Walker

Walker continued to operate as the team’s WR3 in the absence of Rome Odunze, this time cashing in on a 25-yard touchdown to start the fourth quarter for the team’s first points of the game. he is likely to return to a modest role once Odunze returns to the game-day roster, which should occur when the team hosts the Packers in the Wild Card round next weekend.

Walker, a UDFA out of Texas A&M, found himself in an increased role on Saturday with Rome Odunze and Luther Burden both sidelined. Walker got on the board with his first career catch on the Bears’ opening drive, and scored his first touchdown on a six-yard pass near the end of regulation to tie the game at 16-16. Saturday’s performance was a nice outing for the rookie UDFA, but he won’t have any fantasy value heading into Week 17 against the 49ers.
