Trends

"Smith was selected by the Chiefs in the seventh round of April's draft. He is one of the smallest RBs in this class (194 pounds) and, while he ran a solid 4.39 40 at the combine, he showed poorly in the vertical (32.5) and broad (117). A converted WR, Smith was elusive but otherwise pedestrian as a rusher in his lone season as a collegiate RB. He'll open his career behind Isiah Pacheco, Kareem Hunt and Elijah Mitchell, and may settle in as a kick returner/reserve in the pros."

"Smith continued his role as the de facto No. 2 running back in Week 11 with Isiah Pacheco (knee) sidelined, but he was not a major part of the Chiefs' offensive plans in the contest. The rookie played 12 of Kansas City's 70 offensive snaps, while teammate Kareem Hunt dominated the backfield snap share with 56 snaps. Week 11 marked just the third time this season that Smith did not handle a single carry. Despite the Chiefs praising the SMU product for his playmaking ability earlier in the season, the team has not seemed committed to using him more in Pacheco's absence. Smith remains difficult to trust for fantasy purposes, even if Pacheco remains sidelined for a Week 12 matchup against the Colts."

"Helm was selected by the Titans in the fourth round of April's draft. His career 80% catch rate is best in this class (min. 25 targets), but he wasn't used a ton (99 targets and a 6% share in 55 games) in a good Texas offense. He underwhelmed at the combine, running a 4.84 40 at 241 pounds and posting a class-low 30-inch vertical. Helm will handle backup duties behind Chig Okonkwo, and is not a short-term fantasy option."

"The Titans showed at least a modest amount of offensive spark, and Helm was a bright spot in the loss. He tied for the team lead in targets and also paced the team in receptions and yards. Helm is emerging as Cam Ward's top target, especially with Calvin Ridley (lower leg) and Elic Ayomanor (hamstring) on the shelf, and the rookie tight end has recorded at least five targets in three of Tennessee's last five games. Helm's fantasy appeal is still limited, as he's been used exclusively in short areas of the field and has topped 35 yards only twice in 11 games."

	Gunnar Helm's target share has decreased by 25.99% over the past 6 weeks.
