Who Should I Start? Nate Adkins or Gunnar Helm

Sunday, October 12, 1:28 PM

Denver Broncos tight end Nate Adkins scored his first touchdown of the season on Sunday to help his team defeat the New York Jets 13-11 in London. The third-year tight end finished the day having caught both of his targets for 23 yards, and his 16-yard scoring connection with quarterback Bo Nix proved to be the only touchdown of the game. Even with his first touchdown in the books, Adkins has just four catches on the season. Behind fellow tight end Evan Engram, who led the team in targets on Sunday, Adkins is unlikely to receive enough volume to be considered for fantasy lineups going forward.

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.
