NegativeProjectionJul 31, 2026Fantasy Football with Ian Hartitz
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.

Tyler Warren is positioned as a tier-of-his-own tight end with realistic upside to finish as TE1 overall. He's the best bet to lead the Colts in catches and targets this year and offers a Trey McBride-like arbitrage play given his college production. However, offensive regression when Joe Rivers arrived in 2024 dampened his end-of-season numbers, similar to Jonathan Taylor's decline. At TE4 ADP, Warren represents strong value relative to McBride's draft cost.

Tyler Warren is positioned as a breakout candidate in tight end premium leagues, with the source noting that recent Alec Pierce news warrants moving Warren up in rankings. While ranked below Colston Loveland, Warren is grouped in the second tier of tight ends alongside Loveland, ahead of Fant, Junior, and Tucker Craft. The source emphasizes Warren 'offers the most upside' if pushed into Loveland's tier, citing his rookie status and potential for growth.

In 13 games with Daniel Jones healthy last year, Warren was tight end six on tight end three usage with expected points in line with Brock Bowers. The source notes that if Daniel Jones is not himself, play-callers typically get the ball out quicker, which benefits Warren's skill set. Additionally, if Jonathan Taylor is injured, Warren would likely become the goal-line back, providing multiple upside paths. The source ranks Warren in the 60s overall, significantly ahead of other tier-two tight ends in the 80s and 90s.

The source identifies Warren as the biggest beneficiary of Michael Pittman Jr.'s departure, even more so than Josh Downs. Warren was tight end three in route participation as a rookie and had the 11th highest red zone target share among all receivers and tight ends league-wide; neither metric is expected to decline. He is the Colts' best screen receiver and benefits from play-action and split-flow action work. The source places Warren in his own tier directly after the big three tight ends (Brock Bowers, Trey McBride, Colson Loveland), with potential to be the focal point of the passing game early in the season if Alec Pearson's injury timeline is unclear.

Tyler Warren finished his rookie season as TE5 in half-point PPR fantasy scoring with 76 catches for 817 yards and five total touchdowns (four passing, one rushing). However, his production trajectory was inconsistent: over his first 10 games of 2025, Warren averaged 5.0 catches, 61.7 receiving yards and 11.1 half-point PPR fantasy points per game with four touchdowns, but 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. Daniel Jones' late-season injuries might partly account for Warren's late-season slowdown, and Jones' health status might still be an issue early in the 2026 season.

Matthew Berry states he is the highest on Tyler Warren among all Fantasy Life rankers, though still below ADP. In full-PPR, Warren's shorter-area role gives him a really nice floor, and Berry wouldn't be surprised if he bumps him up a couple of spots before draft season is over. However, Berry's current ranking reflects roster construction strategy, as he loves the wide receivers available in Rounds 6-8 but the running back pool dries up much faster, so he prioritizes RB20-24 tier ahead of Warren to ensure leaving Round 5 with at least two running backs.

#Colts QB Daniel Jones was dotting up the starting secondary in their first 7-on-7 session: - out to Downs (Walley w/ strong coverage) - skinny post to Ashton Dulin - out to Warren - hitch to Warren - dig to Treadwell Not a single incompletion by my count.
