#7 Tennessee Titans TE Delanie Walker

Over the last four seasons, tight end Delanie Walker has been one of the critical pieces in the Tennessee Titans offense. Without much help from wide receivers, Walker has been the one sure thing in the passing game for young quarterback Marcus Mariota.

Over the last four seasons, Walker has collected 800 or more yards per season. While he only caught three touchdowns in 2017, much of that has to do with Mariota’s struggles last year. Mariota only threw 13 touchdowns in 2017 which was a major reason for the lack of production on the Titans offense.

Walker led the team in target share last season seeing 22 percent of the available targets. Another season of little proven wide receivers including Corey Davis and Rishard Matthews makes Walker an even bigger target, especially in the red zone.

Regardless of the struggles from Mariota, the Titans are bringing in new offensive coordinator Mike Mularkey. While Walker turns 34 this month, he shows no signs of slowing down or not being dependable. I expect him to double his touchdowns from a year ago.
