Delanie Walker
Tennessee Titans tight end Delanie Walker currently leads the team in nearly every receiving category, and given Oakland’s season long struggle to limit opposing tight ends, Walker performed as expected.
According to ESPN.com, Walker caught six of his eight targets for 91 yards.
Given Walker’s rare combination of size and athleticism, Oakland struggled match up well against them with any of their linebackers or safeties. Though Malcolm Smith and Taylor Mays had success at times, he still managed to burst wide open on a majority of Tennessee’s play action plays.
Titans tight ends Anthony Fasano and Craig Stevens also got in the mix, as the two combined for three receptions for 42 yards and a touchdown.
Though it wasn’t enough to pull out a win at home, Walker still led his team in receiving on Sunday and continues to lead his team on the season.
