Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Devin Duvernay is far from a fantasy superstar, but he has four finishes inside the top 40 weekly fantasy wideouts this season, so his injury status matters in at least deep leagues.
Additionally, his status could affect either Lamar Jackson or Tyler Huntley, as he's arguably the best wide receiver on the Ravens' roster since Rashod Bateman (foot) was lost early in the season.
Is Duvernay out for the season? If so, how will his absence affect others in fantasy football? Let's find out.

Devin Duvernay Injury Update for Fantasy Football
Duvernay (foot) suffered a broken bone in his foot during practice on Tuesday and was placed on season-ending Injured Reserve, according to a source. Duvernay faces a recovery timetable of about two months and should make a full recovery for the 2023 season.
The 25-year-old speedster had a career-high 407 receiving yards and found the end zone three times on 37 receptions in 14 games, but it was a disappointing effort considering he was the No. 1 WR after Bateman's injury. Ultimately, Duvernay fell off the fantasy radar in traditional leagues, but in deeper redraft leagues, he can be safely dropped.
Devin Duvernay Injury Fallout
The Ravens were already thin at the position before Duvernay's injury, and now they'll be working with Demarcus Robinson, DeSean Jackson, and James Proche II as their top wideouts. They also claimed veteran Sammy Watkins off waivers on Tuesday. Robinson should be the most steady of the bunch for fantasy purposes the rest of the way.
That said, Huntley has proven to be an ineffective passer this season, so Robinson's upside will be limited in a low-volume passing offense. If Jackson can return before the fantasy football playoffs conclude, he could have a little bit more value, though.
Fantasy managers should be exhausting all options on the waiver wire, so Robinson is at least worth considering as one of the lone decent receivers for Baltimore.
