Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection

Young TE with proof and a long runway.

DVS is our model view, scored on Engine-default half-PPR — not a guaranteed price in your league. Bye weeks and schedule strength are left out on purpose.

Player quality

Why this DVS moved off a raw projection.

  • Process ×0.99

    Process residual (not a second production percentile).

  • Combine ×1.00

    Athletic composite 5.3/10 (RAS-like; fades after year 2).

  • Org environment ×1.01

    Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.

Quick answer

Buy

Helm caught 44 passes for 357 yards in 2025, finishing TE33. Age 24 leaves room to grow — if opportunity sticks. Looking at 2026, he's a situational piece unless the role grows. Age is on his side — a reasonable buy if the TE role keeps opening up.
