News: 5 days agoWarren secured one of three targets for 25 yards in the Colts' 23-19 preseason loss to the Packers on Saturday afternoon.

Spin: The talented rookie was overthrown by Daniel Jones on third down to close out the Colts' first possession, but Warren bounced back with his 25-yard grab on the second drive to push the ball to the Packers' 11-yard line. Warren has played a first-team role in both of his preseason games to date and is poised for a significant role as the clear top pass-catching option at tight end to open his career.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Warren was selected by the Colts in the first round of April's draft. Much like Brock Bowers one year ago, Warren is an elite tight end prospect who could eventually emerge as one of the best in the game. He handled a 32% target share at Penn State last season, which allowed a 104-1,233-8 receiving line in 16 games. His 2.84 YPRR was second best in this TE class, and he added 26-218-4 as a rusher. He has the size, athleticism and receiving ability to post top-end numbers, though his stats could be limited in the short term as he works in a Colts offense that is unfriendly to pass catchers due to uncertainty at quarterback. Warren is a terrific dynasty hold, but is best viewed as a late-round lottery ticket in 2025 drafts.
