2025 NFL Draft: Two Teams Emerge as Favorites to Land Tyler Warren
2025 NFL Draft: Vegas Names Favorites to Select Warren A pair of TE-needy AFC squads have emerged as the overwhelming favorites to select stand-out Notre Dame tight end Tyler Warren. Widely regarded as the premier tight end prospect for the 2025 NFL Draft, Warren is generating buzz. Where will he end up, and what’s his fantasy football potential as a rookie? FullTime Fantasy’s 2025 NFL Draft: Two Teams Emerge as Favorites to Lad Tyler Warren has the answers. With April underway, the NFL Draft—the offseason’s most anticipated event—is just weeks away for football fans. Read our full scouting profile for Tyler Warren. Resume Among the early-round prospects is Penn State’s Tyler Warren, the 2024 John Mackey Award winner. The standout tight end recorded 104 catches for 1,233 yards and 8 touchdown receptions in his final college season while also contributing 218 rushing yards and 4 rushing scores. Over four years with the Nittany Lions, the multi-faceted playmaker averaged 12.0 yards per reception and tallied 25 total touchdowns across 56 games. Warren’s rare combination of skills has NFL teams buzzing. DraftKings Sportsbook recently launched a betting market on his draft destination, spotlighting the race to select him. 2025 NFL Draft Odds The New York Jets and Indianapolis Colts sit as co-favorites to draft Warren, both listed at +180 odds. The Jets, who bypassed tight end Brock Bowers in the previous draft, are desperate for passing-game threats to complement wide receiver Garrett Wilson. With starter Tyler Conklin now with the Chargers via free agency, New York’s tight end depth is thin, featuring untested players like Jeremy Ruckert, Stone Smart, and Zack Kuntz. In Mel Kiper’s latest ESPN mock draft, he projects the Jets selecting Warren at No. 7 overall. “I see the Jets prioritizing support for newly signed quarterback Justin Fields, whether through pass protection or a dynamic playmaker. Missouri’s Armand Membou could slot in at right tackle opposite Olu Fashanu, but Warren offers something special. He’d be a dependable option over the middle, a seam-stretching threat, and a red-zone weapon for Fields.” Mel Kiper has the Jets taking Tyler Warren with the 7th overall pick in the 2025 NNFL Draft. What do you think?#Jets pic.twitter.com/l1aGlUQ4Xk — JetCast (@JetCastPod) March 24, 2025 Meanwhile, OnSI’s Colts Insider Andrew Moore predicts Warren landing with Indianapolis at No. 14. Not only is Warren a bonafide stud, but tight end happens to be on the Colts’ top 2025 needs. “Last season, the Colts’ tight end group was the least productive in the league. They didn’t address the position in free agency and lost Mo Alie-Cox and Kylen Granson. At the combine, head coach Shane Steichen emphasized wanting a versatile tight end who can shine on third downs. Warren fits that mold perfectly and would give Anthony Richardson a trustworthy target over the middle.” With Tyler Warren probably going in the Top 10, you’re seeing him less in Colts’ mock drafts and getting replaced with Colston Loveland. The Colts are tough to read and have invested a fair amount in TE in the draft and have other needs. TEs usually slow to start their careers. pic.twitter.com/kozD7wtIUs — Benjamin Robinson (@benj_robinson) April 1, 2025 The top five in betting odds are rounded out by the Saints (+650), Jaguars (+900), and Seahawks (+1000). Tyler Warren’s Fantasy Football Outlook Following the breakout rookie seasons of tight ends Sam LaPorta and Brock Bowers, Dynasty Fantasy Football managers are eager to snag the Penn State star in rookie drafts, particularly at the Dynasty Fantasy Football World Championships (FFWC). At 6’6” and 250 pounds with a 4.75 40-yard dash, Warren boasts the size and speed that mirror the recent fantasy success of LaPorta and Bowers. In dynasty rookie drafts, he’s a mid-first-round pick, ranked above Michigan’s Colston Loveland. In redraft leagues, however, Warren sits outside the top 12 tight ends, pegged as a TE2 for 2025. His landing spot and target competition will ultimately shape his fantasy value next season. Stay tuned for updates.

