2025 Fantasy Outlook
Helm broke out with 60 catches for 786 yards and seven touchdowns as a senior at Texas in 2024 after recording just 236 receiving yards through his first three years with the Longhorns. The 6-foot-5, 241-pound TE ran a disappointing 4.84-second 40-yard dash, and Helm may need to refine his blocking before he earns a consistent role at the NFL level. He was drafted 120th overall by the Titans, and the rookie fourth-round pick will look to earn a role out of the gate in an underwhelming Tennessee tight end room that also includes Chig Okonkwo and Josh Whyle. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a four-year, $5.17 million contract with the Titans in May of 2025.
Estimated as limited
Helm (toe) was listed as limited on Thursday's estimated injury report, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Helm continues to manage a toe injury he initially suffered Week 15, but has managed to play through since. The rookie tight end was also limited in practice Wednesday, so he may need to log a full session Friday in order to avoid being assigned an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Saints. Helm played a career-high 52 offensive snaps (71 percent) versus the Chiefs in Week 16 but only logged two catches for nine yards (on three targets).

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Starter in rookie season?
Matt Miller of ESPN believes Helm could supplant Chig Okonkwo as the Titans' starting tight end during the 2025 season.
ANALYSIS
The Titans committed to using the draft to improve their offense, highlighted by No. 1 overall pick Cameron Ward and fourth-round pass catchers in Helm, Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike. Helm was the rookie that generated the most buzz during Tennessee's training camp outside of Ward, with the former receiving rave reviews from coaches for his toughness and ability to make difficult catches. Okonkwo has started in 30 of 51 regular-season games over the past three years, but Helm could see regular work with the first-team offense if he can establish himself as Ward's safety valve in the passing game.
