All Fantasy Football with Ian Hartitz insights about Tyler Warren
PositiveInjuryOct 30, 2026
Returns from groin injury with no official designation; ranked as tight end 9 for Week 8 and trusted ahead of Sam Laora against the Vikings.NegativeInjuryOct 29, 2026
Would rank around tight end 12 if healthy, but managing a groin injury heading into Week 8. Injury status is uncertain, making his availability and ranking contingent on his ability to suit up through the groin issue.NegativeInjuryOct 22, 2026
Dealing with a groin injury and has not practiced to open the week; Ian Hartitz does not expect him to play. If he does play against the Vikings, he would be ranked tight end sixteen due to the Vikings' blitz-heavy scheme that limits routes for running backs and tight ends asked to stay in and pass protect.NegativeInjuryOct 16, 2026
Tyler Warren is officially questionable for Week 6 after being added to the injury report on Friday with a groin injury; Ian Hartitz currently ranks him as the TE9.PositiveProjectionOct 15, 2026
Ian Hartitz ranks Tyler Warren as the TE9 for Week 6 against the Titans. Warren is viewed as a bounce-back candidate following a recent performance featuring seven catches for 83 yards and a goal-line rushing touchdown.PositiveProjectionOct 8, 2026
Warren is ranked TE11 but has underperformed significantly. He had 9 catches for 50 yards in Week 4 with 5.7 yards per catch and 4.8 yards per target, dead last among 28 qualified tight ends. He has not had a target more than 15 yards downfield all year, limiting both yardage and touchdown upside. Daniel Jones has been statistically one of the worst quarterbacks in football, and Warren only received 5 targets last week despite the Colts having limited receiving options (no Alec Pierce, no Keenan Allen). Ian Hartitz wants to move him down even further, noting the Colts have one of the toughest schedules for tight ends over weeks 5-10 and neither Warren nor the offense is playing good football.NegativeUsageOct 5, 2026
Tyler Warren recorded five catches for 41 scoreless yards, seeing only five targets in a game where the Colts passing attack struggled.PositiveUsageSep 25, 2026
Ian Hartitz targets Tyler Warren over 4.5 receptions. Warren is heavily schemed with RPOs and short screens, creating consistent target volume. Hartitz projects Warren to land around five catches and expresses confidence in the over despite uncertainty on yardage totals (five catches for 10 yards or five catches for 30 yards). The prop offers a nice value at over 4.5 receptions.PositiveProjectionSep 24, 2026
Tyler Warren is ranked TE9 despite being consensus preseason TE4, with Ian Hartitz describing this as 'panicking a little' about Warren. Season stats show 2.8 yards per target, third-lowest among 33 tight ends with 5+ targets (dead last if threshold raised to 6 targets). The Colts offense lacks downfield threats with Alec Pierce on IR; Darius Slayton, Ashton Dulin, and Keenan Allen are the field-stretchers. Hartitz projects Warren as likely to repeat 5-catch, 20-yard performances dependent on TD scoring and explicitly states he can see himself lowering Warren even more as the week progresses.NegativeUsageSep 22, 2026
Ian Hartitz hopes that Tyler Warren and Josh Downs will receive enough targets to remain viable in fantasy despite the overall struggles of the Colts' offense.PositiveUsageSep 14, 2026
Tyler Warren posted an elite 91% route participation rate in Week 1 and scored a touchdown. Ian Hartitz identifies him as his preferred Colts player to bet on outside of Jonathan Taylor, citing his status as a second-year first-round pick and 'YAC monster' potential, despite target competition from Keenan Allen.PositiveInjurySep 11, 2026
Tyler Warren is confirmed to be good to go for Week 1, as he is not listed on the injury report.PositiveProjectionSep 9, 2026
Ian Hartitz ranks Tyler Warren as the TE4 for Week 1 and advises starting him in all league formats. Hartitz notes Warren could see up to 12 targets, citing his status as one of the few rookie tight ends to post top-12 PPR numbers in the last decade. Hartitz remains confident in Warren despite concerns about the Ravens' defense and potential Colts' offensive struggles throwing downfield.NegativeValueAug 21, 2026
Went off the board in the middle of round four in this draft simulation.NegativeValueAug 15, 2026
