Week 13 vs. Jacksonville
Walker had six catches for 91 yards after banging Jacksonville for eight catches for 109 yards two weeks ago. He's a must-start tight end every week, especially against a Jacksonville defense that allowed nearly 75 yards per game to opposing tight ends. Keep rolling him out there.
Week 12 vs. Oakland
Walker had eight catches for 109 yards last week, a season-high for yards. He's the main cog in the Tennessee passing game and is a must-start every week. That's even more so the case this week against an Oakland pass defense that has given up 10 touchdown passes to opposing tight ends this season. Walker should tear the Raiders up.
Week 10 at Jacksonville
Walker's three catches for 52 yards was a down week for him, but made him the clubhouse leader again for the Titans, who struggled offensively against Carolina. Jacksonville's defense isn't nearly as stout and Walker has six consecutive games with 50 or more yards. The Jaguars allowed two TD catches by Baltimore's tight ends last week. Walker is a must-play at the position.
Week 10 vs. Carolina
After a seven-catch, 95-yard effort with two scores, Walker now has at least six catches in five of his past six games. Some of what he got last week was fluky, but who cares? He's a big part of Tennessee's offense. And Carolina hasn't been great against opposing tight ends this season, allowing three TD catches by opposing tight ends in the past two weeks. Walker should again be a solid start this week.
Week 9 at New Orleans
Walker had six catches for 63 yards last week and is just about the last remaining viable receiving option available for the Titans. He'll benefit from Marcus Mariota coming back as, and New Orleans has given up some big yardage games to opposing tight ends. Walker should be a solid start this week.
Week 8 at Houston
Walker had a team-high seven receptions last week, but managed just 55 yards on all that work. He does, however, have 15 receptions now in the past two games, which is solid production in PPR leagues. Houston has struggled against Travis Kelce, Julius Thomas and Greg Olsen, so Walker fits right in with that group. He should have some success once again, even if Zach Mettenberger gets another start.
Week 7 vs. Atlanta
Walker had eight catches for 97 yards and appears to be the only receiving target worth playing on a weekly basis in the Tennessee lineup. That's especially true this week against the Atlanta defense, which has been tough on opposing wide receivers, but not so much against tight ends. The Falcons have given up four TE touchdowns this season and allowed 13 catches for 165 yards and a score to New Orleans' tight ends last week. Walker is a must-play in all formats.
Week 6 vs. Miami
Walker had just four catches for 36 yards last week in a ho-hum start. But he does still rank 10th in the NFL in tight end targets, so there's always hope. Miami pitched a shutout against the tight ends from the Jets and Jaguars in four games this season, but didn't face anyone with Walker's talent in either of those games. In the other two games, tight ends went for lines of 9-71-1 and 5-82-1. Walker should be a decent start this week.
Week 5 vs. Buffalo
Walker had seven catches for 68 yards his last time out after getting blanked in Week 2. The Bills got burned in Week 2 by Rob Gronkowski, but who doesn't? Outside of that, they have allowed 13 TE catches for 89 yards in their other three games, which is very solid. Walker might get some play in PPR leagues, but he doesn't figure to be a big yardage producer this week.
Week 3 vs Indianapolis
A wrist injury sidelined Walker last week, but he should be back this week. He had 12 catches for 127 yards and a touchdown in two meetings with the Colts last season, but the wrist injury is troubling. The Colts have also given up just four tight end catches for 43 yards this season, including putting up a goose egg last week. Keep the expectations low this week.
