Who Should I Start? Charlie Kolar or Gunnar Helm

Saturday, November 8, 10:21 AM

Baltimore Ravens tight end Charlie Kolar has scored a touchdown in two consecutive games, and he'll look to extend that streak in Week 10 against the Minnesota Vikings. The 26-year-old is averaging just 0.8 catches per game this season, but he has three receptions and two touchdowns in his last two contests. The biggest obstacle between Kolar and a three-week touchdown streak is his role on the depth chart. He remains stuck behind productive tight ends Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely. While Kolar has been able to get on the field for more than one-third of the snaps in each of the last four weeks, Lamar Jackson still prefers throwing to Andrews and Likely. Therefore, Kolar scoring a touchdown in Week 10 is far from a lock. He can be left on waivers in all fantasy leagues.

After earning at least five targets across three straight games from Week 11 through Week 13, Tennessee Titans tight end Gunnar Helm hauled in just one catch for eight yards on two targets in Week 14 against the Cleveland Browns. Across 13 games overall this season, the 23-year-old rookie has recorded 37 catches for 298 yards and a touchdown on 46 targets. On the bright side, Helm played a season-high 67% of Tennessee's offensive snaps against Cleveland. However, the Titans continue to split tight end snaps between Helm and veteran Chig Okonkwo, limiting the ceiling for both players. In Week 15, the Titans will take on a San Francisco 49ers defense that ranks as a mid-pack unit against the pass. Still, Helm is difficult for fantasy managers to trust and should likely be avoided as a starter in Week 15.
