Delanie Walker misses practice on Thursday, fantasy start far from guaranteed

Fantasy Impact: Walker is considered one of the toughest players in the NFL, so if he can play against the Cleveland Browns this Sunday, he will. He seems to have developed good chemistry with quarterback Marcus Mariota. Even though he was only targeted three times last week, he caught all of those passes and found his way into the end zone for a score.
Fantasy owners should be aware by now that Walker is a serviceable starter in deeper leagues. Should he not be able to play on Sunday, Anthony Fasano would be next in line to take his place. Fasano gets used as a streaming tight end once in a blue moon in deep leagues, but at this point in his career he's not even worth having on a roster.
