Their 2025 seasons

In 2025 Gunnar Helm played 16 games and scored 91.7 PPR points, 5.7 a game, finishing TE31.

He caught 44 of 55 targets for 357 yards and 2 touchdowns, with 7 red zone targets.

That came to 3.4 targets a game, a 80 percent catch rate and 8.1 yards a catch.

He was on the field for 53 percent of the snaps in the games he played.

Eli Raridon is a rookie, so there is no NFL season behind him to price him against.

Head to head

This season Gunnar Helm holds the bigger snap share, 76 percent against 51 percent.

Their target share this season is the same, 8 percent each.

What would change the answer

1.0 points a game is the entire case. The market restates it every week, and a line that moves moves the order with it.

The draft market is the half that is missing: when live drafts hold these two again they can order them differently from the projection, and this page will follow the drafts rather than the market-based projection when they do.
