Who Should I Start? Jaylin Noel or Chimere Dike

Houston Texans wide receiver Jaylin Noel caught all four of his targets for a total of 35 yards last week against the Jaguars, but his role this week against the Titans remains uncertain. The rookie had at least four catches in three of his four games since the bye week, and he outperformed veteran Christian Kirk last week, while almost matching Kirk's snap share as well. Noel seems to be pushing his way into an expanded role in the Texans' passing game, but with Davis Mills under center in place of C.J. Stroud (concussion) this week, the game plan will likely be run-focused in Tennessee. Noel is only the WR86 in RotoBaller's Week 11 rankings, but his workload is worth monitoring in deep leagues since he could have potential when Stroud returns.

Since the firing of head coach Brian Callahan following a 1-5 start, Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver Chimere Dike has been on a 17-game pace of 65 receptions for 768 yards and seven touchdowns. He has also added two punt return touchdowns in that time while looking explosive anytime he's had the ball in his hands. While most fantasy leagues do not reward players for punt or kick return yardage, Dike is currently on pace to set the NFL record for all-purpose yards in a single season. While the Tennessee offense is still not one that demands its players be started, number one overall pick Cam Ward has shown clear signs of improvement of late and a growing cohesion with his young pass catchers. In deeper leagues, Dike has played his way into flex consideration, and he faces a league-average Jaguars pass defense in Week 13.
