Travon Walker Dynasty Value

Jaguars LB Chad Muma (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cowboys. He managed limited practices all week after missing last Sunday's win over the Titans. If Mama returns, fellow rookie Devin Lloyd would likely return to a part-time role. EDGE Travon Walker is questionable as well, but he missed practice all week with the ankle issue that knocked him out of the Tennessee game. We wouldn't look to play Walker in IDP lineups even if active. CB Darious Williams (abdomen) is also questionable. We'll check the status of all 3 on Sunday morning. S Andre Cisco was left off the final injury report after putting in full practices all week. He looks ready to return after missing the past 2 games. Andrew Wingard had been filling in.

Jaguars DC Mike Caldwell says #1 overall pick Travon Walker will play OLB in the team's new defense, according to John Reid of the Florida Times-Union. "I think his best position is outside linebacker because of his length, his athletic ability going against tackles," Caldwell said. "That is a premium position in this defense. He can play other positions, but his home for us is outside linebacker, where we see him being a force." The knee-jerk response might be to question why Jacksonville would play the 275-pounder at LB rather than DE. But in highlighting Walker's matchup with OTs, Caldwell signals that this will be more of an EDGE position than a traditional off-ball LB. We'll see how it plays out, of course, but we'd bet on Walker looking more like Von Miller did for Denver early in his career or Micah Parsons for last year's Cowboys -- in terms of how he's deployed. That said, we remain hesitant to count on Walker for big numbers. Playing LB will also limit his fantasy value on sites that still rely on traditional LB/DE splits with their position designations.
