Tylan Wallace

Wallace gets late 4th round draft capital, which is around what I expected, but he lands in a terrible spot for fantasy football. Wallace is now stuck as a bench receiver on this roster to start, but he certainly could work his way up the depth chart. For how much Baltimore runs the ball and values blocking from their receivers, this selection doesn't exactly make the most sense, but it simply could be a way of Baltimore taking the Best Available Player on the board. We might be stuck waiting a while for Wallace to have enough work to be fantasy football relevant.

Tylan Wallace selected No. 131 by Baltimore Ravens

The Baltimore Ravens have selected WR Tylan Wallace with the No. 131 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.

Fantasy Impact

The Ravens continue to select receivers in the draft, adding Oklahoma State WR Tylan Wallace after targeting Minnesota WR Rashod Bateman in the first round. QB Lamar Jackson experienced regression with his passing last season after winning league MVP in 2019, so the addition of a big-play speedster like Wallace will help open up the offense. Expect the Ravens to use the 185-pound Wallace in pre-motion offensive schemes as well as on go routes to stretch the field vertically, allowing Lamar to face a less stacked box, which also adds value to RB J.K. Dobbins' fantasy outlook heading into the season.
