Who Should I Start? Theo Johnson or Josh Whyle

Monday, November 10, 2:52 PM

New York Giants tight end Theo Johnson caught a season-high seven passes for 75 yards in Sunday's Week 10 loss to the Bears. Since Jaxson Dart took over as the Giants' starting quarterback in Week 4, Johnson has been on a 17-game pace of 66 catches for 644 yards and 12 touchdowns, putting him squarely in the every-week starter conversation. Unfortunately, Dart left Sunday's game with a concussion and will now need to clear protocol before retaking the field, but the Giants boast one of the most tight-end-friendly schedules down the stretch, with fantasy playoff matchups against both the Commanders and Vikings. While the Giants organization faces turmoil in a week that saw head coach Brian Daboll fired, the connection between Dart and Johnson seems legitimate. As long as the rookie signal-caller doesn't face a prolonged absence, Johnson is a valuable streaming option that should be available on most waiver wires.

Tennessee Titans tight end Gunnar Helm was listed as the team's second tight end on the first unofficial depth chart, behind only Chig Okonkwo and ahead of Josh Whyle, who was the team's second tight end last year. The Titans drafted Helm out of Texas with the No. 120 pick in the fourth round of the NFL Draft after he logged 60 catches for 786 yards and seven touchdowns in Texas's quick passing game. Helm had a bad combine, potentially due to injury, but he has earned playing time with a strong training camp and could become a favorite target for rookie quarterback Cam Ward. Helm and the Titans start preseason on Saturday in Tampa Bay, and it will be important to see exactly how the tight end work is divided going into Week 1 against the Broncos.
