Gunnar Helm Joins the Titans

The Titans selected Texas TE Gunnar Helm in Round 4 of the 2025 NFL Draft. Helm played behind TE Ja’Tavion Sanders as a sophomore and junior but broke out in his 2024 senior campaign. He led the Longhorns with 60 catches and ranked second to only WR Matthew Golden with 786 yards and seven TDs. Helm’s 21.1% Dominator Rating ranked eighth among 21 TEs at the Combine. The 6’5, 241-pounder sprained his ankle while running the 40 at the Combine, so don’t put much stock into his 4.84-second time. Helm looks plenty athletic on tape, regularly making contorting catches and dodging defenders in the open field. He averaged 7.0 yards after the catch per reception last year, forcing a missed tackle on 20% of his grabs. He also has some of the most reliable hands in this TE class, with a career 2.5% drop rate. Helm’s route running and blocking need some work, but he has the tools to develop into an NFL starter and fantasy factor.

2025 Fantasy Football Impact

Helm will compete with TEs Chig Okonkwo and Josh Whyle for rookie-year snaps. The rookie is unlikely to make a fantasy impact in any format. 

Dynasty Impact

Okonkwo is only signed through the 2025 season. Whyle is signed for two more seasons.

Consider it a strong landing spot for Helm, especially following the arrival of QB Cam Ward.