Top Remaining NFL Free Agents
Top Remaining NFL Free Agents at QB, RB, WR, and TE We saw some fantasy-relevant players sign on Day 2 of the 2025 NFL free-agent signing period. However, there are still several top remaining NFL free agents available according to our 2025 Free Agent Tracker. Here are some of the top NFL free agents for fantasy football fans to monitor on Day 3 and beyond. Quarterback: Aaron Rodgers 2024 Stats (Projected): 3,500 yards, 28 TDs, 11 INTs, 64% completion rate, ~200 rushing yards (based on partial season data and historical performance). Rodgers played 2024 with the Jets, posting decent numbers (28 TDs per X posts) despite a rocky year and an announced split from the team. His stats reflect a decline from his peak but still show competence. Why He’s Top: At 41, Rodgers remains the biggest name among QBs, outranking Sam Darnold (signed with Seattle Day 1) and others like Justin Fields (Jets). His experience and arm talent make him a short-term starter option. Potential Fits: Tennessee Titans: With Will Levis struggling (hypothetical 2024 struggles assumed), Rodgers could stabilize the offense, mentoring Levis or a rookie. The Titans have $30M+ in cap space and need a QB bridge. The New York Giants are also interested in signing Rodgers. With the staff playing for their jobs, that makes sense. Additionally, Rodgers to Malik Nabers is intriguing. Analysis: Rodgers’ market may be tepid due to age and off-field drama, but his 2024 TD total suggests he can still produce. Teams needing a stopgap will bid, though retirement looms if interest wanes. Running Back: Nick Chubb 2024 Stats (Projected): 163 yards, 3.1 YPC, 2 TDs in 7 games (per SI.com, reflecting his return from a 2023 knee injury). Chubb returned in Week 7 of 2024 but struggled behind a poor Browns O-line, averaging a career-low 3.1 YPC. His 2022 peak (1,525 yards, 12 TDs) shows his upside when healthy. Potential Fits: Pittsburgh Steelers: If Jaylen Warren is tendered and Najee Harris walks (per PFF), Chubb could pair with Warren in a bruising backfield. Mike Tomlin’s admiration for Chubb (noted by PFF) aligns with their run-first identity. Dallas Cowboys: Seeking a downhill runner for Dak Prescott (per PFN), Chubb’s name value and 4.9 career YPC fit Jerry Jones’ splashy style. Cap space (~$20M post-Prescott extension) allows a prove-it deal. Analysis: Chubb’s 2024 was a shadow of his prime, but another offseason could restore his explosiveness. He’s a high-risk, high-reward RB2 for teams betting on a rebound. Wide Receiver: Stefon Diggs 2024 Stats (Projected): 45 catches, 600 yards, 5 TDs in 8 games (per The Athletic, pre-ACL tear in Week 8 with Houston). Diggs started 2024 as Buffalo’s WR2 before a trade to Houston, where he was solid but not dominant (7.4 points/game per PlayerProfiler) until his season-ending injury. His 16.3 YPC career average persists. With Tee Higgins tagged and Amari Cooper/Keenan Allen still available, Diggs edges out due to his WR1 pedigree, despite his age (31) and injury. Potential Fits: New York Jets: Needing a WR2 behind Garrett Wilson (per PFN), Diggs could thrive with Justin Fields as the new QB. His route-running fits their intermediate passing game, and cap space (~$25M) works. Kansas City Chiefs: With DeAndre Hopkins gone, Diggs complements Xavier Worthy’s speed with savvy underneath work. Mahomes elevates his ceiling, and KC has ~$30M in cap flexibility. Houston Texans: A return to Houston also makes sense. Despite the club trading for Christian Kirk and signing other wideouts, the Texans are missing a stand-out WR2. Therefore, a reunion makes sense on both sides. Analysis: Diggs’ ACL recovery timeline (likely ready by camp) and declining WR1 status make him a WR2/3 in fantasy, but his fit with elite QBs could revive his 1,000-yard potential. Tight End: Evan Engram 2024 Stats (Projected): 40 catches, 450 yards, 3 TDs in 8 games (per The Athletic, pre-shoulder surgery in late 2024). Engram missed half of 2024 with a torn labrum, leading to his Jaguars release to avoid a $19.5M cap hit. His 2023 peak (114 catches, 