Who Should I Start? Noah Fant or Tyler Warren

Saturday, September 13, 3:21 PM

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Noah Fant had a team-high four catches in Sunday's win over the Browns. While he only accumulated 26 yards, he was the only Bengal besides Chase Brown to score a touchdown. Most assumed Mike Gesicki would see more work than Fant throughout the 2025 campaign. While that could still happen moving forward, that wasn't the case in Week 1, with Fant logging 26 snaps and Gesicki finishing with 16. The veteran still has a way to go before earning the trust of fantasy managers, especially since Gesicki likely isn't going away, considering his on-field relationship with quarterback Joe Burrow. Still, Fant can be utilized for streaming purposes in multi-tight end setups for the Week 2 meeting with the Jags. Fantasy managers should just be aware of the risk.

Indianapolis Colts rookie tight end Tyler Warren (toe) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's injury report due to a toe injury. Fantasy managers should keep a close eye on his status during the week, as he could be dealing with a serious injury. Through his first two games in the NFL, the former Penn State standout has enjoyed an outstanding start to his career. Warren has emerged as a key component of the Indianapolis offense, as he has caught 11 of his 16 targets for 155 yards. With Daniel Jones enjoying a career resurgence in Indianapolis, Warren should continue to hold high-end TE1 value for the foreseeable future. If Warren were to sit out in Week 3 when the Colts face the Tennessee Titans, wide receivers Michael Pittman Jr., Alec Pierce, and Josh Downs should see an increased target share.
