Tyler Warren Could Be the Key to Colts' Offense
Tyler Warren led the Colts in targets and receptions, chipping in 76 yards through the air. Impressively, his impact on Shane Steichen's offense went beyond the numbers he was able to put on the stat sheet. Michael Pittman Jr.'s 27-yard touchdown in the second quarter was the direct result of space created along the sideline when Dolphins' safety Ifeatu Melifonwu chose to carry Warren down the seam. In the running game, Warren at times looked like a 6th offensive lineman, clearing space for Jonathan Taylor, DJ Giddens, and Daniel Jones on a day where the Colts put up 156 yards on the ground. The Colts invested a first-round draft pick in Warren, and through one week, it appears they have a clear plan to run the offense through him. Week 1 was arguably the most successful game of the Shane Steichen era, and it should not be a surprise to see Warren rewarded for his dirty work with more fantasy-friendly opportunities.
