Three catches in Week 7 defeat Helm caught three of four targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Browns.

Impact They marked the tight end's first catches since Week 4, as he went back-to-back games without a grab in Weeks 5 and 6 against the Texans and Colts. Helm has yet to reach 30 yards in a game this season and is well off the fantasy radar in one of the league's worst passing offenses.

Held without target vs. Indianapolis Helm 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.

Impact 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 his 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,

No catches in loss Helm failed to catch his only target during Sunday's 26-3 loss to the Texans.

Impact Helm failed to catch a pass in a regular-season contest for the first time in his NFL career, and the tight end has now garnered two total targets over the last two games. The Titans offense has been far from effective so far in 2026, and Helm has little to no upside from a fantasy perspective.

Good to go for Week 5 Helm (knee) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's AFC South showdown against the Texans, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact Helm popped up on Thursday's injury report as a limited practice participant due to a knee injury. However, the second-year tight end was a full participant in Friday's session, which was enough for him to fade and injury tag for Week 5. Helm saw just one target against the Ravens in Week 4 and has a 9-60-0 receiving line (on 12 targets) through four games.

Pops up on injury report Helm was listed as a limited participant in Thursday's practice due to a knee injury.

Impact Helm didn't appear on the Titans' initial Week 5 injury report posted Wednesday, so his limited participation Thursday could be indicate that he hurt his knee at some point during practice. The Titans will see what Helm is able to do during the final practice of the week Friday before determining if he'll take a designation into Sunday's game against the Texans. The tight end has played more than 70 percent of snaps in each of Tennessee's first four contests but has been a minor part of the passing attack, stringing together a 9-60-0 receiving line on 12 targets.

Logs two-point conversion in Week 4 Helm hauled in his lone pass for five yards and caught a two-point conversion during the Titans' 24-18 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

Impact Helm didn't see a target from Cam Ward until the Titans' final offensive drive of the fourth quarter, with the duo connecting on a 5-yard pass before hooking up on a successful two-point conversion. Helm opened the 2026 regular season with four catches (on five targets) for 28 yards against the Jets in Week 1, but in the three games since, he has logged five receptions (on seven targets) for 32 yards. It's hard to hold much stock in Titans position players outside of rookie wideout Carnell Tate and veteran running back Tony Pollard. Helm and the Titans head back home for a Week 5 AFC South showdown against the Texans.

Quiet again in Week 3 loss Helm notched two catches on four targets for 14 yards Sunday in a loss to the Giants.

Impact Helm and fellow tight end Daniel Bellinger each had two catches in the contest, though Helm garnered two more targets. After opening the campaign with a 4-28-0 line against the Jets, Helm has managed a combined 4-27-0 line across his subsequent pair of games. He'll look to be more productive next Sunday in Baltimore, though Tennessee's passing game as a whole is struggling so far, averaging just 159.0 yards per game -- third-fewest in the NFL.

Produces 13 yards in Week 2 loss Helm caught both of his targets for 13 yards in the Titans' 24-20 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

Impact Through two games, Helm has six grabs for 40 scoreless yards on seven targets. He's nowhere near usable in fantasy in this anemic Tennessee passing offense that hasn't even been able to support a single pass catcher to this point in the season.

SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Secures four passes in loss Helm caught four of five targets for 28 yards in the Titans' 23-10 loss to the Jets on Sunday.

Impact Helm's five targets trailed both Carnell Tate and Wan'Dale Robinson, as the duo drew six targets apiece to lead the team in Week 1. Even more importantly for Helm's fantasy prospects, he ran 22 routes to Daniel Bellinger's five, suggesting he's well ahead of Bellinger on the depth chart as a pass catcher. Helm will be a lower-end TE2 next Sunday against the Eagles.

Ends preseason with one catch Helm finished the preseason slate with one catch (on two targets) for 16 yards in two appearances.

Impact Helm joined the rest of the healthy starters to kick off preseason Weeks 1 and 2, logging 26 offensive snaps between the two contests. He then was rested in Saturday's exhibition finale against the Bears along with QB Cam Ward and company. A fourth-round pick in the 2025 Draft, Helm hauled in 44 of 55 targets for 357 yards and two touchdowns in 16 regular-season games as a rookie, and he'll be looking to build upon those numbers in Year 2 under new offensive coordinator Brian Daboll.

SEPTEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Productive on one catch Helm brought in his only target for 16 yards in the Titans' 19-13 preseason win over the 49ers on Thursday.

Impact With Chig Okonkwo now in Washington, Helm is set to operate as the Titans' unquestioned No. 1 tight end in 2026. Consequently, the second-year pro was on the field with the rest of the starters to open Thursday's game, and he flashed on his one reception, which came during the Titans' opening possession. Helm's 16-yard grab moved the ball into 49ers territory and put his ability to gain yards after the catch on display. Helm already managed a 44-357-2 line across 16 regular-season games as a rookie in a rotational role, so fantasy expectations are understandably elevated now that Okonkwo is no longer a competitor for Cam Ward's attention.

Impact Helm set a franchise rookie tight end record with 44 catches for 357 yards and two touchdowns while suiting up for 16 regular-season games in 2025. Added competition may limit his fantasy ceiling, but a strong offseason would give Helm a chance to earn a larger role in Tennessee's offense, and the departure of Chig Okonkwo for the Commanders opens up notable receiving opportunities. Helm appears the favorite to win the No. 1 tight end job during training camp, with Daniel Bellinger and Kylen Gradson fitting into complementary roles.
