Tyler Warren News
Sunday, April 5, 11:13 AM
Before he was traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers for a late-round pick swap, wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. had led the Indianapolis Colts in targets for five consecutive seasons. In his absence, one of the pass catchers most expected to benefit from the newly formed triple-digit target vacuum is tight end Tyler Warren, fresh off a rookie season in which his 76 receptions led all first-year players. He was also the third most targeted tight end in the league, and with Pittman no longer taking up residence between the numbers, Warren's target share could rise to the ranks of the fantasy elite. Alec Pierce signed a top-of-the market deal to stay in Indianapolis as the primary downfield and boundary option, but he has never cracked 85 targets or 50 receptions in a season, while Josh Downs, who could offer more direct target competition on short to intermediate routes, is listed at only 171 pounds and has seen his snap count drop in each of his professional seasons.

Mason Taylor News
Tuesday, March 31, 8:04 AM
New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn expects tight end Mason Taylor to make a big jump and have a "hell of a year" in his second season in the NFL in 2026, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN. Taylor ended his rookie season on Injured Reserve due to a neck injury, but it's not expected to impact his availability at the start of the 2026 campaign this fall. In 13 games for the Jets last year, Taylor caught 44 of his 65 targets for 369 yards and only one touchdown. It wasn't exactly what dynasty managers were hoping for, but it also wasn't completely Taylor's fault. He missed the final four games with a neck injury, and New York's passing attack was brutal with quarterbacks Justin Fields, Tyrod Taylor, and Brady Cook. Taylor didn't have much of a chance to get going in his rookie season, and he was the TE35 overall in half-PPR scoring. Going into Year 2, the former second-rounder could be handcuffed again by a poor offense, which will now be run by veteran Geno Smith, who led the league with 17 interceptions in 2025 with the Raiders. Take Glenn's statement this week about Taylor with a grain of salt.
