Nate Noel

It’s increasingly rare in the transfer portal era to find two stars at the same position willing to share carries in the name of helping the team, but that’s what Appalachian State has in Noel and backfield mate Camerun Peoples. While Peoples is more of the known quantity, Noel was the breakout star last season, running for 1,128 yards and four touchdowns. The Miami native still figures to rack up great yardage numbers this season, but the goal line touches will likely go to the bigger Peoples, which limits Noel’s fantasy value. Still, with the Mountaineers’ passing game suffering losses at the wide receiver position, Noel could potentially be leaned on even more to make hay.
