Noel takes opening kickoff 34 yards to start drive Houston Texans wide receiver Jaylin Noel returns the opening kickoff for 34 yards.

Disappointing debut Sunday Noel had one reception on two targets for seven yards in Sunday's 14-9 loss to the Rams.

Impact The third-round rookie failed to capitalize on the absence of wideouts Christian Kirk (hamstring) and Braxton Berrios (hamstring). Noel finished with the lowest output of any player with a reception, while finishing in a tie for eighth amongst Houston receivers in targets. With Kirk expected to return soon, Noel's fantasy prospects appear bleak to begin the fantasy campaign.

Impact Both Kirk's duties out of the slot and Berrios' as a punt returner appear as if they'll fall on Noel's shoulders in the latter's pro debut. A rookie third-round pick, Noel racked up an 80-1,194-8 line on 125 targets at Iowa State last season and also turned 13 punt returns into 199 yards (15.3 per), earning Big 12 Co-Special Teams Player of the Year in the process. Noel, along with rookie second-rounder Jayden Higgins, will be in the mix for targets from QB C.J. Stroud behind top WR Nico Collins.

Could play more early with WRs hurt Noel could see an expanded opportunity Sunday against the Rams, as both Christian Kirk and Braxton Berrios are dealing with hamstring injuries, the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Noel could work in the slot if Kirk sits out, while fellow Iowa State rookie Jayden Higgins starts on the outside opposite Nico Collins. If Berrios doesn't play, Noel could also add punt return responsibilities to his ledger. Per Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston, Kirk is expected to miss 1-2 weeks as a result of his hamstring injury.

Jaylin Noel shows his speed down the sideline for 19-yard pickup Houston Texans wide receiver Jaylin Noel scoots through the Carolina Panthers punt return team for a 19-yard gain and change of possession.

Snags two passes Saturday Noel caught both his targets for 16 yards in Saturday's 20-10 preseason loss to the Vikings.

Impact The 2025 third-round pick slightly out-performed fellow rookie Jayden Higgins, although both young wideouts were overshadowed by veterans John Metchie (5-45-0 on eight targets) and Braxton Berrios (3-33-1 on three targets). Nico Collins and Christian Kirk should be C.J. Stroud's top two options when the regular season begins, but Higgins and Noel could be locked in a battle for the No. 3 spot straight through training camp and the preseason.
