Should I Start Devin Duvernay In Week 6?
Devin Duvernay caught five of seven targets for 54 yards and added 24 rushing yards on three carries against the Bengals in Week 4 in his first game without teammate Rashod Bateman. He led the Ravens in targets for the second straight week and continues to be a vital part of the Ravens' offense.
BAL: Duvernay will continue to have a growing role
Devin Duvernay opened up the szn w/ a solid 21.4 fantasy pts due to 2 TDs
Over 10 fantasy pts in 3 other weeks. W/ no Rashod Bateman he saw 7 targets after 5 last week
He has more appeal if Bateman misses another 1

Devin Duvernay makes a ridiculous play every single week
The Ravens made sure Devin Duvernay touched the ball three times on their opening drive
He's also leading all WRs in EPA per target

Duvernay has been an explosive weapon for the Ravens and should post solid numbers for fantasy managers in Week 6 against the New York Giants. Depending on your other options, Duvernay is 42nd in the latest Rotoball PPR rankings among wide receivers, making him a solid flex/WR3 option against the Giants.
Devin Duvernay: Fantasy Football Outlook
Duvernay has 17 catches on 20 targets for 223 yards and three touchdowns over five weeks in 2022. He is in a plus matchup against Giants' defense that ranks 24th in DVOA against the opposing team's WR1. He has recorded at least 50 receiving yards in three of five games in 2022. Duvernay has at least five 20-plus yard receptions downfield, with only Tyreek Hill and Chris Olave having more.

Duvernay is a solid flex/WR3 option and should lead the Ravens in receiving against the Giants. New York's defense only allows 194.4 passing yards per game but ranks 31st in pass DVOA. The Giants' defense has struggled against opposing WR1s (24th in DVOA) and tight ends (25h in DVOA) this season. Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson will look to bounce back in Week 6 after a lackluster performance in last Sunday's win over the Bengals. Duvernay is set up to succeed in Week 6 and should be considered in most fantasy managers starting lineups for Week 6.
Devin Duvernay continues to be electric. #RavensFlock
