Elite rookie efficiency; TE2 through week 10; breakout in year two
Second-year tight end breakout candidate with elite rookie efficiency and volume trajectory. Had tale-of-two-seasons rookie year: in first 10 weeks, he was TE11 with 21% target rate and over 600 yards; fell apart from week 11 onward, averaging five points per game. Was third in NFL targets as a rookie despite playing second half with suboptimal QB play; ranked TE2 in fantasy through week 10 with 2.13 yards per route run—better than Brock Bowers' historically great rookie season. Had most yards from scrimmage by any power conference tight end in any season ever. Averaged over 7 yards after the catch in first 10 weeks, making him a perfect counter to two-high shell coverages. With Michael Pitman Jr. gone, Warren will replace short and intermediate target volume, be on the field consistently, and see increased usage in year two more in line with his early-season performance. Characterized as a 'blunt instrument' or 'hammer looking for a nail' type of tight end—a catch-and-run, space-creation archetype similar to Tucker Craft and vintage George Kittle, rather than a precise route runner. One of the Colts' best offensive players, with the offense expected to focus on getting him the football frequently in year two.
