TE Tyler Warren, IND (1 Viewer)

[Uncle Leo]

This one burns as I wanted him so bad, but took McBride in the 3rd. What a mistake. I could have had a second WR or a RB there and taken Warren in the 6th instead.

I doubt you'll be upset with McBride, especially as he's the only top TE who stayed healthy, but yeah, Warren looked like the guy he did in college. Most team will cover the perimeter better than Miami, so this is likely nowhere near Warren's ceiling.

 

[zamboni]

Warren should already be considered a must-start fantasy tight end. Anyone who drafted Warren and another tight end in case Warren didn’t work out can cut or trade that other tight end for a player at a different position.

Was thinking the bold as well. While it may be jumping the gun, I don’t see a reason to carry a mediocre TE (Ferguson in my case) if I’m going to just roll with Warren on a weekly basis. Can always pick up someone on waivers for Warren’s bye or if he gets hurt.

I would but then pitts had 8 targets so ill hold for now.

Chicago's offense will be better under Johnson, but I don't understand passing on Warren. It's just one game, but I'd like to know the thought process behind taking Loveland.

Does Johnson have full autonomy over personnel or was this a Poles pick?

They are different styles of TE. Loveland is a separator and seam stretcher, and Warren is a manufactured touch RAC guy.

I think the talent levels were pretty similar overall, I preferred Warren, but I don't think its egregious. I think they'll both be pretty good. Loveland is also 2 years younger.

I hear ya. It just seems like Warren would be a lot more of a force multiplier, opening up things for the other skill players.

I wasn't the biggest fan of the Burden pick, either. I'm curious how productive those two will be under Johnson.

Currently DJM is in that 'manufactured touch RAC' role and he's pretty good at it. Loveland fits the current roster better, although with Kmet there, taking a TE was a head scratcher IMO.

I'm rostering McBride and Warren, who were both good values where I drafted them. This is what I wanted to see happen. Major trade value.

What if you drafted McBride at your TE and plan to slot Warren at flex?

Colts rookie Tyler Warren becomes centerpiece of offense

 

[Faust]

@YahooFantasy
The Colts may make Tyler Warren the "focal point of their team’s passing offense" with Patrick Surtain II matched up against Michael Pittman Jr. on Sunday, per @RomeovilleKid

[Stoneworker]

It will be interesting to see when DC Vance Joseph goes man if he matches up 1st round CB Jahdae Barron with Warren on Sunday

Barron is fast and very physical and has some good tape vs. Colston Loveland in college when Texas played Michigan

DNP today with a toe injury. Can’t say I like this.

Agree but now I have to make plans to potentially burn another roster spot for another TE.

 

[Footballdaz]

Hope it's a non-issue and not a lingering nagging injury all season.. He can come close to Bower rookie #s if he's healthy all year like Brock was his rookie season.
DJ needs him too,he's a huge part of that offense..

I'm a Pats fan,but want to see Colts do well..Colts are one of my sleeper teams to get in playoffs and win game or two

 

[Faust]

Jeff Mueller, PT, DPT
Good news: I watched every play of the last two IND drives and didn’t see any specific plays where Tyler Warren could have injured a toe. He was in on every single play. He was only slightly favoring his right foot on a few plays.

It’s probably nothing.

Good news for Tyler Warren, who’s dealing with a toe injury, likely very mild turf toe, is back to practicing today.

He will likely play in Week 3 with a carbon fiber insert.

Video coming soon.

[RaidersAreOne]

I sure wish I had Warren. People saying he's close to Bowers as a prospect are out to lunch imo, but he's a damn good player. It's kindof cool seeing rookie TEs producing sooner and sooner vs. years ago.

I am hoping Fannin can be a Warren-lite.

i don't see any reason that he can't be as good as Bowers

I would second that. They are different types of TE, but quality of player, they could easily be equals.

Officially limited today but doesn’t sound too alarming based on reports like these.

James Boyd
#Colts WRs coach Reggie Wayne on the arrival of TE Tyler Warren:

“It kind of somewhat reminds me of when I was playing. It was me and (Marvin Harrison Sr.) on the outside … and then all of a sudden we draft a first-round TE, (Dallas Clark). … It made us a better offense.”

https://x.com/romeovillekid/status/1968817714236887196?s=61

 

[zamboni]

LP again and listed as questionable

Sounds like he’s playing but may not have clarity until inactives come out Sunday morning. Good thing it’s an early game.

 

[Faust]

Stephen Holder
Colts TE Tyler Warren (toe) is listed as questionable for Sunday, but the sense is that he WILL play. Practiced (with limitations) on Thursday and Friday.

Only other player in question is CB Charvarius Ward (concussion), but he should be available barring a setback.

Seems to be a "between the 20s" sort of weapon...

 

[Ilov80s]

Seems to be a "between the 20s" sort of weapon...

He scored 12 TDs last year in Penn State. He's still a rookie and developing. His usage in week 3 won't be all he is able to do all year long.

I was referring to his usage in the first three weeks. He's been able to do whatever they want him to do so far, so it's on the coaching.

Fair but I think that's also what I am saying. The coaches are likely to add more to his plate as the season goes on.

 

[GPS]

Plus the Colts are 3-0 with two pretty lop-sided. Correct me if I'm wrong, but they haven't really had to play from behind at all. The offense has been pretty balanced. I have to imagine they're going to be facing more need-to-throw situations.

True and at some point maybe teams will figure out how to not let Jonathan Taylor eviscerate them.

I'm not saying you're wrong. But the times I've seen them in the red zone, he's not part of the plan. That seems to be more play calling than him not having things on his plate, if you take my meaning.

If someone is foolish enough to sell him then go get him.

I do get what you're saying. I just think as the season goes on, it's likely they vary the play calling more including dialing stuff up to him.

Such a great draft pick.

Tyler Warren is playing 83% of the snaps. He’s 4th among all TEs in targets. And he got two goal-line carries yesterday.

Tyler Warren is too dangerous. The league is conspiring against him for he threatens history books. These are jokes, but the officiating against him has been bizarre as of late.

Feels surreal that the Colts have one of the best tight ends in the league.

Yeah, he is a sure thing. Should have gone top 10. Not sure what the Bears we’re doing passing him for Loveland.
