The Facts:
The Texans have a wide-open depth chart at wide receiver after Andre Johnson and Kevin Walter, and Martin is making the most of his opportunity.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
A fourth-round draft pick from Michigan State, Martin has been one of the most impressive players at Texans training camp. He has practiced with the first-team offense since Thursday as Johnson sits out with a groin injury, and he looks every bit like he belongs. “I think he’s showing that he’s capable of doing it,” Texans head coach Gary Kubiak said. “There are some growing pains, there are some things that he’s got to go through, but he’s very professional in his approach. Doesn’t say a word, just works, and he’s going against J-Joe (Pro Bowl cornerback Jonathan Joseph) every day. That’ll make you good real quick.” Probably of more interest in long-term leagues than short term ones, Martin could be relevant in redraft leagues if he were to get more repetitions in the event Andre Johnson were to miss time due to injury.
