Tyler Warren vs Bhayshul Tuten

“This is simply a, “the drop-off from Tyler Warren to Tucker Kraft isn’t going to be as big as you think (and I have Kraft higher, for what it’s worth), and that makes Warren a bad value” sentiment.”

“The Colts passing game operated by committee throughout the year, with each of Alec Pierce, Tyler Warren, Michael Pittman Jr. and Josh Downs filling a specific role within the offense.”

“He continued building around a young receiver corps, adding Emeka Egbuka and later Jameson Williams , and locked down his tight end room early with Tyler Warren , calling him a long-term dynasty asset worth building around even with quarterback uncertainty in Indianapolis.”

“Tyler Warren picked up a small bump but stayed in place at fourth, standing fairly alone in that spot: not close enough to catch third, but comfortably ahead of Tucker Kraft , who settled in as the TE5.”

“Tyler Warren should continue to ascend.”

“While Daniel Jones appears healthy heading into 2026, I expect to see more of Warren taking snaps at quarterback, as he did at Penn State. Warren offers unique upside that has received little discussion this offseason.”

“The Colts offense took a big step forward in 2025, and they will need to rely even more on Tyler Warren to keep that momentum going. Warren had an outstanding rookie year after leading the Colts in targets last season. The departure of Michael Pittman (PIT) will lead to even more looks for Warren's second season.”

“Warren had a strong rookie season, catching 76 of 112 targets for 817 yards and 4 touchdowns. He also added a rushing touchdown. Warren played 84% of the snaps as a rookie, running a route on 83.6% of the team's dropbacks.”

“Tyler Warren has a clear chance to finish as the overall TE1 in 2026. He's the returning member of Indy's receiving corps most likely to handle those middle-of-the-field opportunities that previously belonged to Michael Pittman. Warren saw the second-most targets inside the 10-yard line among all tight ends last season (11), yet he finished with only four spikes.”

“Among the second-tier tight ends, Tyler Warren generated some of the strongest endorsements. He was named a must-draft target thanks to expectations for increased volume and a larger offensive role. The belief is that Warren still has room to grow and could push toward the elite tier if his opportunity expands.”

“I'm not confident enough that Loveland will emerge as the former to draft him multiple rounds ahead of other upside young tight ends like the aforementioned Warren, Harold Fannin Jr. or Tucker Kraft.”

“Rodriguez will remain a worry for Tuten at the goal line and to his overall touch count until we see his role fleshed out this season, but if he can be the clear lead guy, he has the talent to match Etienne’s RB13 finish last year in fantasy points per game.”

“This could be the big breakout season for Tuten, who, on a per-touch basis, flashed the immense talent that I really liked when he was in college.”

“The second-year back checks literally every box that sharp fantasy managers look for in upside RBs. Athleticism is an easy place to start, as Tuten ran a blazing 4.32 40-yard dash at last year’s NFL Combine.”

“With Travis Etienne Jr. now in New Orleans, there are now more than 250 vacated touches in Jacksonville for Bhayshul Tuten and new running back addition Chris Rodriguez Jr.”

“The Bhayshul Tuten hype train has only continued to grow this offseason. Despite the threat of newly acquired Chris Rodriguez, Tuten’s ADP has been on a steady rise this summer.”

“Bhayshul Tuten being ranked outside of the top 24 in half-PPR feels criminal. Yes, he will face competition from Chris Rodriguez in camp, but all signs point towards Tuten winning the starting running back role for Jacksonville.”

“Some may call me crazy, but I call Tuten a league winner.”

“Bhayshul Tuten was picked almost entirely on per-touch efficiency. Among 55 qualifying running backs last year, he ranked fifth in rushing success rate and 11th in missed tackles forced, elite marks for a rookie.”

“With Travis Etienne gone, Bhayshul Tuten will compete with Chris Rodriguez to be the lead back for the Jaguars in 2026. I want to bet on Tuten this year and his talent. Last year, Tuten was unfortunately robbed of the stretch run of his rookie season as he was sidelined by a finger injury.”

“Mike sees the upside in Tuten, expecting him to be boot-scootin' up to top-end RB volume this season.”

“Tuten never got much work while the team leaned on Travis Etienne; however, Etienne is in New Orleans now, and the Jags brought in Chris Rodriguez (WAS) to help carry the load. This situation is eerily similar to Chase Brown before he broke out in his second year in Cincinnati.”

“Bhayshul Tuten didn't show much in his rookie season, with only one game over 30% snap share. Still, when he was on the field, he made an impression.”
