Dalton Schultz vs Gunnar Helm
Dalton Schultz holds a 5.3% edge in Superflex dynasty value.Updated 9/19/2026
THE CASE FOR SCHULTZ
Schultz is a known commodity: a steady, startable TE who can give you weekly usability without needing a breakout. At 30, his value is concentrated in the next 1–2 seasons, which fits contenders who just need points and lineup stability. Even with modest ceiling, his floor and role certainty are often more valuable than a young TE bet when you’re chasing a title.
THE CASE FOR HELM
Helm is 23.9 and priced ahead by ~17% in SF market value, reflecting the premium on youth and the possibility he becomes a long-term TE1/TE2. For rebuilders, TE production usually lags, so the timeline fit and insulation from age-related value decay matter more than short-term points. If he earns a meaningful route/target share, his dynasty value can jump quickly because young, productive TEs are scarce.
VERDICT BY TEAM SITUATION
Take Dalton Schultz for the bankable near-term starts unless you’re so deep at TE that you can afford to wait on Helm’s development.
Take Gunnar Helm because the age curve and value insulation outweigh Schultz’s short window.
With only a ~17% gap favoring Helm, it’s essentially team-context driven: points-now (Schultz) vs value-duration/ceiling (Helm).
FREQUENTLY ASKED
Worth more?
Gunnar Helm is worth more in dynasty markets today, but Schultz can be worth more to a contender in starting-lineup value.
Trade?
Contenders should try Schultz + a small sweetener for Helm only if they don’t need TE points now; otherwise flip Helm for Schultz plus an extra pick/player.
Superflex?
SF doesn’t materially change TE scoring, but it does widen the opportunity cost of roster spots, making Schultz more attractive for contenders and Helm more attractive for rebuilders.
