Young WR with proof and a long runway.

DVS is our model view, scored on Engine-default half-PPR — not a guaranteed price in your league. Bye weeks and schedule strength are left out on purpose.

Quick answer

Hold

Baker caught 1 pass for 12 yards in 2024, finishing WR199. He scored about 77% less than his touches said he should. Played a short 2024 (6 games) — health is the nearer question than talent. The 2026 projection is cautious — wait for a real role change before paying up. This reads as a hold — nothing in the recent signal pushes it toward a buy or a sell.
