        Colts Get Their Guy in Tyler Warren

        The Colts selected Penn State TE Tyler Warren with the No. 14 pick of the 2025 NFL Draft. Warren is coming off a historically productive 2024 season. His 104 catches and 1,233 receiving yards were the fourth biggest tallies by a TE in NCAA history. Warren dominated the Penn State passing game, drawing a 31.6% target share and accounting for 38.5% of the team’s receiving yards. Warren ranked second among 86 qualifying TEs in Pro Football Focus receiving grade and third in yards per route. AND he ran it 26 times for 281 yards and four TDs. Warren lined up all over the formation last year: 45% in-line, 32% slot, 12% backfield, and 10% out wide. He’s at his best with the ball in his hands, averaging 6.9 yards after the catch per reception over the last two seasons. Warren is also comfortable making plays in traffic and has strong hands, dropping just 2.8% of his catchable targets last year. The knocks against him? The big 2024 came in his fifth college season. Warren totaled just 15 catches over his first three years at Penn State and then split time with very similar production as Theo Johnson in 2023. Warren hasn’t been much of a downfield threat, either. He had a career 7.5-yard average target depth, and only 6% of his targets came 20+ yards downfield over the last two seasons. Still, he projects as a unique weapon as a pro with perennial top-five fantasy upside.

        2025 Fantasy Football Impact

        Warren joins a Colts squad that desperately needed a TE. Last year, Colts TEs combined for only 39 catches.

        While he’ll gobble up snaps, Indy’s shaky QB situation and low-volume passing adds risk. Consider Warren more of a TE2 stash in early drafts.

        Dynasty Impact

        A short-term question mark at QB shouldn't scare you off of Warren. His draft status certainly says he'll be a featured piece of this offense within the next couple of seasons.

        Look for him to stick as a fringe Round 1 pick in our dynasty rookie rankings.
