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.

Ruled out for season finale
Helm (toe) has been ruled out for Sunday's season finale against the Jaguars, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
With Helm unavailable, Chig Okonkwo is slated to lead the Titans' Week 18 TE corps, with David Martin-Robinson also in the mix, while Cole Turner is a potential practice-squad elevation. Helm finishes up his rookie season with a 44-357-2 line (on 55 targets) in 16 contests. With Okonkwo in line to become an unrestricted free agent, the 2025 fourth-rounder could be positioned for an expanded role in 2026, pending the Titans' offseason moves at that tight end position.

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.
