Gunnar Helm vs Oronde Gadsden II: The Full Breakdown
Two tight ends who will land on plenty of the same rosters in 2026. Gunnar Helm (Tennessee Titans) finished the 2025 season averaging 4.4 fantasy points per game in 16 games. Oronde Gadsden II (Los Angeles Chargers) came in at 7.1 PPG over 15 games. The gap is real but not insurmountable with the right matchup.
Oronde Gadsden II carries a 2.7-point PPG advantage from the 2025 season. That baseline matters, but it is one input among several. Matchup difficulty, scoring trends, and injury reports move the needle week to week, which is why the best answer changes depending on when you are asking.
Both see steady target volume for the tight end position. Gunnar Helm had 44 catches for 357 yards; Oronde Gadsden II posted 49 for 664. At a position where most starters barely clear 7 PPG, this class of tight end is where the fantasy advantage lives week to week.
Gunnar Helm has his bye in Week 9, and Oronde Gadsden II rests in Week 7. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at tight end for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
