Gunnar Helm vs Mark Andrews
Mark Andrews holds a 32.1% edge in Superflex dynasty value.Updated 10/2/2026
THE CASE FOR HELM
Helm gives you a ~7-year age advantage at a position where breakouts can come later, making him a clean dynasty hold in rebuild timelines. He’s priced like a developing TE, so any role growth can create outsized value gains versus paying for past production. If your roster isn’t ready to win now, Helm preserves flexibility while you wait for the next usable scoring jump.
THE CASE FOR ANDREWS
Andrews is still the better bet to deliver startable weekly TE scoring in the near term, which is what wins contenders leagues. Even at 30.9, he carries proven ceiling and a clearer path to meaningful target volume than a young, unproven TE. The price gap is only 5.7%, which is a small premium for bankable TE1/TE2 output when chasing a title.
VERDICT BY TEAM SITUATION
Take Mark Andrews—paying ~5.7% more for near-term reliability at TE is worth it when points matter most.
Take Gunnar Helm—the age insulation and potential value appreciation fit a rebuild better than holding a 31-year-old TE.
If you’re truly on the fence, default to Andrews for 2026 points; default to Helm if you won’t contend until 2027+.
FREQUENTLY ASKED
Worth more?

Trade?
Contenders should try Helm + a small add for Andrews, while rebuilders should flip Andrews for Helm plus a 2nd-ish value buffer.
Superflex?
Superflex doesn’t materially change this TE-vs-TE call—team timeline and TE scoring need should drive the decision.
