Colts' Tyler Warren: To maintain key role in Year 2
In his second year as a pro, Tyler Warren is a candidate to see his role in the Indianapolis Colts offense continue to grow, according to Mike Chappell of Fox 59 News Indianapolis.As a rookie, the 2025 first-rounder turned a team-high 112 targets into a 76/817/4 receiving line in 17 regular-season contests. As the coming campaign approaches, Warren, as well as WRs Alec Pierce and Josh Downs could see added pass-catching opportunities, with WR Michael Pittman -- who logged 111 targets last season -- having been traded to Pittsburgh. To that end, coach Shane Steichen notes that the second-year TE has been "working on his body and just getting into great physical shape, and coming in and out of breaks...he's made some good plays out here in practice in seven-on-seven, some team situations. So, looking for the next steps in his development.'' In terms of current average draft position, Trey McBride and Brock Bowers lead the way among tight ends, but Warren figures to fall into the next tier of quality fantasy options at the position once the top duo is off the board.

Colts' Tyler Warren: Five grabs to cap first NFL season
Tyler Warren caught five of eight targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 38-30 loss to the Texans.With Riley Leonard getting his first career start at quarterback, Warren wound up being nothing more than a security blanket and check-down option for his fellow rookie, with his longest gain going for just nine yards. The five receptions still led the Indianapolis Colts, however. Warren puts his first NFL season in the books with a 76-817-4 line on 112 targets, and depending on how the team solves its QB dilemma this offseason, the tight end could be poised for a Year 2 breakout.

Colts' Tyler Warren: Leads Colts pass catchers
Tyler Warren recorded five receptions on five targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Jaguars.Philip Rivers spread targets around to a wide range of pass catchers, as at least five Indianapolis Colts earned at least three targets. Warren was second among the group, though he led the team in yardage thanks to long gains of 14 and 12 yards. This marked his highest yardage total in a game since Week 12, and he should remain a key part of the offense in Week 18 against the Texans, even with Indianapolis eliminated from playoff contention.

Colts' Tyler Warren: Inefficient with nine targets
Tyler Warren brought in three of nine targets for 30 yards in the Indianapolis Colts' 48-27 loss to the 49ers on Monday night.Warren tied Josh Downs for the team lead in targets, but he wasn't anywhere near as productive as his teammate. The rookie tight end now has been at 45 receiving yards or fewer in five straight games, a far cry from the 61.7 receiving yards he averaged over his first 10 career contests. Warren has seen 15 targets over his first two games with Philip Rivers, however, affording him upside despite recent struggles in a Week 17 home matchup versus the Jaguars.

Colts' Tyler Warren: Little production on six targets
Tyler Warren brought in three of six targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 18-16 loss to Seattle.Warren was limited to meager production on six targets in consecutive weeks, highlighting the effect the loss of QB Daniel Jones (Achilles) early in Week 14 has had on the Indianapolis Colts' position players. It was a tough ask for 44-year-old Philip Rivers to save the team's passing attack, so Warren's recent drop-off shouldn't come as a huge surprise to fantasy managers. The 23-year-old Warren may have to make his mark on short underneath routes against the 49ers on Monday Night Football in Week 16.

Colts' Tyler Warren: Limited to 15 yards
Tyler Warren recorded two receptions on six targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 36-19 loss to the Jaguars. He added one rush for two yards.Warren maintained a solid role in the Indianapolis Colts' offense, finishing third on the team with six targets. However, he struggled to get on the same page with Riley Leonard, converting only one of his five targets into a catch, which went for only two yards. While that could change for the better moving forward, Warren's outlook has worsened due to Daniel Jones (Achilles) being out for the rest of the season.
