I. Player News & Analysis

ESPN	RotoWire	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 is coming off a promising Week 5, when he caught two of three targets, had a red-zone target and scored his first NFL touchdown. When Kirk was healthy, Noel operated as the fifth wideout, but he moves up Week 7. The rookie wideout will help fill the Kirk void along with Xavier Hutchinson and fellow rookie Jayden Higgins. Houston is expected to deploy a gameplan that focuses on running the ball, but if the Seahawks second-ranked run defense (79.0 YPG allowed, second in NFL) shuts it down, then Noel and the receivers will take on a greater profile."
