Who Should I Start? Mark Andrews or Tyler Warren

Indianapolis Colts tight end Tyler Warren could have an even bigger role in his second year in the NFL, and he's been working on improving his explosion out of his breaks going into the 2026 season, according to Mike Chappell of FOX 59. Warren continued to flash his skill set during offseason workouts after catching 76 of his 112 targets for 817 yards and four touchdowns in his first 17 games (12 starts) in 2025 after Indy took him with the 14th overall pick out of Penn State. "Certainly expect him to be a big part of the offense again, and he's making a jump on what was a really, really good rookie season," quarterback Daniel Jones said. Warren's 76 catches and 817 yards were both club records for a rookie TE, and his five total TDs (one rushing) were behind only Hall of Famer John Mackey's seven. He led the Colts in targets as well, and receiver Michael Pittman Jr., who was second in targets in 2025, is now in Pittsburgh. Warren finished as the TE6 in half-PPR scoring last year, and with Jones returning to the Colts, RotoBaller has him ranked as a top-five fantasy TE going into his sophomore campaign. He averaged 10.8 yards per catch in 2025 and had 10 plays that went for at least 20 yards. Only receiver Alec Pierce (17) had more such plays for the Colts.
