The Indianapolis Colts (7-1) will visit the Pittsburgh Steelers (4-3) in Week 9. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding TE Tyler Warren.
Is Tyler Warren Playing in Week 9?
Warren is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Colts’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Warren in Week 9?
Tyler Warren’s production came in under expectations last week as he logged just his second single-digit PPR game of the season.
It means nothing moving forward.
This was (again) the Jonathan Taylor show, and with Michael Pittman having a strong matchup against the Titans, what little volume there was to be had through the air, the impressive rookie simply wasn’t needed for Indy to beat the brakes off of Tennessee.
If we are going to preach the importance of being on a strong offense, we can’t then complain when the offense is too good and coasts for the final quarter.
I entered this week with Tyler Warren and Trey McBride as my Tier 1 options at the position for the remainder of the season, and I’m not pivoting from that. He’s caught 74% of his targets this season and is averaging nearly 10 yards per target.
You’re lucky to have Warren on your roster: don’t forget that.
