Noel, with Nico Collins sidelined last week, ran a route on 62 percent of Houston's drop backs, a big jump from his Week 1 usage. Against the slot-vulnerable Colts coverage unit, Schultz is a must-start in 12-team leagues and Noel should be flex-viable in PPR formats if you're down bad at wideout. That goes out the window if Collins is back in the Houston lineup.

Noel is flex-viable in PPR vs. Colts if Collins stays out; 74% slot rate.

Noel should be flex-viable in PPR formats against the Colts' slot-vulnerable secondary in Week 3. He has run 74 percent of his routes from the slot in the Texans' first two games, and with Nico Collins sidelined in Week 2, Noel ran a route on 62 percent of Houston's drop backs—a significant jump from his Week 1 usage. The Colts have allowed the highest QB rating on slot throws and are 26 percent above expected completion rate when targeting the slot. This benefit is contingent on Collins remaining sidelined.
