The Mysterious Rectangle at the End of the Field

Walter's relationship with the end zone is a lot like your relationship with vegetables.  You eat them when you are a kid because your parents spoon feed that green pea apple sauce mush into your mouth and you don't have a choice; then when you get older and less mature, you stop eating them because they taste worse than a Bruno asscock sandwich:

But after a while, you realize you need to eat them if you don't wanna look like Jabba the Hut and die before you're 40.  Got all that?

And so it goes with Walter.  The 28-year-old receiver set a school record with 20 career TDs when he was just a young'un at Eastern Michigan.  After he was selected in the depths of the 2003 NFL draft, the end zone broke up with him, and no matter what he tried, he couldn't win her back.  From 2003-06, as a member of the Bengals and Texans, Walter did the nasty only once with the end-zone.  But that's it, and because of it, he never got to try any of his great ideas.  The cell phone, mooning the crowd and using the pylon as a putter were all his ideas, but sadly, he never had the opportunity to put them to use and they were stolen as the end zone dated Joe Horn, Randy Moss and Chad Johnson, or so a legend we just made up has it.

Over the past few seasons, Walter realized he needed to make a move, otherwise he could be a bachelor for life.  So, he worked harder than ever (and the presence of Andre Johnson didn't hurt) as he scored four TDs in 2007 and then eight last season.

In fact, through Week 14 of last season, Walter was tied for the AFC lead with eight TD receptions with Moss and he had three more than his famed teammate Johnson.  He also was 5th in the league with 11 catches of 25 yards or more.  Unfortunately, he ended the season with three awful games (fantasy playoffs - argh), but he still ended up as one of the best WR2s in the league.  He was targeted a healthy 95 times, catching 60 of those passes for 899 yards for a 15.0 yards-per-catch average.  Walter and Johnson became the 2nd best receiving duo behind Fitzgerald and Boldin out in the desert.

 

 

2009 Fantasy Outlook

As long as the Andre Johnson is lining up opposite him, Walter will remain a fantasy starter.  Teams will double and triple team Johnson, yet he still ruins their weekends, and Walter is left in single coverage and is managing well with that.  He finished around 20th in fantasy points out of all WRs.

The team passed 555 times (56% of their plays and ranked 7th in the league) and the passing offense ranked 4th overall in yards.  The Texans have a new OC in Kyle Shanahan (yes, Mike's son) and it appears that coach Gary Kubiak will be handing over the play-calling to him for the season.  In Kyle's sole contest calling the shots, the Texans managed an even balance of 36 passes and 36 rushes, and that trend could continue this year in order to protect the oft-injured QB Matt Schaub while also letting the running game led by rookie sensation Steve Slaton show its power.  

Walter's upside is limited to what he did last season.  He will still be open a lot and should receive around 90 or so targets this season.  This is a contract year for him, and he'll want to prove that last year wasn't a fluke and that he deserves a big free agent contract next year.
