Who Should I Start? Kylen Granson or Gunnar Helm

Saturday, September 13, 12:55 AM

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Kylen Granson could see an uptick in targets in Week 2 with Dallas Goedert (knee) officially being ruled out. In Philly's season opener against the Cowboys, Granson was the only other tight end besides Goedert to tally any targets, though it was just one which resulted in a one-yard catch. The Eagles' other option as a replacement is former sixth-round draft pick Grant Calcaterra, who did see more snaps (37) last week than Granson (17). With uncertainty at the position, neither of Philadelphia's backups seem like reliable fantasy options this week against Kansas City. Only consider them for deeper 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.
