Fantasy impact: Walker had three catches for 43 yards and a touchdown in the season’s opening game. Although the output wasn’t much relative to the team’s 42 points in that game, he’s one of the few reliable passing options the Titans have.
Teammate Kendall Wright is the best bet to lead the passing attack on the outside, but given that the Titans don’t have much of a running game, Walker will be a safety valve for the team down the middle all year long. Fantasy football owners should look to add Walker if they’re really in need of an option. He hasn’t officially confirmed he’s playing but it looks like he’ll give it a go.
