Noel caught his first TD of the season in the fourth quarter of the Texans' 26-3 blowout win over the Titans. He hauled in all five of his targets for 41 yards while adding an extra yard as a rusher for a career-high 15.2 PPR points. Noel finished Week 5 ranked as a WR2.
2026 Fantasy Football Impact: Marvin Harrison Jr. Arrives
One week after producing a career-high in receiving yards, Noel was the Texans’ highest-scoring non-QB on his way to a career-high in PPR points.
Noel commanded a 15.2% target share that tied WRs Xavier Hutchinson and Kayshon Boutte for the second-highest on the offense. While WR Nico Collins led the team in targets, his 10.6 PPR points marked a season-low.
Unfortunately, Noel’s recent success is now met with WR Marvin Harrison Jr joining the offense after being acquired in a trade with the Cardinals. This leaves the second-year WR’s path for targets even more difficult after already commanding a 9.9% target share that ranks 85th among all WRs.
The Texans' upgraded offense faces a Jaguars defense in Week 5 that was allowing the second most receiving yards entering this week.
