WR Jaylin Noel, HOU (10 Viewers)

[Ilov80s]

It’s ok I’m 43 and got mixed up on typing. I

Wait your only 43? Damn. That changes things quite a bit...

Don’t judge me, I used to be younger I swear.

This kid is a freak. Look forward to seeing it translate on the field:

2025 Combine:
4.39 40 (9th among WR’s, 18 Overall)
41.5 Vert (1st WR, 2nd Overall)
11.2 Broad Jump (1st WR, 2nd Overall)
6.82 3-Cone (T-5th WR, T-8th Overall)
4.17 Shuttle (4th WR, 8th Overall)
23 Bench Reps (1st among WR’s by four reps, more than all but two TE’s and two LB’s, tied most of any RB, two more than Tyler Booker)

 

[Soulfly3]

Love him. Didn't watch any preseason but weirded by his usage...

Think his upside is Tank x1.5

Ironically a Christian Kirk or Doug Baldwin type of career would be a good trajectory. Power slot and shifty.

Jaylin Noel has looked good in preseason and camp. What are the realistic odds he makes a year one impact? I know you mentioned you like him more than Higgins and would be interested to learn more about why.

Jaylin Noel: Can't really figure out how he gets on the field a ton right now with Kirk in the mix and Higgins ticketed for outside work but I am very confident he's a good player who would shine if given opportunities in this offense with that QB.

Alright ladies and gentleman it's finally time for the Texans season to finally start! 5th lowest scoring O/U game so this should be a solid defensive effort which I think will end up being the difference. The Texans defense could easily end up being the "best" defense in the NFL led by the second best edge rusher in Will Anderson Jr. on one side and the other Danielle Hunter an elite top 10 defensive end. Should see tons of pressure on Stafford and will test his health should see tons of pressure.
As Texans' fans knows this will be Stroud's rebound season...

Texans rookie Jaylin Noel angers Ravens after doing Ray Lewis dance on first career touchdown

 

[WaltonGoggins]

Would love to see a solid game for Noel to build off his game vs Ravens.

Picked him up last week in case he became something with Kirk out.


Kirk could lose his job to this kid.

Kirks only in Texas for 1 year,think they would rather develope Noel and keep giving him playing time if he's playing great ya just can't take him off the field even when Kirk returns from his hammy.

I think Noel just took the #2 wr role on the Texans.. Kirk nothing special.

 

[FarFromHome]

If both Nico and Kirk are out dude obviously should be in all lineups.

Why? I know nothing about him.

Also would you rather flex him or Schultz in the above scenario?

He's on my watchlist in bye week hell along with the likes of A. Pierce, J. Reynolds, and T. Franklin.

 

[FarFromHome]

Had his best game this past week. 7 targets 4 reception 77 yards. That was with Nico and his 10 targets. If Nico and Kirk are both out this guy will walk into 10 targets. At home against an average Niners defense. Schultz had been mediocre at best until last week. Tough call, but is roll with the rookie over him if Nico and Kirk are out. All my opinion and reserve the right to block you if he has 2 receptions for 13 yards. Ha ha

Kinda like K Bourne turning back into a pumpkin after his 2 huge games. He went back to who he is.

.kinda hoping Noel can pull a Bourne and have great game and maybe become the wr2 if Kirk keeps getting injured and gets outperformed by Noel.
Kirks on 1 yr contract,he's not the future,so maybe if Noel keeps playing well has big game this week n maybe next week,the wr2 is his ros.

Here’s my Jaylin Noel dilemma.

I plucked him off the waiver wire last night for the exact reason you stated — no Nico and no Kirk likely makes Noel a target focus.

However, when waivers ran I noticed someone dropped Tez Johnson. With Evans and Godwin out, Tez Johnson likely remains productive. He’s had a TD the past two games. So I put in a waiver claim for Tez.

Who would you prefer for Week 8 (Noel vs. SF or Tez @ NO)? And who would you prefer for the rest of season?

Tez 100%

 

[FarFromHome]

In the end, this isn't an exact science and football is always gonna football. This is my logic. Tez will immediately have less targets then Emeka while Noel should immediately lead that wr room in targets. Game script. With Mayfield not 100% and playing the 1-6 Saints I can see a scenario where the Bucs are confident they can win this game with Baker throwing it 25 times. Texans and Niners is the weeks closest Vegas spread. Texans ain't the best rushing team, they gonna have to throw. If Kirk and Nico out give me Noel over Tez. Imo

But TBs offense is LIGHT YEARS better than Hou

For sure. If you decide who you should start based on which offense is better then you start Tez. It's a great argument. I'm posting my thoughts on it. I'm just some guy trying to read the tea leaves like everyone else. I also dont want to be this pro Noel guy. I'm not. I just think that if the top two wrs on the team are out and they are playing the Niners at home it sure has the ingredients to taste good. Imo

while Noel should immediately lead that wr room in targets

I’m not sure about this part. Hutchinson could as easily be the target leader. It’s really difficult to predict because we don’t yet know where top coverage is going to roll.

Hutch has averaged 3 targets a game this year. His previous two full season waaaay less. Once again, I'm reading tea leaves and guessing, but I just don't see a big bump for him. Que the Hutch 12 target game right? Ha ha. Football will always football.

 

[Terpman22]

Every Weds I go into mfl sort FAs %added/owned

Shocked to see this guy as a FA this AM bc someone dropped him.

And that was knowing nothing about these other WRs injuries.

One of the easier free rookies I’ve got this year

I think he may be a better Nico replacement is all.

Yeah, it's a bit murky. Schultz will be his favorite target and I can see Hutchinson filling the Nico role. Should be more opportunities for Noel though.

They’re all “what the heck” flexes during a BYE week though. Psyched to have Schultz in a TEP. Bummed to have Nico in a league where I can’t ever seem to field a complete originally intended starting lineup.

Similar to what the heck, WTF is how this team is coached. It seems no matter how obvious it is, the staff will favor veterans. The Chubb over Woody thing is puzzling but with Kirk hurt they bring in Berrios out of the woodwork. It really makes no sense when you spent high draft capital on two rookies who look more than capable.

Only thing that has me worried but I'm expecting to lose this week with my guys on bye. So giving it a shot.

 

[Drake Hater]

Just picked him up and will likely start this week. Hate this offense and team but the targets should be there.
