2025 Fantasy Outlook
After moving back and selecting Walker at No. 15 overall in the 2025 Draft, the Falcons traded up to double-dip on versatile linebackers and took James Pearce 11 picks later. The rookies share physical traits and playing styles, but Walker played more ILB in college. Even if Walker plays inside, he'll be part of blitz packages. Inside, Kaden Ellis returns as a starter, and it's unclear if Troy Andersen can ever stay healthy. Atlanta also added ILB Divine Deablo. Outside, Leonard Floyd replaced Matthew Judon, with Arnold Ebiketie returning. The Falcons had 31 sacks last year, second fewest in the NFL. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a four-year, $20.56 million contract with the Falcons in May of 2025.
Relatively quiet Sunday
Walker recorded four tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 30-27 overtime loss versus the Panthers.
ANALYSIS
Walker logged 3.0 sacks over the two games prior to Sunday's contest, but he was blanked in that category in Week 11. He'll be hoping to get back in the sack column in a Week 12 matchup against the division-rival Saints.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Visiting with Browns
Walker had a visit with the Browns on Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Walker is a near-lock to go in the first round and could even land inside the top 10 selections. He doesn't have a clear position heading into the draft, as he was used as both an edge and more traditional linebacker during his college career at Georgia. Regardless of his exact usage, Walker's athleticism and burst should allow him to get after the quarterback often in the NFL. The Browns currently own the second pick, likely too high to select Walker, though he could be an option if the team opts to trade down from No. 2 or up from No. 33.
