Jaylin Noel scores as Texans put away TEN late

Jaylin Noel

HOU Wide Receiver

Player Stats

Jaylin Noel caught 5-of-5 passes for 41 yards and a touchdown in Houston’s Week 5 win over the Titans.

Noel added a one-yard carry that made him the team’s leader in wideout touches. His touchdown came as C.J. Stroud extended the play by spinning backwards out of the pocket and floated towards the end zone before delivering a strike to Noel. He still played just 30 of 65 snaps, but there’s a commitment to touches for Noel that seems fantasy-interesting, at least ahead of any Marvin Harrison Jr. news on Monday. He’s a FLEX possibility next week against the Jaguars in London.

Tank Dell

HOU Wide Receiver #1

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Tank Dell (knee) won’t play in Houston’s Week 5 game against the Titans.

He did not practice on Friday and was ruled out. The Texans reportedly pushed hard on Dell in full pads on Thursday’s practice despite the questionable listing, it seems his body did not react as they’d hoped. This leaves Jaylin Noel in a potential FLEX-useful spot against a rough Titans secondary.
Jaylin Noel

HOU Wide Receiver

Jaylin Noel caught 3-of-3 targets for 85 yards in Houston’s Week 4 loss to the Cowboys.

Noel and C.J. Stroud connected on a 52-yard downfield catch that Noel barely had to let up on. He did play 34 snaps, the highest amount he’s had since Week 2, in a telling sign for how the offense is trending. Still, Noel is probably best approached as a deep league boom/bust FLEX play at this point. He’s continually played the game of one step forward, one step back.
Kayshon Boutte

HOU Wide Receiver #14

Kayshon Boutte caught 2-of-2 targets for 21 yards in Houston’s Week 3 loss to the Colts.

Boutte played 35-of-52 snaps, and if that sounds low, it actually lead the team in Nick Caley’s absolutely bizarre WR platoon situation where it seems like he is trying to find someone who he trusts. Boutte looks the best of the bunch, but we can’t recommend trying to eat these non-existent fantasy points. Jaylin Noel (2/17 on two targets) and Jared Wayne (1/20 on four targets including an inexcusable drop) continue to haunt the situation.
Jared Wayne

HOU Wide Receiver #17

Jared Wayne caught 2-of-7 targets for 33 yards in Houston’s Week 2 loss to the Bengals.

Jaylin Noel outsnapped him 44-to-36 for the Texans No. 3 receiver role but Wayne beat Noel out by one catch, two yards, and two targets. “Man starts over again everyday, in spite of all he knows, against all he knows,” Emil Cioran once wrote. And these are the readings C.J. Stroud should get familiar with as he endures another week of this receiving corps in Week 3.
Jaylin Noel

HOU Wide Receiver

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said he “would not be surprised” if Texans WR Jaylin Noel is more involved in Week 2 against the Bengals.

Rapoport adds that Noel is “really talented.” We agree, but the Texans have consistently played WR Xavier Hutchinson ahead of him. Noel, 24, is an explosive player, and the Texans will be looking for playmakers to contribute with WR Nico Collins (hamstring) sidelined this week. Noel is officially on the boom-bust FLEX radar in Week 2 against the Bengals.
Kayshon Boutte

HOU Wide Receiver #14

Kayshon Boutte caught 1-of-2 targets for 21 yards in Houston’s Week 1 loss to the Bills.

Boutte managed just 36-of-79 snaps, third-most among Texans wideouts, as they ran weird platoons that had Jared Wayne, Jaylin Noel, and Xavier Hutchinson all on the field for at least 24 snaps. Until someone conclusively wins this job, or at least we start getting some juice that someone might win the job, it’ll be hard to start any of these receivers in fantasy football.
Jaylin Noel

HOU Wide Receiver

Jaylin Noel (hamstring/finger) returned to practice on Tuesday.

