Rest-of-Season Projections
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Two seasons into his career, Walker has proven himself to be a strong tackler and run-stopper. He's also missed time in each campaign, as he was ejected from a pair of games in his rookie season before battling a shoulder injury that sidelined him for three games in 2024. With those growing pains out of the way, it should line up for year three to be Walker's true breakout. However, the addition of Edgerin Cooper in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft muddies Walker's playing time projection. The coaching staff has called the duo "interchangeable," though it's not time to panic just yet considering Cooper hasn't played a down as a pro. Read Past Outlooks
Good to go against Philadelphia
Walker (ankle) is active for Sunday's NFC wild-card game against the Eagles, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Walker missed the Packers' final three games of the regular season due to an ankle injury. He was a limited participant in practice all week, and the 2022 first-round pick has progressed enough in his recovery to play in the Packers' playoff opener. Walker will start alongside Edgerrin Cooper and Isaiah McDuffie while Eric Wilson and Ty'Ron Hopper provide rotational depth at linebacker.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Selected in the first round in the 2022 Draft, Walker started 16 of 17 games alongside De'Vondre Campbell and wound up racking up more tackles than his counterpart (121 vs. 96) or any other Packer. Walker wasn't consistent, but he did average nine stops per game from Weeks 7-12 - four of which Campbell missed. The upside for both players is capped when they're out there, but if Walker's opportunities increase, he has the potential to make an impact in leagues that credit tackles for IDPs.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Looks solid in preseason
Walker looked NFL ready over his first two preseason starts with the Packers, according to Nick Baumgardner of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
So far, Walker has exemplified the athleticism and disciplined play that made him one of the best players in Georgia's historic collegiate defense last year. The 6-foot-4 inside linebacker's ability to make plays in space has translated both in the run game and in pass coverage this preseason, as has his consistent, relatively mistake-free play, per Baumgardner. Walker's overall production could be limited while playing alongside All-Pro De'Vondre Campbell this coming regular season, but his strong preseason performance seems to indicate that these two could form a formidable duo over the middle of Green Bay's defense for years to come.
