Who Should I Start? Kalif Raymond or Jaylin Noel

Sunday, October 12, 7:10 PM

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond (neck) is officially active for Sunday's Week 6 contest against the Kansas City Chiefs. He was listed as questionable after logging back-to-back limited practices. Raymond had been a productive special teamer through the first four weeks of the season and also caught at least one pass in each of those games. However, he exited early in Week 5, finishing with a three percent snap share and zero receptions. He'll look to return to his Week 4 form, which included two catches, 13 receiving yards, and a special teams touchdown. For now, given his role behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams in a crowded offense, Raymond can be left on waivers.

The Houston Texans "would like to find ways to work rookie wide receivers Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel" into the lineup more, according to Dan Graziano of ESPN. The Texans were happier with their offense in the Week 5 win over the Baltimore Ravens, in which they scored over 40 points, with Higgins and Noel combining for six catches on seven targets for 45 yards. Higgins actually played a season-high 56% of the offensive snaps on Sunday, while Noel was in on 30% of the snaps. It's going to be hard to keep both Higgins and Noel involved in the offense consistently from week to week as long as Nico Collins and Christian Kirk remain healthy. However, it's a good sign for both Higgins and Noel that Houston's offense finally appears to be clicking and that they will continue to find ways to get them involved. It's hard to justify rostering Higgins or Noel in 12-team fantasy leagues at the moment.
