2025 Fantasy Outlook
Walker enters the 2025 season in an interesting position, as the Packers declined the fifth-year option on his rookie contract but have stated they are open to signing him to an extension. His fit in the defense isn't exactly clear, however. Edgerrin Cooper displayed the potential as a rookie that the Packers were likely hoping for from Walker in the last three years. That could push the Packers toward moving on from him after the upcoming campaign. Even with some of those negatives, Walker has topped 100 tackles and two sacks in all three of his campaigns. Even if his future isn't in Green Bay for the long term, Walker should still be on the field in all early downs and oftentimes as a three-down linebacker in 2025. It's also possible he puts it all together in a late breakout, given how much is on the line for him in 2025. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a four-year, $13.84 million contract with the Packers in May of 2022. Packers declined $14.75 million team option for 2026 in May of 2025.
Inactive Thursday
Walker (neck) is inactive for Thursday's clash with the Lions, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The starting middle linebacker suffered the injury in Week 11 versus the Giants, missed Week 12 against the Vikings and is now unable to make the quick turnaround for a Thanksgiving Day game. Walker entered the day with a questionable tag, so it seems like he has a decent shot to return for Green Bay's Week 14 matchup with Chicago. Meanwhile, in his absence Thursday, Isaiah McDuffie and Ty'Ron Hopper should see more snaps.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2022
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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
No serious injury
Walker believes his shoulder stinger is not a long-term injury, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Walker missed most of the second half of the Packers' Week 11 win over the Giants due to the stinger. His status for a Week 12 matchup against the Vikings is unclear, and his absence would significantly hurt Green Bay's run defense. Isaiah McDuffie would see an increased role if Walker is inactive.
