TE Tyler Warren, IND (1 Viewer)

Noah Compton
#Colts GM Chris Ballard on TE Tyler Warren:

“He can do a lot. He can play multiple spots. He can play in the backfield. He’s a great 50-50 ball catcher. He’s violent after the catch. He brings an element of toughness that I thought we needed to add offensively.”

🎥: @Colts

Anybody else reading this as a passive aggressive shot at J Taylor? Not suggesting Warren is coming for his spot in the backfield.

I would think maybe moreso at Richardson. Didn’t he check himself out of a game because he was tired?
 
I'm torn.

Could be a better real life player than fantasy player...landing spot is brutal.
This was my first thought as well, but after some time, I don't think the spot is as bad. Shane Steichen uses TE's. His scheme is a really good fit for Warren. He is going to get the ball a lot and Warren's run after the catch ability is special. Richardson has been terrible, but if he isn't massively improved, Jones is going to play. Jones wasn't worth the big deal he got in New York, but he was a decent QB before he got hurt. He should be able to give something like league average QB play. I don't think the Colts are the team to use Warren's versatility. His best case as a fantasy player was to go somewhere that would give him wildcat snaps.

I think he will be either 1st or 2nd in targets. Fade Pittman and possibly Mitchell as well, who in my opinion hasn’t learned the position yet.

I think Goedert in 21 and 22 is a realistic expectation, and he got over 5 targets a game.

"league average" qb play seems overly optimistic
 
2025 NFL rookie updates: Tracking all first-round draft picks

Excerpt:

It was practically impossible to watch an Indianapolis practice and not notice how often Warren touched the football. Any doubts about him having a notable role were erased in the first week of OTAs, when he could be seen running drag routes or matching up with linebackers in the middle of the field. The Colts had a league-low 39 receptions from their tight ends last season, but expect that to improve.

"I think he's had a great spring," quarterback Daniel Jones said of Warren. "He's made a lot of plays for us out here, and you can see his feel, his instincts, his strength, just his ability to go up and catch the ball." -- Stephen Holder

REMINDER:

Brock Bowers broke the NCAA single-season yardage record (1,051) by a TE from a power conference.

Then Tyler Warren broke THAT record – by 400 MORE yards (1,451).

BALLER.

Lawrence Jackson Jr.
Since (extremely) young quarterbacks who’ve played 12 full NFL games are allowed to get better— I ain’t using any excuses not to draft Tyler Warren in fantasy

He is not and won’t be Brock Bowers, but I bet he could double his TD #’s (5) - The ADP will wise
