Who Should I Start? Jaylin Noel or Gage Larvadain

Houston Texans rookie wide receiver Jaylin Noel was on the field for only 15 offensive snaps in Monday night's loss to the Buccaneers, and he was held without a target. Through two weeks, he's seen only two looks, resulting in one catch for seven yards. With the Texans' receiving core currently depleted due to injury, Noel had a prime opportunity to carve out a role. Unfortunately, he has been used primarily as a returner on punts and kickoffs. With Christian Kirk and Braxton Berrios expected to return to practice this week, any hope Noel had of making an early impact seems to have vanished. He can be dropped for a better option in all redraft leagues.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Gage Larvadain carried the ball once for a four-yard touchdown and caught two of his three targets for 23 yards in a 30-10 win over the Carolina Panthers in preseason action on Friday. Larvadain punched in a short touchdown in the third quarter to give the Browns a 21-7 lead. The undrafted rookie out of South Carolina also handled two punt returns, but he ultimately was forced from the game early with what is being called a lower-body injury. Larvadain will hope to be ready to return to the field in time for the Browns' next preseason game, which is set for next Saturday against the Philadelphia Eagles.
