News: 4 days agoHelm was on the field for 33 of 46 offensive snaps (71.7 percent) but didn't show up on the box score otherwise during the Titans' 26-20 win over the Colts on Sunday.

Spin: Helm has seen his role on offense steadily decline since his four-catch performance in Week 1 against the Jets. He's been held without a catch in each of the last two games and has seen only two targets from Cam Ward over the Titans' last three games. Tennessee's offense is one of the worst units in the league this season, and it's hard to put much stock into any of the position players outside of rookie wide receiver Carnell Tate and, to a lesser extent, veteran running back Tony Pollard. The Titans will head back home for Week 7 against the Browns on Oct. 25,

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Helm quietly caught 44 passes during his rookie season, which -- believe it or not -- ranks 11th among rookie tight ends over the past decade. Impressively, the 2025 fourth-round pick hit that mark despite playing second fiddle to starter Chig Okonkwo. Helm, who caught a healthy 79% of his 56 targets, wasn't much of a fantasy option as a rookie (5.7 PPG), but with Okonkwo out of the picture, he's positioned for a much larger role in his second season. Helm will need a leap from QB Cam Ward, but if that happens, a breakout season is possible. The 24-year-old is worth a late flier in deeper leagues.
