In 12 full games with Daniel Jones under center, the rookie TE netted an impressive 13.1 points per contest. In his other five games, it plummeted to 6.3. A full season of Jones &#8212; plus Michael Pittman Jr.\u2019s departure &#8212; creates a golden opportunity for Warren to claim TE1 honors.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, Jonathan Taylor\u2019s incredible 2025 run probably will grind to a halt this season. This has nothing to do with his greatness and everything to do with his 369 touches and 20 touchdowns last season. The \u201c369\u201d number is a clear yellow flag based on historical data, and the 20 scores over-weighted his fantasy impact. He\u2019d need to thread the needle to come close to meeting lofty expectations this year.<\/p>\n<p>There are a lot of wild cards on this team. Daniel Jones is the most prominent. Before suffering a season-ending injury, Jones was a weekly fantasy starter. He can reach that level again if things break right. However, his sizable rushing decline isn\u2019t about to reverse course, making him more dependent than ever through the air.<\/p>\n<p>This article originally appeared on Touchdown Wire: <a href=\"https:\/\/touchdownwire.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/nfl\/touchdown\/2026\/03\/25\/2026-colts-fantasy-preview-biggest-bargain-bust-and-wild-card\/89310878007\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:2026 Colts fantasy preview: Biggest bargain, bust, and wild card;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;2026 Colts fantasy preview&quot;}\" class=\"link \">2026 Colts fantasy preview: Biggest bargain, bust, and wild card<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If the season started today, one Colts player would be their biggest fantasy bargain, another a likely bust,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":833482,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2059],"tags":[2005,2772,5626,7,2004,392,2381,6,589],"class_list":["post-833481","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-indianapolis-colts","tag-colts","tag-daniel-jones","tag-fantasy","tag-football","tag-indianapolis","tag-indianapolis-colts","tag-indianapoliscolts","tag-nfl","tag-tyler-warren"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116291616150390964","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/833481","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=833481"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/833481\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/833482"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=833481"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=833481"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=833481"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
