Jaylin Noel News
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.

Ted Hurst News
Friday, June 26, 12:06 PM
After recording 71 catches for 1,004 yards and six touchdowns across 12 games at Georgia State in 2025, wide receiver Ted Hurst was selected by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Hurst may not be expected to contribute right away in a Tampa Bay passing game that already features a deep group of wide receivers in Emeka Egbuka, Chris Godwin Jr., Jalen McMillan, and Tez Johnson. Still, Hurst profiles as a true outside X receiver, which may make him the most logical long-term replacement for former Bucs wideout Mike Evans, who departed the team in free agency. Godwin Jr. and McMillan both battled significant injury issues in 2025, which could be another route for Hurst to find his way onto the field. Dynasty managers should not expect immediate production from Hurst, but he profiles as a worthy stash candidate for rebuilding teams.
