Last week, Jaylin Noel had a 46.3% route share with a 14.3% target share, 77 receiving yards (3.08 yards per route run), and a 16.7% first-read share. Noel has one red zone target and four deep targets. I would love to see to stop doing ignorant things and play him in a full-time role, but this coaching staff doesn’t seem interested in helping C.J. Stroud and the offense operate at optimal efficiency. It’s maddening. I won’t be surprised if he still plays only a part-time role this week, with Braxton Berrios eating into his slot usage. If this coaching staff can get out of their own way, Noel could crush this week. San Francisco has allowed the fourth-most receiving yards and PPR points per target to slot receivers.
