Completes first year in Chicago
Walker posted two tackles, including a sack, in the Bears' 17-9 loss to the Packers on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Playing on the fourth team in his seven-year career, Walker logged a career-high 688 snaps, which was 258 more snaps than the next-highest total. From a productivity standpoint, the veteran defensive end totaled 30 tackles, including 3.5 sacks. Going into his age-29 season, Walker has two years remaining on his contract with the Bears. If he retains his role in the defense, Walker will be a low-ceiling IDP option.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Talks with Texans
Walker had a visit with the Texans on Thursday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
The Texans are in serious need of a bolstered pass rush, and though Walker hasn't necessarily been a sack machine across four seasons in the league, he did bring down opposing quarterbacks 8.5 total times over the last two years. Walker has yet to prove himself as a reliable IDP fantasy asset, but landing in Houston would at least give him a clear path to consistent opportunities.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2017
Walker was a second-round draft pick of the Broncos in 2017 and played four seasons with them. Now that the Bears signed him in free agency, Walker is with his fourth team in the last four years. However, after failing to reach five sacks in any of his first five seasons, the 28 year old notched a career-high seven sacks with the Titans last year. The Bears expect him to start at defensive end, playing opposite Yannick Ngakoue in the hopes of boosting what was an anemic pass rush in 2022.
