Who Should I Start? Roman Wilson or Jaylin Noel

Friday, September 12, 11:21 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson did not see the field much in the season opener and will hope for more involvement in Week 2 against the Seattle Seahawks. Wilson logged just 10 of a possible 56 offensive snaps in Week 1, well behind starting wideouts DK Metcalf and Calvin Austin III. With Wilson competing alongside Ben Skowronek and Scotty Miller for the WR3 role, and Pittsburgh showing a willingness to utilize multiple tight ends, his path to meaningful opportunities remains narrow. As a second-year player who struggled to stay healthy as a rookie, Wilson may emerge at some point, but he should only be viewed as a stash in dynasty formats and cannot be considered in redraft lineups this week.

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.
