News: 2 days agoWarren did not play in the Colts' 13-13 tie with the Patriots in Thursday's preseason game.

Spin: Warren and several other starters observed Thursday's exhibition contest in street clothes, with Pharaoh Brown and Will Mallory seeing most of the tight-end snaps. Warren is coming off an excellent rookie season and will be a key piece to the Colts' offense alongside running back Jonathan Taylor and wide receiver Alec Pierce (ankle). Warren's involvement in the passing game could expand early on in the season if Pierce is still sidelined.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Warren put together a solid rookie season, but it could've been even better. In 12 games with a healthy Daniel Jones, Warren scored five touchdowns and averaged 13.1 fantasy PPG. In five games without Jones, Warren fell to 6.3 PPG and failed to find the end zone. In fact, the 2025 first-round pick was unlucky in the scoring department, ranking fifth among tight ends in end zone targets (seven) and expected TDs (7.5). Warren finished the season third among tight ends in targets and also had three goal-line carries. The 24-year-old was already a featured target and might see even more work with Michael Pittman Jr. shipped to Pittsburgh. Warren is a quality TE1.
