Walker helping himself, others in fantasy

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee Titans tight end Delanie Walker ’s big game against Dallas included 142 yards – the third most in franchise history for a tight end.

Only Jared Cook (169 against Jacksonville in 2011) and Dave Casper (150 against Cleveland in 1980) have topped Walker’s 142.

Walker is posting some other impressive numbers.

He’s averaging 4.3 catches per game with the Titans, surpassing Frank Wycheck’s 3.5 career mark. And his 44.1 receiving yards per game is second only to Casper's 46.1.

walker's stat line Sunday -- 10 catches for 140 yds and a TD -- made him the first Titan to hit those marks since Drew Bennett in 2004, per ESPN Stats and Info.

Walker’s start to the season has been big for the Titans. It’s also helped him get into first place in a league he’s in in Fantasy Fundraising, where people can create teams and compete with him and others week to week.

Players can challenge celebrity participants who represent charities. Walker is playing to raise money and awareness for Mothers Against Drunk Driving, while singer Kelly Clarkson represents St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

Others involved include Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback Warren Moon, Mike Conley of the Memphis Grizzlies, Troy Daniels of the Houston Rockets, actress Tiffani Thiessen and the band Montgomery Gentry.

Walker said he’s in first with a mish-mash of players, as much of his team was auto-drafted. His quarterback is teammate Jake Locker and he’s got the 49ers defense.