Drew Davenport identifies Tyler Warren as the floor for acceptable tight end talent in 10-team auction leagues, stating he prefers not to draft anyone ranked below him and aims to secure one of the top four or five options at the position.PositiveBreakoutAug 3, 2026
Ian Hartitz selected Tyler Warren for his tight end premium value, comparing his potential usage to a 'Trey McBride 2025 light' scenario with a ceiling of 140 targets; Hartitz notes the team needs him to be very good for the roster to smash.NegativeProjectionJul 24, 2026
Tyler Warren's target projection could be affected by Alec Pierce's health status. If Pierce is unavailable, Warren could see more target volume; if the Colts add an outside receiver like Keenan Allen, his upside would be dampened.NegativeProjectionNo date
Warren is ranked TE9, which feels high given his poor efficiency. Despite two touchdowns, Warren has only 18 catches for 89 yards this season (under 5 yards per catch) through three games, with only one catch of 10+ yards downfield and minimal usage in the wildcat/gadget role despite his Penn State background. Ian Hartitz suspects it's a rough stretch rather than permanent decline but expresses uncertainty about whether to sell Warren or acknowledge he's producing okay despite being really bad. Warren and Colston Loveland are among the only tight ends with 8+ targets averaging under 5 yards per target.NegativeUsageNo date
Ian Hartitz identifies Tyler Warren as an efficient underneath target who operates effectively near the line of scrimmage, though he notes Warren does not stretch the field, which may allow defenses to focus more on stopping the run.PositiveUsageNo date
Tyler Warren is expected to be one of the primary volume targets in the Colts offense alongside Jonathan Taylor and Josh Downs. Ian Hartitz sees reason to be excited about Warren's fantasy prospects from a volume concentration perspective.PositiveProjectionNo date
JJ Zachariason ranks Tyler Warren as tight end four, placing him below Brock Bowers (TE1), Coulson Loveland (TE2), and Trey McBride (TE3). Tyler Warren is one of just six rookie tight ends to post top-12 PPR points-per-game numbers over the past decade, joining Brock Bowers, Harold Fannon, Sam Laaporta, Kyle Pitts, and Evan Engram. Zachariason projects Tyler Warren as one of only five tight ends projected to lead his team in targets, supported by his underneath role that suits a potentially hobbled Daniel Jones with reduced arm strength post-Achilles injury.PositiveBreakoutNo date
Tyler Warren is positioned as a potential breakout tight end for the Colts, described as "Brock Bowers light." As a rookie, he led the team in targets despite Michael Pitman's 111 targets, and with Pitman gone, Warren is expected to see even more volume. Already ranked inside the top five at tight end; positioned as a potential goal-line rushing touchdown beneficiary if he becomes his team's primary red-zone option, which could unlock significant upside. Matt Harmon breaks his usual tight end strategy (elite guys or wait late) to draft Warren in the fifth round.NegativeProjectionNo date
Ryan Heath views Tyler Warren as part of the consensus top-three tight ends but expresses uncertainty about his trajectory. Warren's rookie season stats were comparable to Brock Bowers' rookie year, and he had a hotter start than Colson Loveland despite being two years older with five years at Penn State as a backup. His early-season success came off play-action and RPO when the Colts offense was leading the league in passing yards per game and top-five in red zone visits, though Heath views him more as a beneficiary of that system than a driver. However, Heath has concerns about Warren's durability given the Colts' quarterback situation—Daniel Jones is coming off a right Achilles tear and may not be at 100% in week one, which Heath frames as a concern for Warren's fantasy outlook, though less severe than for Jonathan Taylor.PositiveRoleNo date
Ian Hartitz identifies Tyler Warren as the Colts' de facto number one receiver, positioned similarly to Brock Bowers. Warren led the team in targets as a rookie last year and is poised to see increased volume this year with Michael Pittman's 111 targets removed from the offense. Daniel Jones' injury recovery may limit his rushing, forcing quicker passes that favor Warren's skill set; Warren can be schemed up in multiple ways and used out of the backfield, a role he performed in college. Hartitz breaks his typical tight end strategy to draft Warren in the fifth round.
