  • Combine ×0.99

Quick answer

Buy

Walker had 10 solo tackles, 1 sack in 2026, ranking DL27 through 7 games. Through 7 games he sits DL27, up from DL60 — a climb, not a final rank. 2026 looks more like a flex than a locked starter. The trend line says buy: this is a climb, not a name you're paying nostalgia tax for.
