Video: 2026 Fantasy Football AMA with Scott Barrett and Brett Whitefield
You had Tyler Warren who had the most yards from scrimmage of any power conference tight end in college football history... he was trending towards having a really good rookie season as well, right? And then Daniel Jones goes down and the whole thing kind of falls apart... up until that initial injury, I think it's like the first six or seven or eight weeks, uh he his numbers on a per route per target basis were indistinguishable from rookie season Brock Bowers... He was the tight end too in fantasy um behind only Trey McBride... 2.11 yards per route run. Alltime great numbers for a rookie and Warren is actually better than that.

STACKED’s take

Elite rookie TE2 before QB injury; Bowers-level efficiency; sophomore breakout archetype.

Scott Barrett identifies Tyler Warren as part of a historically great tight end class, highlighting that Warren had the most yards from scrimmage of any power conference tight end in college football history. Warren was trending toward a very strong rookie season before Daniel Jones's fibula fracture derailed his trajectory. Through the first six to eight weeks, Warren's per-route and per-target numbers were indistinguishable from rookie-season Brock Bowers, and he ranked second in fantasy among tight ends behind only Trey McBride. Warren posted 2.11 yards per route run as a rookie—described as 'alltime great numbers for a rookie'—and is actually better than Brock Bowers on this metric. He has elite run-after-catch ability comparable to Harold Fannon Jr., is a fantastic blocker and every-down player, and is a highly accomplished collegiate tight end. After Jones went down and was replaced by a 47-year-old Philip Rivers, Warren's production collapsed. Scott Barrett views him as a player the market is sleeping on, noting that tight ends historically struggle as rookies but experience a sophomore-year breakout where production jumps from 40% baseline to 110% baseline, creating significant value opportunity.
