James Mitchell News
Wednesday, March 11, 9:28 AM
The Carolina Panthers re-signed tight end James Mitchell to an undisclosed one-year deal on Wednesday, a league source told Joseph Person of The Athletic. Mitchell was a restricted free agent. Mitchell will return to Carolina for a second season in 2026 after catching all three of his targets for 28 yards in just five games played a year ago. The 26-year-old was drafted in the fifth round (177th overall) by the Detroit Lions in 2022 out of Virginia Tech. In his first three years in the league in Detroit, Mitchell had 13 receptions on 13 targets for 141 yards and one touchdown in 29 games played (one start). He is not anywhere close to fantasy relevance in Carolina and will serve in a depth role at TE once again behind the likes of Ja'Tavion Sanders, Tommy Tremble, and Mitchell Evans.

Gunnar Helm News
Sunday, June 14, 11:59 AM
A fourth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Tennessee Titans tight end Gunnar Helm recorded 44 receptions for 357 yards and two touchdowns on 55 targets across 16 games as a rookie. Given where he was drafted and the underwhelming offensive environment around him in Tennessee, Helm's production was an encouraging sign for dynasty managers. He also spent the entire season splitting playing time with fellow Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo, who signed with the Washington Commanders in free agency earlier this spring. While Tennessee backfilled its tight end room by signing veterans Daniel Bellinger and Kylen Granson, Helm now profiles as his team's clear TE1. He should also be playing in a more productive Titans offense in quarterback Cam Ward's second NFL season and the team's first under the command of new play-caller Brian Daboll. In dynasty formats, Helm profiles as a clear buy-low candidate ahead of what could be a breakout year.
