4. Delanie Walker, TE, Tennessee Titans

Delanie Walker is not only the most reliable receiver in the Titans’ offense, he is one of the best fantasy tight ends in the NFL. Despite a shaky start to the season, do not hesitate to get Walker in your lineup.

Last week, Walker brought in three receptions for 42 yards against the Minnesota Vikings. Not exactly a massive fantasy performance, but not bad considering how poor the tight end scoring was last week.

This week, Walker has some nice upside against the Lions. Detroit’s defense has some nice talent, but their linebacker situation is less than ideal. They are exploitable in the middle of the field, and that could mean big things for Walker on Sunday.

Last week against the Indianapolis Colts, the Lions’ defense was exposed by the tight end position. Not only did Dwayne Allen catch four passes for 53 yards and a touchdown, Colts’ number two tight end Jack Doyle brought in three receptions for 35 yards and two touchdowns.

Doyle was the highest scoring fantasy tight end of Week 1, while Allen was the second-highest scorer at the position. Simply put, the Titans should look to attack the Lions with Walker.

He is one of the most reliable tight ends in the league, and they are facing a defense that is ripe for the picking. Delanie Walker is a must start this week.

Next: 3. Marvin Jones
