Should You Start or Sit Warren in Week 16?
There is no shortage of moving pieces within this Tyler Warren profile.
You could argue that there is a rookie wall component to consider alongside natural regression and the inherent offensive risk that comes with the shift under center.
Realistically, was his performance last week that much different than expected?
Efficiency was the issue (50% catch rate), but his aDOT and target share were within the range of acceptable outcomes based on where he stood with Daniel Jones. Those rates are nice, but we are in the production business, and that part of the equation hasn’t been there for the former Nittany Lion with just 101 receiving yards during Indy’s four-game losing streak.
He’s a versatile weapon, but with him not having reached 50 air yards since Week 6, there’s a lot of risk involved with chasing the talent of Warren.
I’ve certainly cooled on Warren over the past month, but as a near-touchdown underdog, at home in a spot that doesn’t come with weather risk, that’s enough to keep him positioned as a top 10 play for me.
