Notes
The Tennessee Titans believe they will be able to do more with TE Delanie Walker this season than what they did with TE Jared Cook last season. The team believes Walker can line up on the outside but also be an inline blocker in the running game and run more traditional tight end routes.

Tennessee Titans TE Delanie Walker said he expects to be a part of the passing game this season because he will be given more of an opportunity to catch passes than he received when he was with the San Francisco 49ers. Walker said he understands he has to become a more reliable target since he dropped nine passes last season. He said he would like to catch at least 70 passes in 2013.
Fantasy Impact: He isn't going to get enough chances to catch 70 passes.

The Philadelphia Eagles could pursue free-agent TE Delanie Walker (49ers), as he might fit in well with the new offense of head coach Chip Kelly since Walker can line up as a fullback, H-Back and tight end. He did have eight drops, however, in 39 targets, so that is a definite drawback.

Cleveland Browns head coach Rob Chudzinski likes to use his tight ends in the offense, and the only option on the roster right now is TE Jordan Cameron. The team wants more depth at the position.

San Francisco 49ers TE Delanie Walker said he and WR A.J. Jenkins working with the JUGs machine during practice this week to improve their catching abilities. Walker dropped two passes in the team's Divisional Round playoff game while Jenkins dropped his only target this season. 'Every time defense was up (in practice), I run to the JUGs machine,' Walker said. 'I even brought A.J. with me because he's going to be a key factor this year, I mean, in this game -- making sure he's catching balls with me. Really, that's what we need. We need guys to make plays when they come to them. I consider me one of the playmakers here.'
