Gunnar Helm vs Juwan Johnson
Juwan Johnson holds a 50.3% edge in Superflex dynasty value.Updated 10/2/2026
THE CASE FOR HELM
Helm’s 9.3% higher SF value plus a ~6-year age edge gives him the better multi-year insulation at a notoriously volatile position. If he earns even a modest route/target role in Tennessee, his dynasty value can climb quickly because young, usable TEs get priced up fast. For rebuilders, he’s the cleaner bet to retain or gain value through the season even if early production is uneven.
THE CASE FOR JOHNSON
Johnson’s path to usability is clearer: he’s a known red-zone/profile TE who can give you startable weeks when the Saints’ target tree condenses. For contenders, those spike-week TD lines matter more than long-run value preservation. His cost is slightly lower, and if he hits early, you can flip him to a TE-needy team for profit in-season.
VERDICT BY TEAM SITUATION
Prefer Juwan Johnson if you need points/TD volatility now; otherwise take Helm for better value stability.
Prefer Gunnar Helm because the age/value edge makes him the stronger asset to hold or grow.
It’s close enough that roster construction decides: Johnson for immediate TE2 fill-in, Helm for any team prioritizing longevity and liquidity.
