Gunnar Helm a Bench Stash Against Colts

Saturday, October 17, 8:08 AM

Tennessee Titans tight end Gunnar Helm is a clear bench option in Week 6 against the Indianapolis Colts. The young tight end started the season as a solid short-passing option, but in the last two weeks, he has just one catch on two targets. It seems that quarterback Cam Ward has been looking elsewhere, making it hard for fantasy managers to expect Helm to take advantage of the 23rd-ranked defense in fantasy points allowed to tight ends. Helm could become a solid fantasy option sometime in the near future, but for now, he is more of a dynasty option than a redraft option. Unless Ward shows signs of improvement and the offense manages to score more in coming games, Helm should remain out of fantasy lineups. Despite a great matchup, Helm should not be in fantasy starting lineups in Week 6.

Mason Taylor Deemed Out for Second Straight Game

Friday, October 2, 10:37 PM

New York Jets tight end Mason Taylor (thumb) has been ruled out for Sunday's road game against the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field. It's no surprise that the 22-year-old will miss a second straight appearance after not practicing since injuring his thumb in the team's 20-17 loss to the Packers in Week 2. The trio of Kenyon Sadiq, Jeremy Ruckert, and Jelani Woods will again divvy up the snaps with the second-year pro set to be inactive. It will be interesting to see how the snap share shakes out when Taylor returns to action. When healthy, he led the room by a solid margin, though that could change if Sadiq's Week 3 breakout weren't a fluke.
