Who Should I Start? Feleipe Franks or Gunnar Helm

Atlanta Falcons tight end Feleipe Franks caught all three of his targets for 24 yards, most of which came on a 23-yard catch and run that he was able to take in for a touchdown. Franks also caught one pass for nine yards last week and was not targeted in the first preseason game. He was battling Teagan Quitoriano for the third tight end spot behind Kyle Pitts Sr. and Charlie Woerner, and with Quitoriano not receiving a target in the preseason, Franks appears to have a leg up. Unfortunately, third-string tight ends don't have any value for fantasy, so no need to roster him in any leagues.

Tennessee Titans rookie tight end Gunnar Helm (toe) has been ruled out of Sunday's Week 18 divisional matchup with the Jaguars. Helm was unable to practice this week with the toe injury that he ultimately played through following a week of limited practice participation in Week 17. The fourth-round pick out of Texas finishes his rookie year with 44 receptions for 357 yards and two touchdowns, and is a potential dynasty target this offseason. With Helm sidelined, fourth-year tight end Chig Okonkwo, fresh off back-to-back top-five finishes, becomes a must-start for fantasy managers still competing for a Week 18 championship.
