Wide Receiver Rank: #89 Overall: #253
Walter once again served as the starter for the Texans last season but didn't do much with his chances. He actually had fewer than 500 yards, which was the first time doing that since his first season with the Texans in 2006. Walter had four straight seasons of 600-plus yards before last year. Walter topped 50 yards just four times, though, and scored three touchdowns. He wasn't a big factor in the passing game even with Andre Johnson missing a lot of time for the Texans. Walter could be out of the starting lineup this season as the Texans look to get younger at the position. He seems setup to serve a reserve role with the team. Walter doesn't have great speed but has good hands and uses his big frame well to shield defenders. He has his limitations but makes plays when given the chance.

Walter hasn't been much of a fantasy factor through the years. We don't see a sudden spike in production for the coming season, especially after last year. He probably is good for 400 or 500 yards and a few scores. Walter isn't really worth a draft pick these days. |

| Houston Texans WR Kevin Walter caught six passes for 76 yards and one touchdown against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 14. |
| Fantasy Impact: Walter was the top target in the passing game with Andre Johnson out. He has been up and down much of the season, though, so don't expect this every week. |
