Brock Bowers vs Tyler Warren: Who Should You Start?
Brock Bowers and Tyler Warren are both viable fantasy tight ends heading into 2026, but their 2025 production tells two different stories. Brock Bowers averaged 12.0 PPG across 12 games with the Las Vegas Raiders, while Tyler Warren posted 8.9 PPG in 17 appearances for the Indianapolis Colts.
A 3.1-PPG gap gives Brock Bowers the edge on paper, but paper does not account for Thursday night matchups, weather games, or a star defender returning from injury. The real question is not who was better in 2025, but who is the better start this specific week.
Both see steady target volume for the tight end position. Brock Bowers had 64 catches for 680 yards; Tyler Warren posted 76 for 817. At a position where most starters barely clear 7 PPG, this class of tight end is where the fantasy advantage lives week to week.
One scheduling note: Brock Bowers is off Week 10 and Tyler Warren Week 14. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in tight end for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.
