Delanie Walker

Walker played seven seasons with the Niners and seven years in Tennessee, where he became one of the more reliable fantasy tight ends. Walker, in fact, led all tight ends in receptions from 2013 to 2017 as a primary pass cacher for the Titans. His career year came in 2015, when he went for 1,088 receiving yards and six touchdowns on 94 receptions. Walker last played in the NFL in 2019. 

Walker wants to play for a "contender," but is open to all options. After skipping 2020 due to COVID, Walker spent his year off recovering from the ankle injury that limited him to eight games his last two seasons. Walker, 35, worked out for the 49ers in June. A return to the Titans, who have Anthony Firkser and Geoff Swain as their top tight ends, could make sense for both sides.

Walker took the 2020 season off due to COVID concerns and will be 37 years old by the time he takes the field for San Francisco should they sign him. He was only healthy for eight games in his final two seasons with the Titans. Walker is facing an uphill battle to return from football but if he can regain his form from the start of his tenure in Tennessee, he'll be a valuable addition for the 49ers. He recorded four consecutive 800-yard seasons from 2014 to 2017. Walker would back up George Kittle but could also see a modest amount of work in 2TE sets. 

Walker, 36 in August, took last season off due to COVID and to get back to full health after missing 24-of-32 games the previous two years thanks to injuries. Last offseason, he drew lukewarm interest from the Patriots, Colts, Packers, and Washington. It's unclear just how much left he has to offer.
