Gunnar Helm vs Jake Ferguson
Jake Ferguson holds a 39.9% edge in Superflex dynasty value.Updated 9/24/2026
THE CASE FOR HELM
Helm is 3.6 years younger, which matters at TE where peak production often comes later and careers can be long. At a materially lower SF value, he’s the better bet for value growth if he earns a consistent route/target role in Tennessee. He’s the kind of cheaper TE swing that can appreciate fast with one season of reliable weekly usage.
THE CASE FOR FERGUSON
Ferguson is valued higher because he’s already proven he can handle an NFL starting workload and deliver usable fantasy weeks. For contenders, his role stability and near-term points are worth paying for versus betting on development. The higher price reflects lower uncertainty, not just raw ceiling.
VERDICT BY TEAM SITUATION
Take Jake Ferguson—bankable snaps/targets matter more than age discounts when you’re pushing points.
Take Gunnar Helm—the age/value gap gives you a better chance to gain dynasty equity if he hits.
At a 25% value gap, default to Ferguson for win-now and Helm for rebuild; otherwise use roster need (TE starter vs upside stash) as the tiebreaker.
