Jauan Jennings News
Tuesday, October 20, 12:08 PM
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jauan Jennings has had almost no impact on his team's offense so far in 2026, catching just two passes for nine yards on five targets in four games. The 29-year-old signed with Minnesota in free agency over the offseason, but he's been buried on the team's depth chart behind wideouts Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. For the time being, Jennings should not be on the radar of fantasy managers. However, there's been some recent buzz that the veteran wideout could be a trade candidate, specifically to his former team, the San Francisco 49ers. Jennings was a productive player for San Francisco in 2025, hauling in 55 receptions for 643 yards and nine touchdowns on 90 targets across 15 games. If Jennings is traded to the 49ers or another wide receiver-needy team, his fantasy value could skyrocket. In deeper leagues, Jennings could be worth stashing off the waiver wire ahead of the NFL's early November trade deadline.

Jaylin Noel News
Monday, October 19, 2:07 PM
Houston Texans second-year wide receiver Jaylin Noel has stepped up in the last three weeks as the team's WR2 behind Nico Collins with Jayden Higgins (knee) out for the entire season. Noel had his best game of the season in Sunday's 34-31 win over the division-rival Jacksonville Jaguars in London on Sunday, catching all four of his targets for a team-high 107 yards and his second straight week with a touchdown. The 24-year-old former third-rounder from Iowa State now has 12 catches on 12 targets for 233 yards and two touchdowns in the last three games and is on the rise as a waiver-wire candidate. The one downside to Noel's recent resurgence in the Texans' offense is that they just traded for Marvin Harrison Jr. and appear to be getting Tank Dell (knee) back in Week 7 against the New York Giants for the first time since the 2024 season. Still, Houston's offense is on the rise, and Noel has built strong chemistry with quarterback C.J. Stroud, so he could remain firmly involved in the WR pecking order. Noel is currently rostered in 7% of Yahoo leagues, so he is widely available.
