Who Should I Start? Connor Heyward or Tyler Warren

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Connor Heyward caught two of his three targets for 16 yards in the team's 20-16 win over the visiting Tennessee Titans on Thursday Night Football. Meanwhile, fellow tight end Darnell Washington caught his only target for a seven-yard gain. Heyward caught a season-high five passes (six targets) for 24 yards in last week's loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars with Pat Freiermuth (hamstring) on Injured Reserve, but he couldn't keep up that elevated production in Week 9. Freiermuth will miss at least two more games, but fantasy managers just won't be able to trust Heyward for consistent production in one of the weaker offenses in the league. The 24-year-old has just 14 receptions for 105 yards and no touchdowns in eight games in 2023.

Indianapolis Colts tight end Tyler Warren turned in another strong performance in a Week 6 win over the Arizona Cardinals, catching six of his nine targets for 63 yards and a touchdown. With 29 catches for 370 yards and three all-purpose touchdowns through six games, Warren has cemented himself as a no-brainer top-six tight end in fantasy for the remainder of the season. He will look to keep it going in a Week 7 road matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Chargers have been tough on tight ends in fantasy this season, allowing just the 26th-most fantasy points per game to the position through six games. That being said, Warren has been too dominant to treat as anything other than a top-three fantasy option at his position for Week 7.
