Jaylin Noel Stands Out at Minicamp, Top Slot Option in Houston?

Saturday, June 13, 10:11 AM

Houston Texans wide receiver Jaylin Noel stood out as a winner at the team's veteran minicamp, according to Jared Koch of Sports Illustrated. Per Koch, Noel "stood out as the clear top option in the slot for Houston's air attack." A third-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Noel recorded 26 receptions for 292 yards and two touchdowns on 35 targets across 17 games as a rookie. The 23-year-old spent most of 2025 in a reserve role behind veteran wideout Christian Kirk, but Kirk has since departed Houston for the San Francisco 49ers. The return of Texans wide receiver Tank Dell (knee) from the knee injury that cost him the entire 2025 season could create a new barrier to playing time for Noel. However, it appears that Noel is a key piece of Houston's game plan on offense heading into training camp. His stock in both dynasty and redraft formats could continue to rise throughout the summer with a strong performance in training camp.

Elic Ayomanor News

Is Elic Ayomanor Still Worthy of a Dynasty Roster Spot?

Friday, June 5, 12:50 PM

A fourth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Tennessee Titans wide receiver Elic Ayomanor hauled in 41 catches for 515 yards and five touchdowns on 89 targets across 16 games as a rookie. Particularly with veteran Titans wideout Calvin Ridley limited to just seven games played due to injury, Ayomanor saw extended playing time in Tennessee. However, his place on the depth chart is far less certain entering 2026. The Titans signed wideout Wan'Dale Robinson in free agency, drafted Ohio State wide receiver Carnell Tate fourth overall in the 2026 NFL Draft, and re-worked Ridley's contract to keep him around for 2026. Ayomanor may even be behind fellow 2025 fourth-rounder Chimere Dike, who impressed with his versatility as a rookie. As a big-bodied ball-winner on the outside, Ayomanor retains some long-term upside. However, his dynasty stock has fallen considerably in the wake of Tennessee's offseason.
