Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
From 2007-10, Walter caught 229 passes for 2,931 yards and 19 touchdowns as the No. 2 receiver opposite Andre Johnson. Last season, Walter caught 39 passes for 474 yards and three touchdowns in 64 percent of the offensive snaps in the regular season -- his lowest playing-time percentage since 2006 -- with three receptions for 36 yards in two playoff games. ... Look for the Texans to make an effort to upgrade at wideout in the draft -- although that doesn't mean Walter won't keep his starting job.
