2022 Fantasy Outlook
Walker hasn't missed a game since being drafted by the Falcons in the fourth round of the 2020 Draft and has totaled 80 tackles, five pass deflections, one interception, one forced fumble and one defensive touchdown during that stretch. With Foye Oluokun gone and Deion Jones' (shoulder) future uncertain, Walker could garner an increased role in 2022. However, Walker saw more snaps (385) on defense as a rookie than he did last year (186), so rookie second-round pick Troy Anderson is likely the favorite to open the 2022 campaign as the starting middle linebacker next to Rashaan Evans.

Posts first 100-plus tackle season
Walker registered 107 tackles (56 solo), six pass defenses, two interceptions, one sack and one forced fumble across 16 appearances during the 2022 campaign.
ANALYSIS
Walker opened the season as a starter, posting 101 tackles, two interceptions and one sack across the first 12 games of the campaign. However, following Atlanta's Week 14 bye, he was replaced by rookie second-round pick Troy Andersen and saw just 39 defensive snaps over the final four games of the season. Overall, Walker's season totals look promising, but it appears he'll have an uphill battle for playing time during the final year of his rookie contract.
