wide receivers behind only Zay Flowers (32). The spike in Walker's playing time came on a day when teammate Rashod Bateman (ankle) was inactive. Even so, the North Carolina product was unable to earn any opportunities against Cincinnati. Walker is not a consideration for fantasy purposes as the…read more

Not playing in Week 14
Walker (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Steelers.
Analysis: Though Walker didn't take an injury designation into Sunday after a groin issue limited his participation in a pair of practices this week, the second-year wideout will hit the inactive list for the first time since Week 10. The Ravens will go with DeAndre Hopkins, Tylan Wallace and LaJohntay Wester as their depth receivers behind starters Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman.

Cleared for Sunday
Walker (groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Steelers.
Analysis: Despite suffering a setback Thursday with his groin injury, Walker was a full participant in Friday's practice and was able to clear injury designation ahead of Sunday's divisional contest. The wide receiver logged two targets in last Thursday's loss to the Bengals but was unable to corral either.

Downgrades to limited Thursday
Walker (groin) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Walker downgraded to a limited participant Thursday after logging a full practice Wednesday. The diminishing participation indicates a setback and puts the wide receiver's chances of playing in Sunday's divisional matchup with the Steelers into question. The 24-year-old will have one more chance to upgrade his practice participation before the Ravens release their final Week 14 injury report.

Blanked on Thanksgiving Day
Walker did not record a catch on two targets during Baltimore's 32-14 loss to Cincinnati on Thursday.
Analysis: Walker played just 17 snaps on offense during Thursday's loss, with his decreased playing time corresponding with the return of Rashod Bateman from a two-game absence. Walker has caught one pass or less in seven of eight regular-season games, and both of his receiving touchdowns came in Week 2 against the Browns. The second-year wideout is unlikely to see consistent work in the Ravens' offense unless Bateman, Zay Flowers or DeAndre Hopkins were to miss time.

Makes most of lone target
Walker had a 30-yard reception on his lone target Sunday against the Jets.
Analysis: The second-year wideout saw a season-high 23 snaps as Baltimore looked to find a spark in Rashod Bateman's absence. Walker was only targeted once, but converted it into the Ravens' longest offensive play from scrimmage Sunday. He has caught all four of his targets this season for 90 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Walker's overall sample is too small to draw hard conclusions, but he has produced when called upon, dating back to his rookie season. Pending Bateman's status for Thursday's game…read more

Playing Sunday in Bateman's absence
Head coach John Harbaugh said Friday that Walker will dress Sunday against the Browns in the absence of Rashod Bateman (ankle), Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports.
Analysis: Walker hasn't played since Week 5, but Bateman's injury will give the 2024 fourth-round pick an opportunity to see the field Sunday. Walker figures to fill a depth role, though he scored two touchdowns against the Browns in Week 2.

Won't play Week 10
Walker (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against Minnesota.
Analysis: Walker will be a healthy scratch for a fourth consecutive week, and he's unlikely to play Week 11 against the Browns on Sunday, Nov. 16 unless the Ravens require depth at wide receiver. Baltimore will go with five active wide receivers in Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, DeAndre Hopkins, Tylan Wallace and LaJohntay Wester in Week 10.

Healthy scratch Week 9
Walker (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday's game against Miami.
Analysis: Walker will be a healthy scratch for a second consecutive week, which leaves Tylan Wallace and LaJohntay Wester as the Ravens' depth options at wide receiver behind Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman and DeAndre Hopkins. Walker's next chance to play is Week 10 against the Vikings on Sunday, Nov. 9.

Inactive for Week 8
Walker (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bears.
Analysis: Walker wasn't able to suit up for the Raven's last contest versus the Rams during Week 6 due to an oblique injury but is now clear of any injury designation. This season Walker has secured three targets for 60 yards and two touchdowns, with both scores coming against the Browns. The wide receiver will have to wait till Week 9 to keep building his case as a reliable depth option for the team.

Practices in full
Walker (oblique) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Walker wasn't able to suit up Week 6 against the Rams, but now coming off Baltimore's bye he appears back to full health. He figures to resume handling his usual depth role at wide receiver during Sunday's home game against the Bears. Across five regular-season appearances so far, Walker has secured all three of his targets for 60 yards and two touchdowns, with both scores having come Week 2 versus Cleveland.

