Tyler Warren enters his second NFL season as the Indianapolis Colts’ primary receiving option following Michael Pittman Jr.’s offseason trade, positioning the 2025 first-round tight end for elevated target volume after leading the position with 112 looks as a rookie. He posted 76 receptions for 817 yards and four touchdowns in 2025 while earning Pro Bowl honors, though his scoring rate remained modest amid quarterback Daniel Jones’ late-season Achilles injury. Jones’ expected return to full health, combined with Warren’s versatility in Shane Steichen’s offense and offseason emphasis on route precision, supports stronger red-zone involvement this year. A minor groin issue cleared before Week 1 against the Ravens, but the 24-year-old faces competition for touches from Josh Downs and Alec Pierce in an offense still adjusting after roster changes. Market pricing reflects consensus around his expanded role and consistent availability across a full schedule.
