"Giddens was selected by the Colts in the fifth round of April's draft. He has a solid frame and showed well at the combine, with a 4.43 40, 39.5-inch vertical (second best among RBs) and 130-inch broad (second best). He was solid efficiency-wise as a collegiate rusher but struggled with drops and may cap out as an early-down option. He'll battle Tyler Goodson for primary backup duties behind feature back Jonathan Taylor and, thus, has some late-round insurance appeal."


"Giddens appears to have been bypassed by Ameer Abdullah in the pecking order for carries. Abdullah had two carries for 19 yards, including a carry early in the third quarter. It was assumed Giddens would be the running back who would get the most work if Jonathan Taylor were to get hurt, but Abdullah's emergence the last two games puts that in doubt. However, Tyler Goodson could emerge as the No. 2 running back when he returns from a groin injury. However, Jonathan Taylor is getting almost every touch in the backfield in non-blowouts, so any of his backups isn't likely to have much production."

"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."
