Summary
Gunnar Helm carries a 78.0 dynasty score, ranking 34 at TE. Helm’s 44/55 target share and 2 receiving touchdowns indicate a rising production trend, while his age (23) and 3-year contract extension suggest a stable timeline.
Projection Rationale
Helm’s 44/55 target share and 2 receiving touchdowns indicate he is a reliable target in the Titans’ offense. His Verdict efficiency grade at the 47th percentile suggests room for improvement in his efficiency. Helm’s 3-year contract extension and $1.293 million APY provide stability in his role.
Injury Risk
No injury entries in 2025. Gunnar Helm’s Verdict durability grade at the 75th percentile and 23-year-old age profile suggest a low injury risk.
Opportunity Notes
Helm’s snap share trended up to 50.9% in 2025, with a high of 67.0% in Week 14. The Titans’ spread offense and zone-heavy 4-3 defense create opportunities for Helm in the passing game.
Scheme Fit Analysis
Brian Daboll coordinates a spread system with play-action rates projected from his Buffalo 2025 background. The Titans’ 48.9% shotgun rate and 60.8% 11-personnel usage align with Helm’s snap share and target distribution.
Trend Assessment
Rising. Gunnar Helm’s 64th percentile Verdict usage grade and increasing target share (up 12.7% from 2024) indicate he is receiving more opportunities.
Ceiling / Floor
Ceiling: TE4-TE6, if Helm maintains his target share and efficiency improves. Floor: TE8-TE10, if volume decreases or the Titans’ offense struggles.
