Positives - Comments from FBG.com: In 2004 Walker emerged as one of the game’s premiere wide receivers catching 89 passes for 1,382 yards and 12 touchdowns. Walker was the poster boy for the fabled “third year WR rule”. Walker scored a TD from 30 yards or longer in six different games while topping the century mark in five games. In other words he’s a game breaker. He can hurt a defense with his strength and ability to get off the line quickly on slant routes. Or he can devastate a defense with his speed and jumping ability down field where he frequently wins jump balls against smaller defenders. Walker has the size, speed and hands to remain among the elite fantasy receivers for the next several seasons (or at least as long as Favre continues playing).

Negatives - Comments from FBG.com: Earlier in his career Walker’s hands were sporadic, and he seemed to be a little lost at times with his route running. Thankfully, those problems are mostly in the rear view mirror. Walker’s biggest negative has little to do with his performance on the field. Walker had a contentious holdout threat that was recently resolved when he reported on time, but QB Brett Favre had some very pointed comments about Walker prior to that. Hopefully, there will be no animosity there but it should be noted nonetheless.
