Who Should I Start? Tyler Warren or Moliki Matavao

Indianapolis Colts tight end Tyler Warren could be the biggest beneficiary of his team's offseason trade of wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. to the Pittsburgh Steelers, per Joel A. Erickson of the Indianapolis Star. The 15th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Warren recorded 76 catches for 817 yards and four touchdowns on 112 targets across 17 games (12 starts) as a rookie. The 24-year-old actually led Indianapolis in targets in 2025, finishing with one more than Pittman Jr. (111). Still, the departure of Pittman Jr. leaves Warren as the clear number one option in the Colts passing game, with wide receivers Alec Pierce and Josh Downs set for supporting roles. Warren's production tailed off down the stretch last season after Colts quarterback Daniel Jones (Achilles) suffered a season-ending torn Achilles. With Jones expected to be ready for the start of 2026, Warren could be ready to emerge as one of the truly elite tight ends in fantasy football in his second NFL campaign.
