Gunnar HelmTETEN
Day three tight end who immediately got on field as rookie, playing 40% snaps in first game and progressing to 65%, 51%, 70%, 58% through season in Brian Daboll's Tennessee Titans offense. Positioned for 60-catch season and Gary Barnidge-style breakout; likely undrafted in many leagues but should be drafted. Bieniemy expects waiver wire spike by week three with potential 87% route rate, 19% target share, and two touchdowns. Prospect profile shows 49 yards per game in college and 4.32 RAS, though combine metrics are unreliable due to ankle sprain on first drill; played with all NFL-caliber teammates at Texas and is underrated as prospect positioned well in Cam Ward offense with Tennessee Titans revitalization.

The thing that I liked about Gunner Helm was that he immediately got on the field as a rookie. It's very hard for day three tight ends to do that. He played 40% of the snaps in his very first NFL game. Started really coming on down the stretch, playing 65, 51, 70, and 58% of the snaps... I think he probably should be. It is not going to surprise me at all when when, you know, the cover of everyone's week three fantasy football waiver wire article is, 'Oh my gosh, Gunner Helm is running 87% of the routes for the Tennessee Titans. He has a 19% target share, and he has two touchdowns through three weeks.' This is the profile to me of a guy who can kind of just put up one of those random Gary Barnidge style seasons... I do think he is very well positioned to have like a 60 catch season for a guy who is straight up not being drafted in a ton of fantasy leagues.
