Who Should I Start? Will Mallory or Gunnar Helm

Saturday, January 6, 9:48 PM

Indianapolis Colts tight end Will Mallory (hamstring) has been ruled out for the rest of Saturday's game against the Houston Texans. The rookie tight end exited and was ruled out with a hamstring issue during the second quarter. He failed to haul in his lone target of the contest. Kylen Granson and Mo Alie-Cox will be the primary options at tight end for the rest of this contest.

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.
