Tracy Walker III Fantasy

Detroit Lions safety Tracy Walker (Achilles) said on his personal Twitter account that he will be ready to take part in organized team activities this offseason. Walker tore his Achilles in September and missed the rest of the 2022 season. The 28-year-old might be being a little optimistic about taking part in organized team activities, but it's a good sign that his rehab is going well. We'll have to monitor how much Walker does this offseason and through training camp this summer, but it sounds like he will at least have a realistic chance to be ready for the start of the 2023 campaign, which would be a big boost to Detroit's secondary. Walker played in only three games in 2022 before tearing his Achilles.

The Detroit Lions placed safety Tracy Walker (Achilles) on season-ending Injured Reserve after he suffered a torn Achilles in the Week 3 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. "That's a significant loss for multiple reasons," head coach Dan Campbell said. "Since I walked in the door last year, he's been all in. He's one of our team captains this year and nobody has put in more work." It's a tough blow for the Lions secondary and for fantasy managers in IDP leagues. With Walker no longer around for the rest of the year, expect Kerby Joseph to have a much bigger role moving forward at safety for the Lions. The 27-year-old Walker finishes his 2022 season with 20 tackles (11 solo) and a pass defensed in three games played.

Detroit Lions safety Tracy Walker (Achilles), who had been impressive through two weeks, is believed to have suffered a torn Achilles tendon in the Week 3 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. If it's confirmed, it would knock him out for the season, according to sources. Fantasy managers in IDP leagues that had been running with the 27-year-old as their defensive back will obviously need to go in another direction for the rest of the year. Walker will finish 2022 with a sack, 20 tackles (11 solo) and a pass defensed in three games played. Kerby Joseph is expected to take over for Walker moving forward. It's bad news for a Lions defense that has allowed 265.7 passing yards per game through the first three weeks.
