Taylor Thompson: Taylor Thompson enjoying terrific preseason
Taylor Thompson - TE - TEN - Aug. 15 - 11:02 pm et
Titans TE Taylor Thompson secured 5-of-5 targets for 56 yards in Friday night's second preseason game.
Continuing to build on his promising August, the converted defensive end now has eight grabs for 89 yards through two exhibition affairs. Thompson is a significantly better athlete than Delanie Walker and Craig Stevens. If Thompson keeps this up, the Titans will have to find ways to get him on the field. Aug. 15 - 11:02 pm et
He doesn't look like it. People were thinking Dex/Woodhead & Allen/Hunter and instead the correct answer may have been Walker/Gates.Walker has to be the most sell-high player in fantasy right now.

I think he's always had talent but was stuck behind Vern in SF, he's playing great now, and Wiz coming to TEN encouraged owners to see how the SD gameplan might play out in TEN. There was talk about McCluster as a sleeper and Hunter having a breakout session, but I don't recall much talk about Walker. SD was no. 4 FF points scored by TEs last year. I'm saying don't sell high because he will keep doing it, it's part of the system and not a 2 game fluke.What do you mean? Please explain.He doesn't look like it.

No idea.Walker - trending up or down with Mettenberger at QB?
Benching Walker this week. The uncertainty of not knowing if Mett is going to be checking down or airing it out has me nervous. Houston gets Clowney back for 3rd down passes. This is not the defense to do experiments with. Of course it depends on your options.Walker - trending up or down with Mettenberger at QB?
I'm starting him too, but with less confidence.He's going to be his safety blanket. I'm starting him.

Delanie Walker (concussion) isn't practicing Wednesday.
Advice: Walker was knocked out in the second quarter of Week 10 on a hit by Ravens S Terrence Brooks. He lay motionless on the field before eventually being carted to the locker room. Walker appears extremely doubtful for Week 11.
It looked bad. So many other players have sat for a week for concussions and it didn't look like this.mnmplayer said:Is this guy going to make it back for Monday night?

Titans TE Delanie Walker (concussion) participated in practice on Saturday and is listed as questionable for Monday night against the Steelers.
Walker was limited, but it is a step in the right direction after not practicing on Thursday and Friday. He still needs to be cleared by an independent neurologist in order to play. With the Titans not playing until Monday night, this will be a situation to avoid.

Delanie Walker - TE - Titans
Delanie Walker has passed his final concussion tests and has been cleared to play Week 12 against the Eagles.
Walker is listed as probable. He will be a low-end TE1 against an Eagles' defense that has been tough against tight ends this season.

Delanie Walker caught five passes for 155 yards in Sunday's Week 12 loss at Philadelphia.
After missing Week 11 due to a concussion, Walker came out fresh and strong. He ripped off a career-long 68-yard gain in the first half, out-classing the Eagles' terrible safeties in terms of both speed and power. It's Walker's second 100-yard game of the season, but first time he's been over 60 yards since Week 4. He'll be a low-end TE1 again when the Titans travel to Houston in Week 13 -- he'll be needed in-line to help block J.J. Watt and Jadeveon Clowney.

Wish I had missed it, too. It's sinking.Man, did I miss the boat on this guy.
Oher is supposed to be back, well no I mean it's possible. He was active last week and felt something after the designation.I expect him to bounce back this week. Houston was a bad TE matchup.
Given Tennessee's massive WR issues I don't know how they don't plan to get Walker double-digit touches this week. It sure would seem to make a ton of sense.I expect him to bounce back this week. Houston was a bad TE matchup.
How? They might make Walker stay in and block because they have injuries at every OL position except one, LG LeVitre who is playing terribly this year. An extra blocker might help keep Mett upright, if Mett even plays this week (shoulder).Given Tennessee's massive WR issues I don't know how they don't plan to get Walker double-digit touches this week.

I'd like to know this myself. He did have 10 targets however.Hmm. I didn't watch the game, was Walker in to block more instead of running routes?
Just wondering if his role has changed due to other personnel shifts. The Jets are a good TE matchup, but I'm just wondering why he hasn't been getting receiving work lately.
Agree. He does turn 31 in 2015, but continues to play at a high level, and could have upside if Mariota is as good as advertised.Seems like an underrated guy in dynasty, at least in my leagues.
