Tyler Warren
TE - Indianapolis Colts
Availability
Unlike Thanos, it turns out the Colts are not inevitable. Of all the defenses to slow this team down, the Steelers put together a great game plan and forced six turnovers. Thankfully, we have seen enough from the Colts to know they are more than legit and will likely bounce back against the Falcons in Germany this week. Unfortunately for Warren, the Falcons have been one of the best defenses against TEs all season. On the season, they are averaging 3.6 targets, 2.1 receptions, and 22 yards to the position per game. Unsurprisingly, they lead the NFL in all three of those categories. Warren has been a true breakout rookie this season, but this matchup will be tough to overcome. Warren continues to be cemented in lineups, but expectations may need to be altered this week.
Tight end Tyler Warren was active underneath, catching five passes for 26 yards on seven targets (thrice in the red zone), while running back Jonathan Taylor added two receptions for 12 yards.
Warren's been quiet in back-to-back games, so perhaps the manager is getting frustrated with all the Colts' WRs eating and not their rookie tight end. Take advantage and buy low. When you consider penalties, he actually had nine targets versus the Steelers.
