2022 Fantasy Outlook
After a weird 2020 campaign that saw Detroit's then-inept coaching staff lead one of the worst statistical defenses in league history, Walker was back to his high-performing self in 2021 under Dan Cambell. Notching triple-digit tackles for the second time in three years, the 27-year-old Walker remains firmly in his prime and could reach even greater heights in 2022 thanks to Detroit's up-and-coming defensive line led by No. 2 overall draft pick Aidan Hutchinson.

Eyeing return for OTAs
Walker (Achilles) recently suggested via his personal Twitter account that he will be ready for the Lions' offseason training program this spring.
ANALYSIS
After tearing his Achilles in late September, it would be an impressive feat for Walker to make it back for the start of offseason workouts. Even if the Lions' coaching staff has different plans for its standout safety, it at least seems that Walker could be available well before the start of the 2023 season opener.

2018
Matt Patricia messed with Walker's playing time a bit last year and a midseason foot injury disrupted him further, but he still managed to put together a respectable box score in the abbreviated showing. Walker likely is limited in coverage and best suited to a box safety role, where his ability to pile up tackles can be useful. So long as he plays 850 snaps or more he should provide DB2 utility in most IDP formats, because he made 87 tackles on just 755 snaps last year and needed only 851 snaps to produce 103 tackles in 2019.
