TE TEN Week 3 · PPR

Start or sit Gunnar Helm?

The verdict comes from our weekly projection model: last season's opportunity-based xFP/g shrunk toward the position mean, then adjusted for role, injury status, the opponent's fantasy points allowed and the Vegas game total vs the league average.

Sit

TE29 — below the ~13 started in 12-team leagues.

Sit call: Gunnar Helm projects for 6.2 PPR points this week, ranked #29 among TEs by our projection model. @NYG is a tough matchup for TEs — the model applies a -7% swing to his projection. Vegas posts the total at 44.5 — 98% of the 45.6 league average for week 3.
