Walker collected six solo tackles and five assists during Sunday's 41-21 loss to the Colts.
EDGE Analysis
When the safety leads the team in tackles it's often a discouraging sign for the defense, and that was again the case Sunday as Indianapolis racked up 262 yards through the air and 119 yards on the ground along with five total touchdowns. Despite the off day from Detroit's defense, Walker's coverage numbers have been respectable to this point in the season, as he's held opponents to a 52 percent completion rate with 4.8 yards per target.

Walker recorded 12 tackles (10 solo) across 65 defensive snaps in Sunday's win over the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Walker continues to be a tackling machine this season, as he now has 23 tackles on the year. After playing in limited snaps in Week 2, Walker was back on track Sunday as he did not miss a single defensive snap alongside fellow safety Duron Harmon. The young safety will now shift his focus to Sunday's matchup with the Saints.

Walker recorded nine tackles and one pass breakup during Sunday's 27-23 loss to Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
After logging at least 99 percent of the defensive snaps in over half of his games in 2019, both Walker and Will Harris saw a tad under 90 percent in the season opener while Duron Harmon didn't come off the field. Walker finished tops in the stat sheet, though, as Harmon and Harris each had five tackles apiece. If Detroit remains without its top three corners in Week 2, the Lions defense could struggle to get off the field, which could lead to plenty of playing time for each of Walker, Harmon and Harris.

Walker recorded six tackles and two pass breakups in Week 17 against Green Bay.
EDGE Analysis
The tackle total was enough to push Walker over the century mark for the season, and the Louisiana-Lafayette product will finish the 2019 campaign with 103 tackles, eight pass breakups, one pick and one forced fumble over 13 games. This was quite a step forward for Walker after a dismal rookie season, especially after many considered him a reach just a year and a half ago when Detroit took the 2018 draftee in the third round. With Quan Diggs now in Seattle and Tavon Wilson's contract set to expire at the end of the league year, there's plenty of room for Walker to keep growing in 2020 and beyond, both statistically and in terms of his importance to the Lions defense.

Walker recorded eight tackles during Sunday's 27-17 loss to Denver.
EDGE Analysis
With his first tackle of the game, Walker became the second Lions player to stuff the stat sheet to the tune of 90 tackles, 5 pass breakups, one pick and one forced fumble in either of his first two seasons. While that distinction doesn't mean much in a vacuum, it does go to show how productive Walker has been in Matt Patricia's scheme after many questioned Detroit's judgement in taking him in the third round last offseason. With the Lions' linebacker corps down to second- and third-stringer, Walker's role in the defense will become even more crucial during Sunday's season finale against Green Bay.

Walker recorded seven tackles (five solo) and one defended pass during Sunday's 38-17 loss to the Buccaneers.
EDGE Analysis
Walker is averaging an impressive 8.1 tackles per game, making him a consistent fantasy asset in IDP formats despite a notable lack of upside in terms of interceptions and sacks. The second-year pro will look to keep up his momentum against the Broncos in Week 16.

Walker (knee) is active for Thursday's divisional contest against the Bears.
EDGE Analysis
Walker sat out Week 12's game against Washington, but he'll manage to play through his knee issue Thanksgiving Day. The second-year pro will draw his usual start in the secondary versus Chicago.

Walker (knee) is considered questionable for Thursday's matchup against the Bears.
EDGE Analysis
Walker is in danger of missing his second straight game, but it's encouraging that he was listed as a limited participant in every practice this week. The final verdict on Walker's status will be determined 90 minutes ahead of Thursday's 12:30 p.m. ET kickoff. Will Harris is slated to start if Walker can't go.

Walker (knee) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's estimated injury report.
EDGE Analysis
Walker sat out Sunday's loss to the Redskins after aggravating his knee injury the previous week, but he appears to have a chance to retake the field Week 13. However, the 24-year-old will only have a couple days to prove he's ready to play Thursday.

Walker (knee) is ruled out for Sunday's tilt against the Redskins.
EDGE Analysis
Walker appeared to aggravate his lingering knee injury during Week 11's loss to the Cowboys, and he didn't practice in any capacity this week. As long as the second-year safety is unable to suit up, expect Will Harris and Miles Killebrew to play increased roles on defense.
