Tennessee Titans tight end Delanie Walker (shoulder) did not practice with the team on Wednesday, according to Jim Wyatt of The Tennessean. Walker's status will be reevaluated when the team practices on Thursday.
Delanie Walker sits out practice Wednesday, fantasy status uncertain this week
The Titans’ tight end sustained an injury in the team’s Week 3 loss to the Bengals. We break down the fantasy implications.

Fantasy Impact: Walker was the only Titans pass-catcher who was able to get anything going against the Cincinnati Bengals last week. Through three weeks thus far, he's been the team's most reliable receiver. That said, he only has a single touchdown for his efforts so far.
If Walker is unable to go against the Indianapolis Colts this week, Craig Stevens will fill in for him. In 91 career games with the Titans, Stevens has been targeted just 81 times. With those kind of numbers it's safe to say he's more of a blocking tight end rather than a fantasy star in the making.
Fantasy owners are advised to wait until at least Thursday before dropping Walker. Those looking to see a spike in immediate value from a Titans player should be looking at receiver Kendall Wright rather than a tight end.
