Gunnar Helm Fantasy Stats

After earning at least five targets across three straight games from Week 11 through Week 13, Tennessee Titans tight end Gunnar Helm hauled in just one catch for eight yards on two targets in Week 14 against the Cleveland Browns. Across 13 games overall this season, the 23-year-old rookie has recorded 37 catches for 298 yards and a touchdown on 46 targets. On the bright side, Helm played a season-high 67% of Tennessee's offensive snaps against Cleveland. However, the Titans continue to split tight end snaps between Helm and veteran Chig Okonkwo, limiting the ceiling for both players. In Week 15, the Titans will take on a San Francisco 49ers defense that ranks as a mid-pack unit against the pass. Still, Helm is difficult for fantasy managers to trust and should likely be avoided as a starter in Week 15.

Tennessee Titans rookie tight end Gunnar Helm has led the team in targets in back-to-back games, and ran more routes than fellow tight end Chig Okonkwo for the first time this season in Week 13's loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Helm has recorded at least five targets in three straight games, totaling 16 receptions for 103 yards on 19 targets. The rookie fourth-rounder ranks as the TE13 in total PPR points during that span. Helm draws a tough matchup in Week 14 against a stout Cleveland Browns defense that has allowed the seventh fewest receptions to opposing tight ends this season. Despite the recent uptick in usage, Helm still profiles as a deep-league option in Week 14.

Tennessee Titans rookie tight end Gunnar Helm led the team in targets for a second straight game in Sunday's loss to the Jaguars. While his six catches on seven targets totaled only 23 yards, he has recently become a primary option in a Titans' passing game with no clear Alpha. His 12 receptions over the past two weeks trail only Trey McBride at the tight end position and are second only to Ashton Jeanty amongst all rookies. With favorable matchups in two out of three fantasy playoff games, Helm is a readily available waiver option that can be used as part of a streaming committee down the stretch, particularly in full-PPR leagues.

Tennessee Titans tight end Gunnar Helm is coming off his best performance of the season. Helm hauled in six of his seven targets for 51 yards during the loss to the Seattle Seahawks. The rookie tight end has stepped up his play recently with 10 receptions over his last two games. His role in the offense could increase this weekend with Chig Okonkwo (foot) currently questionable for the Week 13 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. If he sits, Helm would take over as the primary tight end in this offense for at least one game. Regardless, Helm has done enough lately to be worth a look as a TE2 in deep leagues for this weekend.

Tennessee Titans rookie tight end Gunnar Helm posted his best game of the season in Week 12 against the Seattle Seahawks, recording six receptions for 51 yards on seven targets. Helm had the most catches in receiving yards for the Titans on the day and tied fellow rookie Chimere Dike for the lead in targets. The rookie tight end's role in the offense has slowly been increasing as the season has gone along, with two of his three highest snap shares of the season coming in the past two weeks after their Week 10 bye. Helm and veteran tight end Chig Okonkwo have played the same number of snaps in the past two games, with the rookie out-producing him. Helm is a young player to consider adding as a TE2 in deeper leagues for Week 13 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Tennessee Titans rookie tight end Gunnar Helm had one of the most productive games of his young career in Week 12 against the Seattle Seahawks, recording six catches for 51 yards on seven targets. Across 11 games this season, the 23-year-old has hauled in 20 receptions for 267 yards and one touchdown on 37 targets. Encouragingly, Helm's role in the offense has grown in recent weeks, as he's been targeted 12 times over his last two outings. Helm continues to split snaps with Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo, but both players were on the field for exactly 48 offensive snaps in Week 12. With Tennessee leaning more heavily on two-tight end sets since their Week 10 bye, Helm could be an under-the-radar breakout candidate down the stretch of the season. At the very least, Helm is a player to monitor for deep-league fantasy managers heading into a Week 13 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Tennessee Titans rookie tight end Gunnar Helm had one of his better performances in Sunday's Week 11 loss to the Houston Texans, catching four of his five targets for 29 yards. Helm's four catches and five targets both tied his season-highs in the 16-13 loss, a game in which rookie receivers Elic Ayomanor (hamstring) and Chimere Dike (chest) were both injured. In his first 10 NFL games, the 23-year-old fourth-rounder has caught 24 of his 30 targets for 216 yards and one touchdown. Helm hasn't turned heads in 2025, but he does have at least one catch in all 10 of his games, and the Titans could be looking to get him the ball more in the final stretch of the season. He will be a more intriguing TE streamer in deeper fantasy leagues if Ayomanor is unable to play. Also in his favor is the matchup against Seattle, a team that has allowed the sixth-most half-PPR fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends.

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.
