With veteran Pro Bowl wide receiver Diontae Johnson suspended for the Baltimore Ravens’ Week 15 interconference matchup with the New York Giants fresh off a bye week, it meant rookie Devontez Walker would potentially have more opportunities to contribute on offense on Sunday.
The fourth-rounder was a healthy scratch for the first six games of the regular season and in his previous five appearances, he predominantly played on special teams and wasn’t targeted on any of his six offensive snaps. All that changed on the Ravens’ first drive coming out of halftime when they extended their lead over the Giants to three scores after Walker hauled in a 21-yard pass from quarterback Lamar Jackson in the back of the endzone.
