Gunnar Helm vs. Eagles: Deep-League Streaming Option in Defensive Battle

Operating as Tennessee's primary tight end ahead of Daniel Bellinger, Helm opened the season with an efficient four receptions for 28 yards on five targets. While his downfield opportunities remain modest, he has solidified himself on the field as a reliable short-yardage outlet for rookie quarterback Cam Ward.

Our weekly projection tabs Helm for roughly 3 catches and 25 receiving yards against Philadelphia. With Tennessee entering as home underdogs in a projected low-scoring contest, negative game script could provide a slight bump in targets, but his lack of high-value red-zone looks keeps him strictly as a deep-league play or desperate streaming dart throw.

Outlook AJ Barner

AJ Barner at Arizona — Low-Floor Option with Backup Quarterback Under Center

Barner enters Week 2 fully healthy after practicing in full following an oblique issue, operating as Seattle's primary tight end. Seattle frequently utilizes two-tight-end sets alongside Elijah Arroyo, but the passing attack takes a hit with starting quarterback Sam Darnold ruled out with a hip injury, leaving Drew Lock under center.

After catching two passes for 13 yards in Week 1, fantasy managers have largely moved away from Barner, with his start rate sitting at just 1%. Our weekly projection expects around 3 receptions for 29 yards in a projected low-scoring divisional matchup. Without established red-zone volume or Darnold available, Barner is best left on fantasy benches this week.
