Gunnar HelmTETEN
Helm had 55 targets last year for Tennessee but faces a difficult outlook under new offensive coordinator Brian Daboll. Daboll has never made the tight end position a critical part of his passing attack during his 3.5 years as the New York Giants' head coach. The Giants had the seventh-fewest tight end targets last season (102), the fewest in 2024 (64), and the fewest in 2022 (65). Even after losing Malik Nabers to a season-ending knee injury in Week 4, the Giants still ranked seventh-fewest in tight end targets. Fantasy players should anticipate a second-year breakout is unlikely for Helm.
