Wide Receiver Rank: #80 Overall: #238
Walter held off Jacoby Jones for the starting job last season and enjoyed another productive year. He had more than 50 receptions for the fourth straight season. Walter started last season with touchdowns three straight games and enjoyed a 100-yard game during that stretch. He was a little quiet after that but still produced decent numbers in the end. In the last four years, Walter averages 57 receptions for 733 yards and five touchdowns. He is a solid possession receiver. Walter doesn't have great speed but has good hands and uses his big frame well to shield defenders. He is no sure thing to start this coming year but has been holding onto that job the last few years.

Walter hasn't been much of a fantasy factor through the years. He isn't a bad get in PPR leagues, but doesn't have a ton of value outside of those. Walter is good for 600 or so yards and five touchdowns, making him a deep reserve in standard leagues. |

| Houston Texans WR Kevin Walter caught six passes for 76 yards and one touchdown against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 14. |
