Who Should I Start? Jaylin Noel or Chimere Dike

Tuesday, January 6, 11:47 AM

Houston Texans rookie wide receiver Jaylin Noel showed flashes at times this season, ending with 26 catches for 292 yards and two touchdowns while playing all 17 games. Noel's snap share never climbed above 50% in a game this season, though, and he only cleared 30% in six contests. The rookie third-rounder doesn't project to be a significant piece of Houston's passing game heading into Monday night's Wild-Card matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. With Noel's role in the offense not expanding, he doesn't profile as a reliable option for fantasy managers in playoff leagues.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Chimere Dike has carved out a steady role in the team's passing game over the back half of the season, offering PPR appeal for owners in Week 18. Dike notched his fourth straight appearance with at least five targets on Sunday. While fantasy managers may gripe about his yardage totals, the 24-year-old has been a helpful asset for most of 2025, ranking as the WR31 since Week 7. Perhaps more importantly, he played only behind teammate Elic Ayomanor in Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Saints. If that trend holds, a consolidated target share to the duo and tight end Chig Okonkwo is a strong possibility in the season's final week. Furthermore, rookie quarterback Cameron Ward's improved play has been a boon to the offense overall recently.
