Quick answer
BuyNoel caught 13 passes for 227 yards in 2026, ranking WR43 through 5 games. Through 5 games he sits WR43, up from WR91 — a climb, not a final rank. The 2026 projection is thin — only roster him if you need the upside. The trend line says buy: this is a climb, not a name you're paying nostalgia tax for.
