Gunnar Helm fantasy outlook

Gunnar Helm enters the 2026 season with TEN and ranks TE27 and #181 overall in the current Gridiron Value projection. The model projects 107.7 PPR points across 15.3 games, or 7.0 points per game, placing the expected outcome in a lineup and depth tier. The preseason depth chart lists Gunnar Helm as TE1, so the opportunity forecast is tied to that current role rather than name value alone. In 2025, Gunnar Helm produced 91.7 PPR points in 16 games (5.7 per game), giving the projection a recent performance baseline. Projection confidence is 46%, with a 37% modeled chance of a Top-24 positional finish. The main uncertainty is translating a limited NFL sample into a full-season role.

Week 1 projection

Gunnar Helm is projected for 7.0 PPR points at home against NYJ in week 1, with a likely range of 0.0 to 18.4.
