Who Should I Start? Jaylin Noel or Keandre Lambert-Smith

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.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Keandre Lambert-Smith is a healthy scratch for the team's Week 11 contest on Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Lambert-Smith was unable to play in the Week 10 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers due to a hamstring injury, but the 23-year-old fifth-rounder returned to a full practice this week and was cleared of his injury. There was some hype around Lambert-Smith during training camp, but he has really only contributed on special teams for the Bolts in his first year in the NFL. He has been active for six games in his rookie campaign, catching just one of four targets for one yard. Lambert-Smith should only be stashed right now in dynasty/keeper leagues.
