Thoughts/projections on Kevin walter this season? I realize he is battling Jacoby Jones for playing time at teh #2 WR for the Texans, and Owen Daniels is back...

Jones is the guy to have--his ADP is rising

Avoid Walter, grab Jones. He's far more talented, and could be poised for a breakout year. He's been very under the radar this offseason.

I like Kevin Walter for where you can get him. He had two seasons of good production in 2007 and 2008 where he was top 20 in many formats. Jacoby Jones is coming along but Houston made a pretty strong financial committment to Walter and I see them still using him extensively. Walter has been going off the board in 12 team PPR leagues in the middle teen rounds, that seems like a steal. Folks are wanting Jones to become a 70 catch WR2 on this team and I don't see that happening. Walter had some issues last year but I think he will bounce back nicely and outperform his ADP.

This is pretty accurate, even if Jones "wins" the number 2, I doubt that it will be a clean number two. My guess is that both might wind up as good bye week flier types, but really frustrating for anyone wanting regular WR3 numbers out of either guy. I will say that barring an AJ injury the one more likely to have a explosive breakout is Jacoby, but that is a low percentage play, just on this side of a long-shot.
