Trends

"Noel was selected by Houston in the third round of April's draft. He has a below-average frame with small hands and short arms, but that didn't stop him from showing well at the combine, where he tied for the highest vertical (41.5) and posted the longest broad jump (131). Primarily a short-range (8.0 aDOT) slot receiver (71%), Noel also worked as a kick and punt returner at Iowa State. Even with Tank Dell unlikely to play this season, Noel will need to battle Christian Kirk, Justin Watson and second-round rookie Jayden Higgins for work behind Nico Collins. He's a long shot for consistent rookie-season production, but is a fine dynasty stash."

"Noel finished with one or fewer receptions for the 11th time in 17 games. He's clearly fifth on the wideout depth chart, but the rookie is set as the team's top punt returner as Houston prepares for the playoffs beginning next Monday in Pittsburgh. Noel finished the 2025 regular season with 26 catches on 35 targets for 292 yards and two touchdowns. He also topped the Texans by averaging 10.8 yards over 31 punt returns."

	Jaylin Noel's target share has decreased by 40.04% over the past 12 weeks.

Kenny Pickett

Draft: RD 1, PICK 20
Injury Status: H

Trends

"Pickett was traded to the Raiders (which came just months after a trade to the Browns) after spending his first three NFL seasons with the Steelers and Eagles. The 2022 first-round pick was serviceable in limited work in relief of Jalen Hurts last season, but struggled as the Steelers' starter during his first two years in the league (6.3 YPA, 13 pass TDs, 13 INTs). Pickett showed some rushing ability as a rookie (55-237-3), but followed with a 42-54-1 line in 2023. Pickett would need a Geno Smith injury in order to see the field, but even if called on to play, Pickett is a long shot to make a leap to fantasy relevance. "

"The Raiders planned to rotate Pickett and Aidan O'Connell at quarterback in the season finale. While Pickett drew the start, he played only the first quarter after being picked off and otherwise struggling to move the offense. After having the fifth-year option on his rookie contract declined, Pickett will be a free agent this offseason and will likely be set to compete for a backup role."

	Kenny Pickett's rushing yards per attempt has increased by 300+% over the past 6 weeks.
	Kenny Pickett's rushing yards have increased by 300+% over the past 6 weeks.
	Kenny Pickett's passing yards per attempt has increased by 140.45% over the past 10 weeks.
	Kenny Pickett's passing yards have decreased by 73.12% over the past 20 weeks.
	Kenny Pickett's completion percentage has increased by 90.13% over the past 10 weeks.
