“Alec Pierce would continue to operate as the intermediate-to-downfield threat, with Downs soaking up targets underneath, along with tight end Tyler Warren .”

“Alec Pierce stepped up in 2025, and the Colts added Tyler Warren in the draft, providing Pittman with more target competition.”

“12 | Tyler Warren | TE, Indianapolis Colts Tyler Warren came out of the gates strong as a rookie. His 112 targets, 88.”

“It’s easy to identify the top tier of tight ends in fantasy football this season: Brock Bowers Trey McBride Colston Loveland Tyler Warren Kyle Pitts Tucker Kraft But what does the position look like after that top tier? Below are three tight ends you can draft in the later rounds who have the upside to finish in the top five at the position.”

“Fantasy players should take Tyler Warren a few picks earlier or wait nearly two rounds to select Sam LaPorta (TE8).”

“Obviously, Tyler Warren will see a great deal, and Alec Pierce just secured the bag, but Downs should not be forgotten”

“Tyler Warren ’s rookie season and Alec Pierce ’s contract are reasons to believe that the Colts’ offense can continue to get better around Taylor, making his job much easier.”

“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.”

“Last season, Watson was the WR15 on a points-per-game basis among wide receivers with at least nine games played, averaging 13.2 PPR fantasy points per contest despite averaging only 5.5 targets per outing. Unfortunately, the former North Dakota State star only played in 10 games after missing the first seven weeks recovering from a torn ACL.”

“Jameson Williams and Christian Watson are two dynamic playmakers on great offenses who could each have more volume than people realize in 2026.”

“Once Watson was ramped up and playing full time in a crowded Green Bay wide receiver room in 2025, Watson posted a 24% TPRR, 61 receiving yards per game (WR19), 2.49 YPRR, and a 28% first-read target share, per Fantasy Points Data Suite.”

“Christian Watson returned to the lineup in Week 8 after tearing his ACL late into the 2024 season. Despite coming off a brutal injury, he supplanted Romeo Doubs as the WR1 in the Packers’ offense.”

“Christian Watson and Jayden Reed were given extensions, Tucker Kraft is back healthy, and first-round receiver Matthew Golden is entering his sophomore season.”

“-Tom Strachan Christian Watson (WR – GB) Christian Watson ‘s injury history will present you with a discount during drafts.”

“Christian Watson (WR – GB) A sneaky one, going around pick 85 against a consensus rank near 54. Watson got paid this offseason and profiles as Green Bay’s clear WR1, a role he earned late last season when he was the WR21 in points per game from Weeks 8 through 18 on a healthy target share.”

“Christian Watson managed a WR19 finish in PPR points per game last year while returning from a 2024 ACL tear. Now fully healthy, he’s positioned to lead a thinner Packers receiving corps. Green Bay reinforced their confidence by signing Watson to a four-year, $92 million extension in June.”

“Christian Watson tore the ACL in his right knee on January 5th, 2025. He made his season debut for the Packers on October 26th, 2025.”

“We’ve seen receivers like Christian Watson or Garrett Wilson go ballistic in the past, and those types of performances will keep you competitive in leagues where the point totals will always be higher.”

“Christian Watson’s description on our website calls him a “classic talent-versus-durability bet,” and that couldn’t be more accurate. Akin to Rashee Rice above, Watson’s inclusion isn’t a matter of me questioning his hands, concentration or physical abilities — far from it.”

“Christian Watson is one of the best value bets on the board because his draft cost still doesn’t match his 2026 role. In 10 games last year, he posted 611 yards, six touchdowns, and 17.5 yards per catch after missing seven weeks with an ACL tear.”
