Kevin Walter caught three passes for 35 yards and a touchdown in the Texans' Week 3 loss to New Orleans. Jacoby Jones had one reception for zero yards. Walter showed excellent concentration to haul in a twice-tipped pass on his fourth-quarter touchdown catch, but in the long run increasing roles for James Casey and Owen Daniels kill his fantasy appeal. The Texans also won't throw as often as they did in this game. Look for Walter to finish as a top-50 or so fantasy receiver.
