Bryant McFadden said Tyler Warren has the tools to mirror Brock Bowers’ immediate fantasy impact if he is drafted by a franchise willing to treat him as a top‑two passing option. McFadden emphasized Warren’s "transformer"‑level versatility—he lined up inline, in the slot, and even took wildcat snaps at Penn State—plus broad athletic measurables that match Bowers coming out of Georgia. The former cornerback noted that expectations for rookie tight ends have been reset after Bowers’ 2024 campaign, so Warren only needs 18‑22% target share to flirt with TE1 numbers in redraft and dynasty formats. McFadden believes that share is realistic because Warren’s blocking chops will keep him on the field for every situation, boosting route participation above 80% regardless of landing spot. The only caveat is volume: whichever team drafts him must funnel looks his way instead of pigeonholing him as a gadget piece. If that happens, McFadden projects a 55‑60 catch rookie line with eight‑touchdown upside—enough to crack the top eight tight ends in 2025 fantasy drafts.