Won't play against LAR
Walker (oblique) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams.
Analysis: Walker downgraded to a DNP for Friday's practice, and his oblique injury is severe enough for him to not play in Sunday's home game. Walker has served in a depth role at wide receiver and as a contributor on special teams this season, which makes Cornelius Johnson and Keith Kirkwood candidates to be elevated from the Ravens' practice squad to the active roster, especially if Zay Flowers (shoulder) is also ruled out.

DNP due to oblique Friday
Walker (oblique) isn't practicing Friday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Walker played through this oblique injury in the Week 5 loss to the Texans, but he continues to be bothered by the injury, and Friday's absence doesn't bode well for his availability Sunday against the Rams. Friday's injury report will reveal whether Walker has a chance to suit up Sunday.

Non-factor in blowout loss
Walker didn't play a snap on offense in Sunday's 44-10 loss to the Texans.
Analysis: All 14 of Walker's snaps came on special teams Week 5 while Baltimore went with Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, DeAndre Hopkins and Tylan Wallace as its options at receiver. Walker made a splash in Week 2 with two touchdown catches in a win over the Browns, but in the three games since, he's managed just one 34-yard reception on one target.

Active Sunday
Walker (oblique) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Texans.
Analysis: After logging a 'DNP' on Wednesday, Walker was limited Thursday and then turned in a full practice Friday, before heading into the weekend listed as questionable. With his active status confirmed, Walker will be among QB Cooper Rush's Week 5 receiving options, but with fellow WRs Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, DeAndre Hopkins and Tylan Wallace also on hand, Walker (who has a 3/60/2 receiving line through four games, with both scores occurring in Week 2) is a hit-or-miss fantasy lineup option.

Draws questionable tag for Week 5
Walker (oblique) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans.
Analysis: Walker popped up on Wednesday's practice report as a DNP due to an oblique injury. Even with the questionable tag, he was able to end the week on a strong note with a full practice Friday, which has him trending in the right direction for Sunday's AFC contest. Walker has three catches on as many targets for 60 yards and two touchdowns across four regular-season games.

Walker (oblique) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Walker is recovering from an oblique injury that he likely sustained in Week 4 against the Chiefs. He has opened the week with a DNP-LP practice log, and Friday's injury report will provide clarity on his chances of playing against the Texans on Sunday. The 2024 fourth-rounder has three catches on as many targets for 60 yards and two touchdowns through the first four games of the regular season.

DNP with oblique injury
Walker (oblique) did not practice Wednesday, Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Analysis: It's a new injury for Walker, who had his snaps cut in Week 4 against the Chiefs, as he played just four offensive snaps after having 20 total in Weeks 2 and 3. Walker is operating as a depth wideout and special teams player for the Ravens.

Not involved in loss
Walker failed to record a single target in Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Chiefs.
Analysis: Walker was not a part of the Ravens' offensive plans Sunday, as the wideout played just four of the team's 54 offensive snaps in the contest and was held without a target for the second time this season. Buried on Baltimore's wide receiver depth chart, the second-year wideout should continue to face an uphill battle for meaningful playing time. Barring injuries, Walker should not be trusted for fantasy purposes heading into a Week 5 matchup against the Texans.

Makes long reception Monday
Walker caught his lone target for a 34-yard gain in Monday's loss to the Lions.
Analysis: That catch marked the first reception of Walker's career that didn't result in a touchdown. Prior to Monday, all three of Walker's career receptions went for scores. Still, a 34-yard grab demonstrated Walker's downfield ability. Baltimore has a crowded target rotation with Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman and Mark Andrews eating up nearly two-thirds of the opportunities, and Isaiah Likely (foot) potentially close to his season debut. Walker's snap share may continue to remain on the lower end even…read more

Two catches, two touchdowns
Walker caught both of his targets for 26 yards and two touchdowns Sunday against the Browns.
Analysis: The second-year wideout has three career receptions, all of which have gone for touchdowns. That's efficiency. Walker played 13 snaps Sunday after not getting on the field on offense in the opener, with his first TD coming early in the third quarter when Lamar Jackson found him in the back of the end zone on fourth down. His second came early in the fourth quarter to put the Ravens up 27-20. Baltimore has a crowded receiver room, and it seems as though Walker, Tylan Wallace and DeAndre Hopkins…read more

Analysis: Walker played 21 snaps on special teams Sunday and was not a part of Baltimore's offensive plans against the Bills. The second-year wideout remains buried on the wide receiver depth chart behind Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, DeAndre Hopkins and Tylan Wallace.

