Helm had a much better rookie season than remembered with a clear pathway to volume; he got on the field immediately as a rookie with 40% of snaps in his first game, and Daniel Bellinger is the tight end two. Chigoziem Okonkwo has departed to Washington, clearing the path. The source compares his range of outcomes to Cade Otton in a season where he scores 8-9 touchdowns, but notes this is a big bet on the Tennessee Titans and Cam Ward's development.

JJ Zachariason is ahead of the market on Gunner Helm, a late-round tight end with poor athleticism scores (due to injury during drills) but strong intangibles. Helm fits the late-round tight-end archetype of an open pass-catching room with ambiguous target distribution. Tennessee has no tight end competing with him (Daniel Bellinger is not a pass-catching threat), so if there's chatter about Helm being a top target—which Zachariason thinks is very possible—he could rise in ADP. Helm is not even ranked on some big platforms.

Article sleeper pick; community consensus strongly negative. 4.17 RAS-level athlete with only two career games >40 yards receiving; no notable per-route or per-snap stats. Ceiling estimated TE15–18 in Titans offense despite WR upgrades. Multiple comments cite lack of rate-stat production (yards per route run, yards per target, yards per team pass attempt) and catch rate as only positive. Year-5 breakout narrative dismissed as classic fantasy trope.

.@​BenjaminSolak lists Gunnar Helm as a potential breakout candidate: “If he's an A-plus in any one trait, it's his ability to track and adjust to the football. He makes the sort of tough downfield catches a TE needs to make in order to become an explosive-play receiver.”

PositiveProjectionJul 2, 2026Fantasy Life Articles
Ranked TE29 in Fantasy Life's pre-2026 rankings with TE25 ADP (pick 180), making him a super cheap late-round dart. Helm built on his enticing rookie season per-route efficiency numbers and could work as Cam Ward's primary red-zone threat. However, a full-time role is far from guaranteed; Brian Daboll's BFF Daniel Bellinger limits Helm's full-time role, leading to him working as the No. 4 pass-game option in a passing game that isn't very good. It's tough to paint the picture of a top-6-level breakout given the new offense figures to predominantly flow through its top-3 receivers.

Matt Kelley highlights Gunnar Helm as a 23-year-old tight end 'no one talks about' who is the starting tight end for the Titans; he is 'locked and loaded, ready to go as our tight end one right now' in Kelley's dynasty league. Kelley expects the Titans to run 11 personnel (three receiver sets) given their thin tight end room, making Helm interesting as a target option in a pass-heavy offense expected to take a big step forward with Cam Ward.
