Week 16 at Jacksonville
Walker had a team-high six receptions last week and added 55 yards receiving. His workload alone makes him a top TE prospect each week. Jacksonville's stingy to opposing tight ends, but Walker isn't just any tight end. He had four receptions for 75 yards the first time around against the Jaguars and should be good enough to use as a TE1 this week, as well.
Week 15 at Kansas City
Walker managed just two catches for 30 yards last week, but that was nearly half of Tennessee's passing output. Kansas City allows just over 40 yards receiving to tight ends this season. They've been much easier to throw on to receivers. But Walker's one of the best tight ends going. He'll be somewhat limited but not enough to keep on your bench.
Week 14 vs. Denver
Walker went into the bye week with five touchdown catches in his past eight games and remains one of the top tight ends in the league. But the Broncos have given up just two TE touchdown catches all season and allow 52 yards per game to the position. Again, Walker is better than most, so he could surpass that yardage total, but getting into the end zone will be a chore. He's not the top start he usually is, but he'll still outperform all but a handful of tight ends.
Week 12 at Chicago
Walker was limited to 36 yards last week on four catches but has at least four catches in six of his last seven games. He's a threat for a big game every week, one of the few this season at the tight end position. Chicago has been tough overall against the position but did allow a line of 9-101-1 two weeks ago to Tampa Bay's tight ends. Walker is more talented than any TE on Tampa Bay's roster. He's a must start in all formats.
Week 11 at Indianapolis
Walker had a season-best line of 9-124-1 last week and is coming on strong as Marcus Mariota is quickly becoming a very dangerous QB. Walker's previous best game this season came a few weeks ago against Indianapolis with 7-84-1 as the Colts have been one of the worst TE defenses in the league. With Gronk sitting out this week, Walker just might be the No. 1 play in fantasy football this week.
Week 10 vs Green Bay
Walker hauled in five catches for 42 yards and a touchdown last week for a solid effort. He's still a big part of the passing game, though it hasn't been quite as much as last season. Walker does have a nice matchup this week with Green Bay. The Packers have allowed 14 receptions for 143 yards to tight ends in the past two games. Walker is a decent, not great, start this week.
Week 9 at San Diego
Walker got just five targets last week, but that matched the team high in a blowout win against Jacksonville. He has at least four receptions and 66 yards in three of his past four games after missing some time, so feel to use him as a TE No. 1 moving forward. San Diego has allowed some big tight end games this season, especially to more talented tight ends and Walker definitely qualifies as that.
Week 8 vs. Jacksonville
Walker had his most productive day of the season, catching seven passes for 84 yards and a score on eight targets. He's got a tough matchup this week, however, against a Jacksonville defense that has not allowed more than six receptions or 48 yards to the tight end position. Jacksonville also has given up just one tight end score. Walker isn't most tight ends though, and he had two eight-catch games against Jacksonville last season. As usual, he's a solid TE play.
Week 7 vs. Indianapolis
Walker had a disappointing week, catching just one pass for 21 yards last week as Marcus Mariota looked elsewhere. But Indianapolis just allowed nine TE catches for 116 yards and a score last week. Walker is better than any tight end on Houston's roster and should have plenty of room to work this week. He should bounce back as a solid tight end play.
Week 6 vs. Cleveland
Walker could very well turn out to be the best TE play in fantasy this week, given Cleveland's terrible play against opposing tight ends. He seems to be over his injury issues and had five catches for 66 yards and his second touchdown last week. Cleveland has given up double digit receptions to opposing tight ends three times already this season and five TE touchdowns, all in the past two games. Walker is a strong, strong play this week.
