Rest-of-Season Outlook and Availability
Outlook
Chig Okonkwo's exit to Washington hands Helm the primary pass-catching tight end job, with Daniel Bellinger projected mainly as a blocker. Cam Ward's late-season strides matter here, and the projected jump to roughly 50 catches and 427 yards reflects that bigger workload. Going around TE25 at an ADP near 176, he's a low-cost streamer with breakout equity rather than a set-and-forget starter. Behind him on the depth chart: Daniel Bellinger. Full outlook

Gunnar Helm Rest-of-Season Outlook
Target-heavy depth TE for deep leagues only
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished TE31 last season at 5.7 points per game.
Our Take After Week 4
Through 3 games he's TE37 at 4.5 PPR points per game, against 5.7 over 16 games last season (TE31). He's running behind last season's pace.
Last season he ranked 33rd of 81 in route participation (43.3%), 24th of 82 in target share (10.4%) and 27th of 82 in efficiency (1.32 yards per route run). His points come from his target share. Route participation is the soft spot. Cam Ward is his quarterback.
The main risk is the job itself. He's the listed starter with Daniel Bellinger next on the depth chart, and a benching or an injury would take his value to zero overnight.
The next favorable matchups are the Colts in Week 6 (7th against TEs) and the Browns in Week 7 (10th against TEs).
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 17, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
Helm's rookie tape sketches a real foundation. Across 16 games he ran 270 routes, drew a 10.4% target share and turned 55 looks into 44 catches for 357 yards and two scores, hauling in 80% of what came his way with a clean 3.6% drop rate. The 1.32 yards per route run and modestly positive 0.07 EPA per play are solid markers for a 22-year-old playing 52.6% of snaps, and eight red-zone targets hint at scoring upside if the role grows.
Chig Okonkwo's exit to Washington hands Helm the primary pass-catching tight end job, with Daniel Bellinger projected mainly as a blocker. Cam Ward's late-season strides matter here, and the projected jump to roughly 50 catches and 427 yards reflects that bigger workload. Going around TE25 at an ADP near 176, he's a low-cost streamer with breakout equity rather than a set-and-forget starter.

Gunnar Helm Fantasy Outlook FAQ
What is Gunnar Helm's fantasy outlook for the rest of the 2026 season?
Gunnar Helm projects as a target-heavy depth TE for deep leagues only for the rest of the 2026 season: a bench stash in TE-premium leagues and waiver-wire material in 12-team and 10-team leagues. His target share (10.4% target share, 24th of 82 TEs in 2025) supports that. His route participation (43.3% route participation, 33rd of 81 TEs in 2025) holds him back. See his live rank in Redraft Command.
What is Gunnar Helm's rest-of-season fantasy ranking?
Gunnar Helm is the TE37 in PPR points per game through Week 4. That puts him in depth TE territory, waiver-wire material in 12-team leagues.
What is Gunnar Helm's projected role going forward?
Gunnar Helm is the listed starting TE, with Daniel Bellinger next on the depth chart. Nothing on the chart threatens the job, so the role is his to lose on performance.
Will Gunnar Helm get more targets?
Gunnar Helm's targets are holding steady: 3.0 a game over his last two games against 3.7 for the season. His share of the offense is what his fantasy value rides on.
What is Gunnar Helm's fantasy football upside?
Gunnar Helm's upside: his ceiling this season is 6.8 PPR points (Week 1, TE24), his target share (10.4% target share, 24th of 82 TEs in 2025) gives him a weekly floor to build on and the Colts in Week 6 and the Browns in Week 7 are top-10 matchups for TEs.
What could hurt Gunnar Helm's fantasy value?
Gunnar Helm's risks: Daniel Bellinger is next on the depth chart if he is benched or hurt and his route participation (43.3% route participation, 33rd of 81 TEs in 2025) limits his scoring. See his injury status and history.
How difficult is Gunnar Helm's remaining fantasy schedule?
Favorable: of his next seven games, 4 come against a top-10 matchup for TEs and 1 against one of the stingiest defenses, by PPR points allowed to the position.

If Helm Misses Time
Next man up: Daniel Bellinger
Daniel Bellinger is next on the Titans depth chart at tight end. Tight end targets would mostly move to the receivers, so he's a streaming option at best if Helm misses time.
Who else it affects
His absence would move work to the rest of the offense, and Cam Ward would lose one of his main options.