A real “call an ambulance, but not for me” situation here as it was reported that Noel would be out for a few weeks on Sunday. He’s likely only participating in practice in a reduced role based on that. At this point Noel is likely just a bench dart throw in most leagues despite playing objectively well last year.
Jaylin Noel

HOU Wide Receiver

Texans WR Jaylin Noel (hamstring/finger) will be out for “a few weeks” after suffering “a little bit of a setback.”

NBC Houston’s Aaron Wilson noted earlier today that Noel was not participating in practice due to a finger injury, which he suffered in July, and a recent hamstring injury. It turns out Noel’s recent hamstring injury is actually a re-injury. Fellow second-year WR Jayden Higgins has the inside track to the WR2 role. Noel was set to compete with Xavier Hutchinson and WR Tank Dell for the WR3 gig. Instead, he is losing valuable preseason reps. Noel might be best viewed as an early-season waiver wire add.
Jaylin Noel

HOU Wide Receiver

Texans WR Jaylin Noel (hamstring/finger) did not practice on Sunday.

Noel has been dealing with the pinky finger issue since late July, but the hamstring is a recent injury. The second-year wide receiver would ideally be competing for the WR3 role right now, and losing reps could slow him down. He is a risky dart throw, but he flashed talent at times in his rookie season.
Jaylin Noel

HOU Wide Receiver

Texans activated WR Jaylin Noel (finger) from the active/NFI list.

Noel started camp on the NFI list after suffering a finger injury away from the team. The second-year receiver is now back with the team and will face stiff competition for playing time with Tank Dell now back and Xavier Hutchinson and Jayden Higgins also working with the first-team offense. Noel caught 26 passes for 292 yards and two touchdowns in 17 games as a rookie.

Brock Bowers (knee) practiced in full on Thursday.

The Raiders continue managing Bowers’ practice reps early in the week, though he plays unrestrictedly on game day. The Raiders face the Bills in Week 6, likely facilitating a fantasy-friendly game environment. Bowers should be treated as the overall TE1 as usual this week.

49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said Demarcus Robinson (ankle) has an “outside chance” to return in Week 7 against the Falcons.

The 49ers go on bye in Week 8. Shanahan says that Robinson is more likely to return after that, in time to face the Raiders in Week 9. Robinson can be stashed in injured reserve spots, if need be, but he is not a must-stash type of player. Depending on how the 49ers’ wide receiver corps looks, Robinson can likely be snagged off waivers during the bye week for those in need at the wide receiver position.

Jeremiyah Love (ankle) did not practice on Thursday.

Tyler Allgeier should be rostered in 10-team leagues. The Cardinals have downplayed Love’s ankle issues, but two missed practices are not a good sign. He still has a chance to suit up in Week 6 against the Rams, but he is currently on the wrong side of questionable.

Ashton Jeanty (foot) said he is feeling “great” and “ready to go” for Week 6 against the Bills.

The quotes read a tad bit more enthusiastically than Jeanty did while speaking to media members at his locker, but this is still good to hear. Jeanty has been dealing with an ankle injury for a long time, but the team took that injury off the weekly practice report this week. He is now listed only with the foot injury after experiencing “a flare-up of plantar fasciitis” last Friday. Jeanty is a low-end RB1 against the Bills this week.

Seahawks declared LB Drake Thomas, CB Avery Smith, WR Montorie Foster Jr., DT Brandon Pili, QB Jalen Milroe, LB Chazz Surratt and RB Robert Henry inactive for Week 6 against the Broncos.

Thomas is dealing with an ankle injury and needs more time to get healthy. The Seahawks recently signed Henry, a rookie, but evidently he will not play this evening, despite the Seahawks’ running back group being a tad thin due to injuries. The Seahawks face the Broncos on Thursday Night Football.

The Broncos declared QB Sam Ehlinger, OL Kage Casey, TE Dallen Bentley, DL Jordan Jackson and DL Tyler Onyedim inactive for Week 6 against the Seahawks. Ehlinger will serve as the team’s emergency third quarterback.
