Who Should I Start? Julian Hill or Gunnar Helm

Friday, November 14, 12:05 PM

Miami Dolphins tight end Julian Hill (ankle) upgraded to a full practice on Friday and has been removed from the final Week 11 injury report, meaning he'll make his return on Sunday against the Washington Commanders in Madrid, Spain. Hill will put an end to a three-game absence due to an ankle injury, but fantasy managers can continue to look elsewhere. Darren Waller (pectoral) remains on Injured Reserve, but the 25-year-old Hill will be battling for limited targets with Greg Dulcich against Washington. Before his ankle injury, Hill had only 10 catches on 13 targets for 77 yards and no touchdowns. He is still looking for his first NFL touchdown after debuting for the Dolphins in 2023. Fantasy managers desperate at the TE position should be able to find better options on the waiver wire.

Tennessee Titans interim head coach Mike McCoy said that he wants to see more completions from his offense, which means more targets need to go rookie tight end Gunnar Helm's way, according to Turron Davenport of ESPN. It's been a struggle for Tennessee's offense this year with rookie Cameron Ward leading the unit. The 23-year-old Helm only has 187 receiving yards and one touchdown, but he's been efficient with his chances, catching 20 of his 25 targets through his first nine NFL games. Coming out of their bye week, the Titans may focus on getting Helm the ball more, although that could prove difficult if top wideout Calvin Ridley (hamstring) returns this weekend against the division-rival Houston Texans for the first time since Week 6. The reality is that unless Chig Okonwko misses time with an injury, it's likely that Helm isn't going to be anything more than a low-end TE2 play in fantasy football.
