Early consensus fantasy rankings for the 2026 season highlight undervalued Titans players, including Cam Ward and Gunnar Helm. Both are expected to improve significantly after a challenging previous season.
Fantasy expert consensus rankings (âECRâ) are starting to pop up across the Internet, giving managers an early glimpse into how the market might value hundreds of players this summer. As we look ahead to the 2026 season, here are the biggest Titans bargains based on ECR.
Rebuilding teams coming off terrible offense seasons generally have several undervalued fantasy players; the market often doesnât catch up to reality when teams are ascending. This could be said for Tennessee, which last year averaged its fewest points per game since 2014 and its second-fewest since 1994.
Its offensive centerpiece, Cam Ward, realistically has nowhere to go but up. The 2025 #1 overall pick leaned almost entirely on rookie receivers. In fact, perhaps no other rookie quarterback has targeted a higher percentage of rookie receivers in NFL history. All of them are primed to take another step forward, beginning with Ward, whoâs a great bet to outperform his QB25 ECR.
Gunnar Helm is another high-probability bargain. The 2025 fourth-rounder caught 44 of 55 targets last year, while Ward had an exceptional (relatively speaking) 105.8 passer rating when targeting him. Helmâs TE30 ECR assumes essentially no improvement after finishing last season as the TE31. This makes him a solid bargain in deep leagues.
Finally, WanâDale Robinsonâs WR44 ECR is partly based on the belief that catching passes from Ward will be a step down from catching passes from Jaxson Dart, Russell Wilson, and Jameis Winston. Robinson will enter 2026 as his new teamâs #1 WR, supported by a quarterback capable of feeding a #1. Itâs a terrific combination, and one that makes his poor ranking an investment opportunity.
