Who Should I Start? Julian Hill or Gunnar Helm

Miami Dolphins tight end Julian Hill has started each of the first two games for his team this season, while Darren Waller (hip) has been out. With Waller out again in Week 3 when the Dolphins face the Bills on Thursday, Hill will likely get plenty of time on the field once again. He played 51% of snaps in Week 1 and 58% in Week 2. However, all that time on the field hasn't led to any targets. His only contribution has been a successful two-point conversion catch in Week 1. Since he's not getting any looks from Tua Tagovailoa, he's a longshot play in Week 3, coming into the week as the TE45, well off the fantasy radar in all formats, except potentially as a DFS Thursday night contest dart throw.

Tennessee Titans tight end Gunnar Helm caught four of five targets on Sunday for 34 yards, all of which represented the highest totals of his young career. According to Titans OC Nick Holz, Helm catches the ball easily and "could see his targets going up moving forward." The rookie tight end out of Texas was one of three pass catchers selected by the Titans in the fourth round of the 2025 draft. While receiver Elic Ayomanor was the quickest to make an impact, Helm could see his role expand and is someone for fantasy managers to at least keep an eye on for now. Despite the Titans' improbable win on Sunday, Cam Ward has thrown only two touchdowns on the year and is averaging 175.8 passing yards per game, making it difficult to rely on any of the team's pass catchers for fantasy.
