Pat Kerrane noted that Tyler Warren’s ADP has finally corrected to a point where he is comfortable adding him—so long as the Penn State rookie falls behind Isaiah Likely and Dallas Goddard. Warren often drifts five or more spots past his Underdog average, and Kerrane likes scooping those slips, especially on DraftKings where stacks with Anthony Richardson come at an even steeper discount. He cautioned that Warren is still a luxury pick rather than a tight-end anchor, but in builds that already locked up an elite option he views Warren’s athleticism and potential route share as ideal late-round juice.

Conner Allen suggested sprinkling on Tyler Warren at 40-1 because the rookie’s do-everything skill set could rack up highlight-reel counting stats. Warren lined up at wide receiver, in-line tight end, slot, quarterback and running back for more than 50 collegiate snaps each, and Allen expects his NFL staff to deploy a Taysom Hill-style package that lets him throw, run and catch. If Warren can pile up 10–15 total touchdowns across multiple roles, Allen believes the narrative of unique versatility combined with raw production could capture voters’ imaginations despite middling quarterback play around him.

Sigmund Bloom said Tyler Warren is quietly one of the best late-round tight-end bets because Indianapolis has telegraphed that it wants to feature a true in-line “Y”. Bloom pointed out that the Colts spent the No. 33 pick on Warren last year, then doubled down by burning the No. 13 pick this year—an even louder signal they are building around him. GM Chris Ballard keeps invoking Jack Doyle when asked what the offense needs: a middle-of-the-field target defenses must respect and a body coaches can ‘peg with targets.’ Shane Steichen is reportedly prepared to use Warren as if he were Brock Bowers, meaning snap counts in the 90-percent range and a steady diet of play-action seams and RPO stick routes. Bloom concluded that Warren’s three-down role, plus the Richardson deep-ball threat that pulls safeties, creates a fantasy profile similar to Sam LaPorta’s rookie usage but three rounds cheaper in best-ball and redraft.
