Jalon Walker LB | ATL
Falcons' Jalon Walker: Secures sack in win
Walker recorded 1.0 sacks in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Saints.
Walker didn't have a particularly high level of production in Week 12, but he did make the most of his only takedown, sacking Tyler Shough in the third quarter. The linebacker was on the field for 51 percent of the defensive snaps, his lowest percentage since Week 4, and that might explain the dip in production. On the year, Walker has now compiled 30 total tackles (21 solo), including 5.0 sacks, while also adding a pass defensed, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery over nine games.

Key missed four games earlier in the season due to a quadriceps injury but has been productive in the seven regular-season games he's played, having totaled 11 tackles (six solo), including 4.0 sacks.
