Drops: Gunnar Helm
Adds: Gunnar Helm
Tennessee Titans sophomore tight end Gunnar Helm hasn’t made the desired impact in 2026. What’s going on?
Daniel Bellinger played only 14 snaps and caught one pass for seven yards in the Titans' Week 1 loss, trailing teammate Gunnar Helm in usage and production. Given the struggles of the Tennessee passing game, Bellinger is unlikely to be fantasy-relevant in 2026

Titans tight end Gunnar Helm, a fourth-round pick in 2025, appeared in 16 games, with 10 starts, as a rookie. He ranked fourth on the team with 44 receptions, which set a franchise record for rookie tight ends, and fourth on the team with 357 receiving yards. Helm scored twice and had at least one reception in all 16 games he played. He isn’t satisfied. “There’s always something to go out there and do,” Helm said, via Jim Wyatt of the team website, “ always something to prove , and there’s somebody always coming for your spot.” Heim has a new head coach (Robert Saleh), a new offensive coordinator (Brian Daboll) and new teammates at tight end, with veterans Daniel Bellinger and Kylen Granson and rookie Jaren Kanak joining Helm, David Martin-Robinson and Joel Wilson on the roster this offseason. Helm knows Daboll’s offense utilizes the tight ends, which has him excited about building on his rookie season. “It’s been great,” Helm said. “Obviously [Daboll] is not afraid to use the tight end, did so wherever he’s been. There’s been great clips of like [Rob] Gronkowski [in New England], Dalton Kinkaid [and] Dawson Knox [in Buffalo], just doing things that usually receivers do. Being able to be worked into the offense like that, it’s been great.”
Tight end Daniel Bellinger signed with the Tennessee Titans in March and is expected to have a meaningful role in offensive coordinator Brian Daboll's scheme in 2026. Bellinger played under Daboll with the Giants, where he recorded 88 catches for 934 yards and four touchdowns in his first four seasons. Last year, he had 19 receptions for 286 yards and two touchdowns. While Chig Okonkwo is gone, Gunnar Helm is expected to handle most receiving work at TE, with Bellinger potentially earning consistent snaps as a blocking-first player, making him largely avoidable in fantasy leagues

Daniel Bellinger is poised for a significant role with the Tennessee Titans under new offensive coordinator Brian Daboll, who previously coached Bellinger with the New York Giants. Despite the excitement around Gunnar Helm, Bellinger's three-year, $24 million contract and his superior blocking ability suggest he will share snaps and contribute meaningfully in a potentially more 12-personnel-heavy offense
Easily overlooked behind some of the instant difference-makers at the top of the class, Tennessee Titans tight end Gunnar Helm was one of six rookies at the position to finish 2025 with more than 40 receptions. He now has a clear path to the starting job in 2026, and drastic improvements are expected for a Tennessee offense that finished in the bottom three of passing yards, rushing yards, and points per game in year one of the Cam Ward era. After leading the team in receptions and yards in 2025, tight end Chig Okonkwo has departed in free agency, leaving Helm with plenty of room to grow under new offensive coordinator Brian Daboll. And with Wan'Dale Robinson and fourth overall pick Carnell Tate now forming a respectable trio of wide receivers with Calvin Ridley, the Titans should easily exceed the league-worst 1.9 red zone opportunities per game that stifled the fantasy output of the entire offense in 2025. At RotoBaller's dynasty TE27, Helm is still underappreciated, creating a low-cost buying opportunity for a player who has already shown flashes in a situation that realistically has only one direction to trend
Sleeper status change for Gunnar Helm (12502). Before: status=Active, injury_status=Questionable. After: status=Active, injury_status=
Helm (toe) is participating in OTAs this week, Buck Reising of AtoZ Sports Nashville reports. Helm missed the Titans' regular-season finale back in January but appears to be back to full health after compiling 44 catches for 357 yards and two touchdowns on 55 targets as a rookie last season. With Chig Okonkwo now with the Commanders, Helm looks to win the TE1 job with the Titans this summer. His main competition for playing time will come from blocking types Daniel Bellinger and Kylen Granson