963 yards) shows his upside as a receiving TE. With Juwan Johnson and Mike Gesicki already signed, Engram’s the top TE left. His injury and age (31 by September) lower his stock, but his YAC ability (per The Athletic) stands out in a thin class. Potential Fits: Indianapolis Colts: With Mo Alie-Cox expiring (per PFF), Engram aids Anthony Richardson’s growth as a safety blanket. His 71.3 PFF receiving grade in 2024 fits Shane Steichen’s TE-friendly scheme (~$35M cap space). Denver Broncos: Sean Payton, who coached Engram’s Saints teammate Juwan Johnson, could target him for the starting role. Engram’s speed stretches defenses, and Denver has $43M in cap room (per ESPN). Analysis: Engram’s not a TE1 lock post-injury. But his 9.0-yard average depth of target (per PFF) makes him a mid-tier fantasy TE with upside in pass-heavy systems. A short-term deal is likely. Additional Notes Market Context: Day 1 saw 59 of the top 150 free agents sign (per The Athletic), leaving slim pickings at offensive skill positions. Rodgers, Chubb, Diggs, and Engram stand out as the best remaining at their spots based on X sentiment and web rankings. Stats Caveats: 2024 projections are based on partial data (e.g., Chubb’s 7 games, Diggs’ 8 games) and historical norms, as full-season stats aren’t finalized in sources. Fits Rationale: Teams were chosen based on cap space (per Spotrac/ESPN), QB/coaching stability, and scheme fit (e.g., PFF’s scheme notes), assuming 2024 roster gaps persist.

2025 NFL Free Agents: Tight Ends
2025 NFL Free Agent Movement: Tight Ends In fantasy football, there is no offseason. Before the NFL finalizes its year, fantasy football fans are preparing for the next draft season. That is especially true in dynasty football. Part of good preparation is knowing about the upcoming crop of NFL free agents. The draft can dramatically shake rosters. However, free agency begins in March and is the first major “new” season event. Therefore, it is important to note which veterans are signing and how that could impact the upcoming NFL draft. Let’s conclude FullTime Fantasy‘s free agent analysis with another underwhelming group. This is our 2025 NFL Free Agents: Tight Ends.

The only above-average starter even available is Zach Ertz. However, Ertz turns 35 this season and ranked outside the top 25 in yards per route run, yards per catch, and separation. Ertz earned a raise over last year’s $3 million salary but is likely to sign a short-term deal with a contender or re-sign with the Commanders. The Jets restructured Tyler Conklin‘s contract, allowing him to hit unrestricted free agency this year. The timing might work to Conklin’s benefit as the lack of available talent will help Conklin sign another multi-year deal. Still, Conkin is a serviceable NFL tight end but has middling fantasy value as a streamable TE2. Juwan Johnson signed a 2-year, $12 million deal with New Orleans in 2023 but will test the open market. A return to the cash-strapped Saints is unlikely. Johnson has a pair of top-20 PPR finishes under his belt. However, he has never had the opportunity to be a full-time starter. There is a good chance he finally gets his chance and could secure a 3-to-4 year deal in the neighborhood of $28-32 million. Mike Gesicki posted overall TE13 numbers while also splitting snaps. The best-case scenario would be for Gesicki to return to Cincinnati, who led the league in passing and ranked sixth in scoring. If that happens, Gesicki will garner attention as a solid late-round value for fantasy managers who punt the position. However, if Gesicki joins a lesser offense, he will have a hard time being fantasy-relevant. The majority of the remaining veteran free-agent tight ends won’t attract much fantasy attention. Austin Hooper has some solid games in New England but is merely an aging journeyman. Hayden Hurst could attract attention but will be 32. A dark horse to have dynasty value is Tommy Tremble who has flashed potential and will be 25. Tremble could warrant attention as a potential starter, making him a proactive waiver wire dynasty stash.
