Texans coach Gary Kubiak suggested that 2012 fourth-round pick Keshawn Martin hit a "rookie wall" in his first season.

"There's another level for this young man to reach," Kubiak said as Martin enters year two. "I think the season got a little long on him, the rookie wall whatever. ... I think he'll come back and be an even better contributor." Kubiak believes Martin can both contribute in the slot and become an "excellent returner."

Keshawn Martin caught a nine-yard touchdown in Houston's overtime Week 11 win against the Jaguars.

Martin kicked off the game's scoring with his lone catch in the first quarter. He beat Aaron Ross easily in the end zone and found pay dirt. Martin added five kickoff returns for a 32-yard average and brought back two punts at a 38-yard clip. The rookie wideout is not a fantasy option.

Keshawn Martin caught two passes for 24 yards in Houston's Week 6 loss to the Packers.

He was targeted six times. Martin came within one yard of his first-career touchdown on a 12-yard grab in the third quarter, catching the ball in stride as he exploded toward the goal line. He was wrestled down at the one, however. Martin caught the eye of NBC's Cris Collinsworth this evening, but with just six catches through six games, he's miles from redraft relevance.

Keshawn Martin has been installed as the Texans' new return man.

The return game was pathetic under Trindon Holliday, averaging 19.4 yards per kickoff return and 9.2 yards per punt return. During his four-year career at Michigan State, Martin averaged 23.4 yards on kickoff returns and 10.1 yards on punts. He's behind fellow rookie Lestar Jean on the receiving depth chart.

Keshawn Martin notched two catches for 20 yards in Houston's Week 3 win over the Broncos.

Martin also gained 21 yards on a second-quarter end around. Martin's impressive jets were on full display on his 21-yard rush, but the catches were his first of the season. He's not yet worth a flier in deeper fantasy leagues.

The Texans plan to use a four-receiver rotation this season.

Andre Johnson is an every-down wideout and experienced Kevin Walter will play the majority of snaps as the team's best blocking receiver. That leaves Keshawn Martin and Lestar Jean to battle for scraps. The Texans aren't going to throw enough most weeks to support a third wideout.

HoustonTexans.com acknowledges WR Keshawn Martin "seems to have separated" from Lestar Jean and DeVier Posey in Texans camp.

Now all Martin has to do is hold that separation in the preseason. Raw rookie DeVier Posey shouldn't be a threat to Martin's status as the favorite in the slot, while Jean is more of an outside receiver. Martin is a name to keep in mind in the later rounds of PPR drafts.
