Ravens' WR Devontez Walker is an automatic touchdown, but will his snaps go up?

Devontez Walker, early in his NFL career, is the surest thing there is.

The Baltimore Ravens' wide receiver has three career catches. And he has three career receiving touchdowns.

That's right: All three of his NFL catches have gone for TDs.

Wouldn't you throw to that guy more?

"In Sunday's win, Walker connected with Lamar Jackson on touchdown passes of two and 24 yards, respectively, to continue an impressive trend," ESPN's Jamison Hensley wrote.

Walker was a fourth-round pick a season ago who has yet to find a real way to break through in the Baltimore receiving corps.

It's not an easy situation, of course. A run-heavy offense that likes using tight ends and fullbacks also already has two established receivers in Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman, and then the Ravens signed veteran DeAndre Hopkins this offseason.

But Walker can clearly play, and he saw a slight positive in usage on Sunday, getting 13 offensive snaps.

That was less than half of Tylan Wallace's snap total (27), though, and Wallace also caught a TD.

Hopkins played just nine snaps but had two big catches.

Walker will likely not be a high-volume guy for a while, but he'll make plays. So far, that's all he's done in the NFL is make scoring plays.
