Walker totaled seven tackles (six solo) and recovered a fumble that he returned for a touchdown in Sunday's loss to Philadelphia. Walker's seven stops were a season-high mark and were enough to ensure he had a strong day for fantasy managers who roster him as an IDP. However, the defensive end's biggest impact came on one play -- he recovered a Saquon Barkley fumble in the third quarter and returned it 35 yards for his first NFL touchdown. Walker is putting together his best pro season with 33 tackles (17 solo), including 6.5 sacks, through nine games.

Walker recorded three tackles (two solo) including 1.0 sacks during Sunday's 32-16 win against the Patriots. Walker's sack came after a bull rush on a long third down late in the fourth quarter to essentially put the last nail in New England's coffin in Week 7. It was his sixth of the season, keeping him on pace for his second straight double-digit sack season heading into a Week 8 matchup versus the Packers.

Walker tallied five tackles (four solo), including 3.0 sacks, and a forced fumble during Jacksonville's win over the Colts on Sunday. Walker came up big for the Jaguars in their first win of the season, as he dominated Indianapolis' offensive line en route to setting a new single-game career high in sacks. The former first overall pick has now amassed 5.0 sacks across his first five appearances of the season.

Walker closed the 2023 regular season with 52 tackles (27 solo), 10.0 sacks and one fumble recovery in 17 games. The 2022 first overall pick had a quiet rookie campaign with just 3.5 sacks in 15 contests, but he took a major step forward as a sophomore this past season, finishing second on the team in sacks. Walker could be poised for a full breakout in 2024, though the status of top pass rusher Josh Allen -- who could leave Jacksonville as a free agent -- could affect how much attention Walker receives from opposing offenses.

Walker registered five tackles (three solo), including one sack, in Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers. Walker's sack came in the fourth quarter, as he brought down Baker Mayfield for a 13-yard loss to help the Jaguars force a punt. The second-year linebacker has at least half a sack in five of his past six contests, pushing him to 7.0 sacks on the campaign. That's twice as many as he posted in nearly as many defensive snaps as a rookie last year.
