Quick answer
BuyWalker caught 6 passes for 136 yards in 2025, finishing WR118. He scored 36% more than his touches said he should. Finish path matters here: WR169 → WR118 is a breakout, not a development pitch. Played a short 2025 (8 games) — health is the nearer question than talent. The trend line says buy: this is a climb, not a name you're paying nostalgia tax for.
