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

Logs 10 tackles again
LBGreen Bay Packers
December 9, 2024
Walker tallied 10 tackles (six solo) during the Packers' 34-31 loss to the Lions in Week 13.
ANALYSIS
Walker logged the same amount of combined and solo tackles this past Thursday as he did against the Dolphins in Week 13, except he wasn't able to register a sack on Jared Goff. The third-year linebacker is up to 99 combined tackles through 12 games, and with four games left to go in the regular season, Walker is on track to eclipse his career-best mark (121) set in 2022, his rookie year.

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.
While many expected the Packers to draft a wide receiver with their top pick, they went with the guy they liked best at 22nd overall, and that was a University of Georgia defender for a second straight year. Walker won't be the Packers' top inside linebacker, as the team brought back tackling machine De'Vondre Campbell in the offseason. However, Walker figures to see the field plenty as a versatile complement who can cover opposing skill players. Walker isn't known as a turnover generator, but he still should rack up his fair share of tackles.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Looks solid in preseason
LBGreen Bay Packers
August 27, 2022
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.
