Gunnar Helm vs Terrance Ferguson: Who Should You Start?
This is a genuine coin flip on paper. Gunnar Helm finished the 2025 season at 4.4 PPG over 16 games with the Tennessee Titans, while Terrance Ferguson clocked in at 3.3 across 14 appearances for the Los Angeles Rams. A 1.1-point gap means any given week could go either way.
With a margin this thin, season averages are not the deciding factor. Weekly variables like opponent defense, game script, and injury status carry more weight than a fraction of a PPG. The right start in Week 6 might be the wrong start in Week 14.
Gunnar Helm is the volume tight end in this matchup with 44 receptions for 357 yards, while Terrance Ferguson profiles as a more touchdown-dependent spike play (3 scores on 11 catches). In weeks where Terrance Ferguson finds the end zone he out-scores Gunnar Helm, but the floor gap is real.
One scheduling note: Gunnar Helm is off Week 5 and Terrance Ferguson Week 6. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in tight end for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.
