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

December 16, 2025
Walker logged nine tackles (three solo), including one for a loss, during the Packers' 34-26 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Walker played 64 of 68 defensive snaps (94.1 percent) and finished as the game's leading tackler. His efforts Sunday brought him over the tackling century mark for a fourth consecutive year, and his 102 combined stops through 12 regular-season games matches his total from the 2024 campaign (across 13 regular-season contests). The 2022 first-rounder has three more opportunities to crack his career-high mark from his rookie campaign (121 tackles across 17 regular-season games), starting this Saturday against the Bears.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
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.
Selected in the first round in the 2022 Draft, Walker started 16 of 17 games alongside De'Vondre Campbell and wound up racking up more tackles than his counterpart (121 vs. 96) or any other Packer. Walker wasn't consistent, but he did average nine stops per game from Weeks 7-12 - four of which Campbell missed. The upside for both players is capped when they're out there, but if Walker's opportunities increase, he has the potential to make an impact in leagues that credit tackles for IDPs.
While many expected the Packers to draft a wide receiver with their top pick, they went with the guy they liked best at 22nd overall, and that was a University of Georgia defender for a second straight year. Walker won't be the Packers' top inside linebacker, as the team brought back tackling machine De'Vondre Campbell in the offseason. However, Walker figures to see the field plenty as a versatile complement who can cover opposing skill players. Walker isn't known as a turnover generator, but he still should rack up his fair share of tackles.

No serious injury

November 18, 2025
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.