Picks up 61 yards
Walker recorded six catches on eight targets for 61 yards in Saturday's 31-13 preseason win over the Cowboys.
Analysis: The Ravens sat all of their top skill-position players, setting Walker up to start. He continued to carry over the momentum generated by his strong practices during camp by delivering solid gains of 17, 14 and 11 yards Saturday. Both Walker's practice and game performances have likely pushed him off the roster bubble, and he may unofficially now be fourth on the wide receiver depth chart ahead of Tylan Wallace.

Looks good in joint practice
Walker made some impressive catches with the second-string offense during Tuesday's joint practice with the Colts, Giana Han and Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Banner report.
Analysis: After missing a few days with a soft-tissue injury, Walker is back in action and continuing his push for a depth role. Reports out of Baltimore camp suggest the 2024 fourth-round pick is having a nice summer, although he'll still have a hard time moving any higher than fourth on the depth chart before Week 1 -- behind Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman and DeAndre Hopkins.

Returns to practice
Walker (undisclosed) is practicing Sunday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Walker was held out of practice Saturday with what was deemed a soft-tissue injury, but the issue appears to have been minor. That's great news for Walker, who has had a good camp so far and is pushing for Baltimore's No. 4 wideout role behind Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman and DeAndre Hopkins. While Walker is in uniform Sunday, he's working off to the side and not taking part in team drills, per Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun, so he may need another day or two to get back to full participation.

Dealing with soft-tissue injury
Walker didn't practice Saturday due to a soft-tissue injury, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Walker has had a strong training camp and has emerged as a leading candidate to open the campaign as Baltimore's No. 4 receiver. It's not yet clear if he'll need to miss additional practices, but head coach John Harbaugh said Saturday that the wideout has put on "a lot of mileage" in camp, per Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun. Walker played in nine regular-season games as a rookie last year, recording one catch for a 21-yard touchdown while also contributing on special teams.

Leading candidate for WR4 job
Walker was Baltimore's most consistent wide receiver during spring practices and appears to be the frontrunner for the WR4 job, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Walker was a fourth-round pick in the 2024 Draft and saw just three targets across nine regular-season appearances as a rookie, catching one pass for a 21-yard touchdown. Walker played just 57 offensive snaps across those nine contests and was sixth amongst Baltimore's wideouts in targets. The Ravens signed DeAndre Hopkins in the offseason and kept Tylan Wallace with a one-year deal, but Hensley believes Walker is positioned to leap Wallace for the WR4 gig despite Wallace posting an 11-193-1…read more

Has minor offensive role as rookie
Walker made one catch on three targets for a 21-yard touchdown over nine regular-season games in 2024.
Analysis: Walker was a healthy scratch until making his NFL debut Week 7 against Tampa Bay. The highlight of his campaign was a 21-yard touchdown reception against the Giants for his first NFL catch in Week 15. The vast majority of Walker's work came on special teams, as he logged 153 snaps with that unit as opposed to 55 on offense. There is room for Walker to move up in the wideout pecking order in Baltimore, and he'll look to grow as an offensive contributor next season.

Grabs one ball Saturday
Walker (ribs) had one reception for five yards on two targets in Saturday's preseason finale.
Analysis: Walker returned from a minor rib injury that nagged the rookie wideout this preseason. The fourth-round pick out of North Carolina remains in pole position to nab one of the backup spots behind Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman and Nelson Agholor come Week 1. Walker will struggle to put up consistent fantasy numbers in that role out of the gates, but he has the size (6-foot-1, 191 pounds) plus a 4.36 40-yard time that are worth noting should playing time open up in the future.

Bothered by ribs
Coach John Harbaugh said Walker's lack of playing time in a preseason win over Atlanta on Saturday was related to a rib injury, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The rookie fourth-round pick has only one target and no receptions through two preseason games and doesn't seem to have gotten any snaps before halftime. This perhaps mitigates concern about Walker's progress, but it does seem he's headed for a lower spot on the depth chart to start the season, likely behind Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman and Nelson Agholor at the very least.

Quiet again
Walker wasn't targeted in Saturday's preseason game against Atlanta.
Analysis: Bo Smolka of PressBox notes that Walker appeared to play only a few snaps on offense, with Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reporting that the rookie got work covering a kickoff before appearing on offense. It's not looking good for an early-season role, as Walker was also nearly absent in Baltimore's preseason opener, finishing without a catch on a single late-game target. The fourth-round pick at least figures to have a roster spot, and the depth chart ahead of him is shaky beyond Zay Flowers.
