PositiveProjectionSep 7, 2026
Tyler Warren is a high-floor tight end who produced immediately as a rookie in 2025, finishing as TE7 with 112.5 PPR points. With Daniel Jones healthy again, Warren benefits from a quarterback who has always leaned on tight ends in the passing game. Jones' late-season injury disrupted the offense and directly impacted Warren's production last season. With stability back at quarterback and Warren fully healthy, his target volume, chain-moving reliability, and natural chemistry position him for another strong season as a safe and consistent tight end option.

Tyler Warren's 2025 rookie season showed a significant production split: over his first 10 games, he averaged 5.0 catches, 61.7 receiving yards, and 11.1 half-point PPR fantasy points per game with four touchdowns; over his last seven games, he averaged 3.7 catches, 28.6 receiving yards, and 5.6 half-point PPR fantasy points per game with one touchdown. He finished as TE5 with 76 catches for 817 yards and five total touchdowns (four receiving, one rushing), leaving a challenging evaluation for 2026.

Warren finished TE10 in fantasy points per game as a rookie in 2025 but was TE4 in expected fantasy points per game, indicating natural regression ahead. He ranked fifth in red zone targets and eighth in end zone targets but only had four receiving touchdowns, suggesting touchdown upside. On a per-route basis among 59 qualifying tight ends, Warren ranked sixth in target share, ninth in receiving yards per game, 18th in yards per route run and first downs per route run, and sixth in first-read share. The source projects Warren as a top-five tight end in 2026, though the addition of Keenan Allen increases week-to-week volatility.

Groin injury not currently believed to be serious, but worth monitoring given he's coming off excellent rookie season and being drafted as top-four tight end. Colts initially indicated he could miss roughly a week, but he has continued to be limited. Biggest question isn't whether he'll play Week 1, but whether he'll have enough practice time to enter season at full strength. Additional target competition from Alec Pierce coming off PUP list and Keenan Allen now on board.

Warren had a fantastic rookie season as TE10 in fantasy points per game but was TE4 in expected fantasy points per game, suggesting natural regression ahead. He ranked fifth in red zone targets and eighth in end zone targets among tight ends but only had four receiving touchdowns, leaving meat on the bone. Among 59 qualifying tight ends, he was sixth in target share, ninth in receiving yards per game, 18th in yards per route run and first downs per route run, and sixth in first-read share.

Tyler Warren ranked fifth among tight ends in red-zone targets and eighth in end-zone targets last season but had only four receiving touchdowns to show for it, indicating significant TD upside. Among 59 qualifying tight ends, he was sixth in target share, ninth in receiving yards per game, 18th in yards per route run and first downs per route run, and sixth in first-read share. With Pittman Jr. gone, his target share and first-read share should increase, and his per-route productivity should improve.
PositiveProjectionAug 15, 2026
Tyler Warren finished as TE10 in fantasy points per game as a rookie but was TE4 in expected fantasy points per game, indicating significant upside. The source projects Warren as a top-five tight end in 2026 who could sniff top-three status if everything goes according to plan. His target share and first-read share should increase with Michael Pittman Jr. gone from the Colts, and his per-route productivity should improve if Daniel Jones stays healthy.

Warren finished TE10 in fantasy points per game as a rookie in 2025 but was TE4 in expected fantasy points per game, indicating natural regression risk. However, he ranked fifth in red zone targets and eighth in end zone targets with only four receiving touchdowns, suggesting touchdown upside. Among 59 qualifying tight ends, Warren ranked sixth in target share, ninth in receiving yards per game, 18th in yards per route run and first downs per route run, and sixth in first-read share. With Michael Pittman Jr. traded away, his target share and first-read share should increase; if Daniel Jones stays healthy, Warren could sniff top-three tight end status.

Warren's rookie season showed a stark split: over his first 10 games, he averaged 5.0 catches, 61.7 receiving yards, and 11.1 half-point PPR fantasy points per game with four touchdowns; over his last seven games, he averaged 3.7 catches, 28.6 receiving yards, and 5.6 half-point PPR fantasy points per game with one touchdown. He finished as TE5 with 76 catches for 817 yards and four touchdowns plus one TD run. Daniel Jones' late-season injuries may have contributed to the slowdown, and his health status could still be an issue early in 2026. However, the Colts traded away WR Michael Pittman in the offseason and made no significant pass-catching acquisitions, bolstering Warren's 2026 target outlook. Despite the late-season decline, Warren should still be one of the first five tight ends off the board in 2026 drafts.
