Tennessee Titans interim head coach Mike McCoy said that he wants to see more completions from his offense, which means more targets need to go rookie tight end Gunnar Helm's way, according to Turron Davenport of ESPN. It's been a struggle for Tennessee's offense this year with rookie Cameron Ward leading the unit. The 23-year-old Helm only has 187 receiving yards and one touchdown, but he's been efficient with his chances, catching 20 of his 25 targets through his first nine NFL games. Coming out of their bye week, the Titans may focus on getting Helm the ball more, although that could prove difficult if top wideout Calvin Ridley (hamstring) returns this weekend against the division-rival Houston Texans for the first time since Week 6. The reality is that unless Chig Okonwko misses time with an injury, it's likely that Helm isn't going to be anything more than a low-end TE2 play in fantasy football.

Tennessee Titans rookie tight end Gunnar Helm has teased fantasy upside in his first NFL season and scored his first career touchdown in the Week 8 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. However, Helm followed that up with one catch for 15 yards in last week's loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. The 23-year-old has a bright future, but in a struggling Titans offense led by rookie quarterback Cameron Ward, he hasn't been much more than a TE3 with upside in fantasy leagues this year. The fourth-round selection out of Texas enters the Week 10 bye with 20 total catches for 187 yards and one touchdown on his 25 targets. Helm is really not much more than a dynasty/keeper stash for the time being, as long as Chig Okonkwo stays healthy. With that said, Tennessee may look to get Helm more involved in the offense for the second half of the season.

Tennessee Titans offensive coordinator Nick Holz had some good things to say about rookie tight end Gunnar Helm on Tuesday, saying he is "developing quickly, which is tough to do for tight ends." Holz also said Helm has been "impressive physically." Helm is now up to 19 catches for 172 yards and one touchdown on 24 targets in his first eight NFL games. The 23-year-old isn't a household name yet or anything like that in fantasy, but he should be on the radar as a young, rising TE. He has played at least half the team's offensive snaps in three of the last four games, and he found the end zone for the first time in his career in Sunday's loss to the Indianapolis Colts. If the Titans ship Chig Okonkwo away at the trade deadline, Helm will become popular on the waiver wire, and he should continue to see his role grow in Tennessee's offense.

Tennessee Titans rookie tight end Gunnar Helm appears to be a first-year player on the rise. Over the last three weeks, Helm has recorded 10 catches for 85 yards on 13 targets, bringing his season-long totals to 17 catches for 149 yards on 21 targets across seven games. After starting the season as the clear TE2 in Tennessee behind Chig Okonkwo, Helm has been stealing playing time away from the veteran as the year progresses. Still, Helm has yet to play more than 66% of the Titans' offensive snaps in any game this season. Additionally, Tennessee has been one of the NFL's worst offenses, which limits Helm's ceiling. He cannot yet be trusted for consistent fantasy production, but Helm is a name to monitor, particularly in deep leagues.

Tennessee Titans tight end Gunnar Helm caught four of five targets on Sunday for 34 yards, all of which represented the highest totals of his young career. According to Titans OC Nick Holz, Helm catches the ball easily and "could see his targets going up moving forward." The rookie tight end out of Texas was one of three pass catchers selected by the Titans in the fourth round of the 2025 draft. While receiver Elic Ayomanor was the quickest to make an impact, Helm could see his role expand and is someone for fantasy managers to at least keep an eye on for now. Despite the Titans' improbable win on Sunday, Cam Ward has thrown only two touchdowns on the year and is averaging 175.8 passing yards per game, making it difficult to rely on any of the team's pass catchers for fantasy.

Tennessee Titans offensive coordinator Nick Holz said that rookie tight end Gunnar Helm has been a "bright spot," and his physicality has "exceeded the team's expectations," according to Jim Wyatt of TennesseeTitans.com. Helm has been picking things up well, and Holz expects his "opportunities to increase." The 23-year-old fourth-round selection out of Texas caught all three of his targets for a season-high 27 yards in the Week 3 loss to the Indianapolis Colts and followed it up with just one reception for 12 yards in this past Sunday's shutout loss to the Houston Texans. The good news is he matched his season high snap percentage (40%) in Week 4, and he could begin to see more playing time as the Titans search for their first win. Unfortunately, for fantasy purposes, Helm probably won't be on the radar in single-year leagues unless Chig Okonkwo misses time with an injury.

Tennessee Titans tight ends coach Luke Stocker recently praised rookie tight end Gunnar Helm, calling his growth as a blocker "tremendous." A fourth-round pick out of Texas, Helm has logged six catches for 52 yards through the first three games of his NFL career. The 23-year-old remains firmly behind veteran Chig Okonkwo on Tennessee's tight end depth chart. Still, Helm may be slowly proving to his coaching staff that he's worthy of more snaps and a larger offensive role. Helm is not yet worth rostering in redraft fantasy leagues, but he's a name to monitor in deep leagues and could be a breakout candidate if Okonkwo were to suffer an injury.

Tennessee Titans rookie tight end Gunnar Helm has been active in the first two weeks of the 2025 season, but he's been minimally involved in the offense to begin his career. Helm played just over 33 percent of the offensive snaps in the Week 2 loss to the Los Angeles Rams while securing both of his targets for only nine yards. Through his first two NFL games, the fourth-rounder out of Texas has three catches on four targets for 25 yards. So far, he has been targeted in the short areas of the field by rookie quarterback Cam Ward and is the clear No. 2 TE behind Chig Okonkwo in Tennessee. Helm may become a bigger part of the Titans' offense as the season unfolds, but for now, unless Okonkwo misses time with an injury, he belongs on the waiver wire in single-year fantasy formats.

Tennessee Titans tight end Gunnar Helm logged five receptions for 64 yards and a touchdown on and was PFF's highest-graded player at the position this preseason. The Titans invested a fourth-round pick in the Texas product, and it could prove to be a steal should Helm continue to impress. While Chig Okonkwo is expected to start in 2025, he is entering the final year of his rookie contract, potentially opening the door for Helm to take over next season. Still, Helm's strong preseason suggests he is likely to have a role as a rookie as he works to build rapport with quarterback Cameron Ward early on. He shouldn't be prioritized in most redraft leagues, but Helm belongs on the radar for all fantasy managers heading into the regular season.

With all teams now through the preseason and working on roster cuts, Tennessee Titans rookie tight end Gunnar Helm was his team's highest-rated preseason player. Playing in all three contests, Helm did most of his damage in the second game against the Falcons, in which he caught four balls for 48 yards and a score. His overall score of 84.7 reflects solid work as both a run and pass-blocker, as well, and trails only Tyler Warren amongst 2025 rookie tight ends. The 6'5", 250-pound 4th-round pick enters the season as the team's number two tight end behind Chig Okonkwo, but in an offense looking for playmakers, it should come as no surprise if the team finds ways to get them both on the field. Helm is a low-risk add for dynasty rebuilders.

Tennessee Titans tight end Gunnar Helm was listed as the team's second tight end on the first unofficial depth chart, behind only Chig Okonkwo and ahead of Josh Whyle, who was the team's second tight end last year. The Titans drafted Helm out of Texas with the No. 120 pick in the fourth round of the NFL Draft after he logged 60 catches for 786 yards and seven touchdowns in Texas's quick passing game. Helm had a bad combine, potentially due to injury, but he has earned playing time with a strong training camp and could become a favorite target for rookie quarterback Cam Ward. Helm and the Titans start preseason on Saturday in Tampa Bay, and it will be important to see exactly how the tight end work is divided going into Week 1 against the Broncos.
