Red Wings' Darren Helm: Looks to be in lineup Friday

Helm (shoulder) is expected to play Friday night on the road against the Sabres.

Analysis:

Helm missed 29 consecutive games, so we'd be hesitant to rush him back into fantasy lineups, though he should make for a decent, low-priced flier in DFS contests given that he does have some offensive flair to his game and not everyone will be aware that he's back in the fold after such a long injury layoff. Prior to the injury, he produced four goals on 28 shots for a 14.3 shooting percentage and provided a pair of scores on the power play. Moreover, Helm boasts plenty of speed on the rush and is heavily counted on during the penalty kill.
