Gunnar Helm vs NYJ — Low-Scoring Environment Dampens Season Debut
Helm enters his second season atop the Titans' tight end depth chart ahead of Daniel Bellinger and Kylen Granson, but he faces a modest offensive environment in Week 1 with a game total under 40 points against the Jets.
While recent injuries to wideouts Carnell Tate and Wan'Dale Robinson could free up minor target volume, our models project Helm for just 3.2 receptions and 26 yards (7.1 fantasy points). With an 8% roster rate and only 1% start rate, fantasy managers should leave him on the bench in standard leagues.

Kenyon Sadiq at Tennessee — Scaled-Back Role Limits Week 1 Value
Rookie tight end Kenyon Sadiq enters Week 1 questionable after undergoing offseason hernia surgery. Although he returned to consecutive practice sessions, offensive coordinator Frank Reich noted the Jets plan to scale back his workload and work him in slowly. Sadiq sits behind Mason Taylor on the depth chart, pointing to limited route participation in Sunday's road clash with the Titans. Fantasy managers should monitor inactive lists before kickoff to ensure he suits up.
With managed snaps expected in a low-scoring environment, Sadiq is not a viable starting option. Our weekly projection forecasts just 1.9 receptions for 18 yards (4.4 fantasy points) on roughly two targets. His start rate sits below 3% for good reason; fantasy managers should keep the talented rookie stashed on benches until he claims a full-time role in the offense.
