Colts Rookie Tyler Warren Earns PFF Team of the Week After 7-Catch Debut

His multi‑role skill set gives Indianapolis a new focal point in Shane Steichen’s offense.

Overview

  • Warren caught seven passes for 76 yards, added a short‑yardage rush for a first down, and helped Indianapolis beat Miami 33-8 for its first season‑opening win in 12 years.
  • Pro Football Focus placed him on both its rookie and overall Teams of the Week with a 90.4 overall grade and an 88.6 run‑blocking mark, and he was nominated for the NFL’s Rookie of the Week award.
  • Shane Steichen praised his physical, throwback style while Daniel Jones called him a dangerous yards‑after‑catch target who makes tough grabs.
  • He lined up at tight end and fullback, and his reception total ranked near the top for a tight end making a first career start since 1970.
  • Jones posted a 115.9 passer rating with two rushing touchdowns, a strong opener that could limit Anthony Richardson’s chances to reclaim the starting role if that level continues.
