If I can't draft Andre Johnson, I want Kevin Walter

If I for some reason can't get Andre Johnson in my fantasy drafts, I will overspend to draft Houston's number two Kevin Walter.

Andre Johnson will probably have one of those seasons. What does that mean? Well, one of those seasons that will make you think twice before grabbing him as the first receiver overall in early September of 2010.

The Texans are stacked with fantasy talent. Steve Slaton is getting drafted in the top 10. Matt Shaub is considered as one of the 2nd tier elites. Andre Johnson, like I said, is about to break into the realm of best fantasy receiver. So, what about Kevin Walter?

Kevin Walter is a stud, and the best thing about him? Nobody wants to think Kevin Walter is a stud. What do they call that? Oh yea, a sleeper. Walter is my favorite sleeper.

Andre Johnson led the league in receptions last year with 115, Kevin Walter had just 60. I think that 85 is not unreasonable with Johnson getting the majority of double teams. Andre Johnson led the league in receiving yards with 1575, Walter had 899. Johnson had 8 touchdowns, Walter had 8.

So, if I can't draft Johnson (which I intend and hope to do), I will definitely grab Walter later. And if I can't get Walter, I'll at least need Shaub.
