Gunnar Helm to Lose Snaps towith Daniel Bellinger?

Sunday, August 9, 7:29 AM

Tennessee Titans second-year tight end Gunnar Helm has been amid breakout hype for most of the offseason, but one writer believes the hype is as real as advertised. Buck Reising believes that former New York Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger will get the bulk of the snaps as a more well-rounded veteran. His experience in offensive coordinator Brian Daboll's system will make him a factor in this offense. Helm had 357 receiving yards and two touchdowns on 44 receptions last season, while working behind now-Commanders tight end Chig Okonkwo. Helm is ranked as the TE27 in RotoBaller's positional rankings. While there's upside, the second-year tight end appears to be heading toward a timeshare in Tennessee.

Elijah Arroyo News

Elijah Arroyo Punctuates Strong Summer with a Long Touchdown

Monday, August 24, 5:13 AM

Second-year tight end Elijah Arroyo caught the final two passes of Seattle's opening drive in Sunday night's preseason matchup with the Titans, quickly moving the Seahawks from midfield into the end zone. Arroyo caught a 14-yard pass from quarterback Drew Lock on a play designed to motion him into space before the two connected on a 36-yard touchdown strike on the next play. After catching only 15 passes as a rookie, Arroyo has been a training camp standout for the defending Super Bowl champions, and he could find the field frequently in Seattle's tight end-heavy offense, potentially pushing 2025 breakout AJ Barner for some of the more valuable opportunities at the position. With the NFL trending toward more 12 and 13 personnel usage, there is no shortage of draftable fantasy tight ends, so Arroyo is not a player who needs to be targeted as RotoBaller's TE46, but if he can carry the momentum of a solid summer into the regular season, he could quickly work his way into the streaming conversation.
