From the article

The Titans appear hellbent on using Helm as a blocker more frequently than they did last season. That's confusing, because he's a better pass catcher, and the presumption was Bellinger was signed to primarily handle in-line blocking duties. PFF has Helm with 67 run-blocking snaps, compared to Bellinger's 49.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Helm's increased snaps are offset by more blocking duties, limiting pass-game opportunities.

Despite outsnapping Daniel Bellinger 179-85 and playing 78.85% of offensive snaps (up from 50.47% as a rookie), Helm is being deployed as a blocker more frequently than in 2025; PFF credits him with 67 run-blocking snaps versus Bellinger's 49, suggesting the Titans are using him in a role that doesn't maximize his pass-catching ability.
