Jaylin Noel News

Jaylin Noel An Intersting Sleeper Vs. the Giants

Saturday, October 24, 3:55 AM

Houston Texans wide receiver Jaylin Noel has started to gather some good momentum over the last few weeks as an emerging option for QB C.J. Stroud. Noel led the team with 107 yards and a touchdown last week against the Jaguars, catching all four of his targets. He has caught every one of his 14 targets over the last four weeks, and he has found the end zone in each of the team's two wins this season over the Titans in Week 5 and the Jags in Week 4. While Marvin Harrison Jr. and Tank Dell (knee) could have larger roles on the outside moving forward, Noel workload in the slot should be mostly secure, especially with so many strong showings. The second-year receiver is in a favorable matchup this week against the Giants' banged-up secondary, and he is the WR40 in RotoBaller's Week 7 PPR rankings, making him a fringe FLEX option in deep leagues.

Woody Marks News

Woody Marks Set Up for a Heavy Workload

Saturday, October 24, 3:08 AM

Houston Texans running back Woody Marks is in a situation that sets him up to be very busy in his Week 7 matchup with the Giants, making him a solid option for fantasy football lineups. Marks will need to carry most of the workload in the backfield for Houston with David Montgomery (groin) and Jawhar Jordan (quad) both ruled out. Jordan stepped in with Montgomery out last week and had a good game in London, but this week, the team will be even more reliant on Marks. In each of the last two games, Marks has exactly 15 carries. He finished with 62 rushing yards against the Titans and 56 rushing yards against the Jaguars, but this week, he's in a more favorable matchup against the Giants, who have allowed six running back touchdowns in six games and have allowed at least 99 rushing yards to running backs in each of the last three weeks. With plenty of work in a favorable spot, Marks is the No. 14 RB in RotoBaller's rankings for this week, making him a strong RB2 in standard-sized leagues and a good starting option in almost all formats.
