Helm got 12 snaps with the starters but ran five routes to Bellinger's six. By EPA per play, Cam Ward was the NFL's worst quarterback (min. 300 plays) in 2025. He was unlikely to provide enough passing output to make a full-time tight end viable for fantasy managers. It would be stunning for him to elevate a part-time tight end to even TE2 numbers.

Helm's snap edge offset by Ward's poor passing efficiency outlook

Helm got 12 snaps with the starters but ran five routes to Bellinger's six; the tight end competition remains close, though Cam Ward's poor 2025 performance (worst EPA per play among qualifying QBs) makes it unlikely either tight end reaches TE2 numbers.
