Brock Bowers vs Tyler WarrenWho should you start in 2026 fantasy football?

Brock Bowers is the better fantasy start for 2026, averaging 12.0 PPG to Tyler Warren's 8.9 in 2025. Full head to head breakdown below.

The Bottom Line

Brock Bowers is the better fantasy play this season.

Brock Bowers has the edge, but it is not a runaway. The 3.1-PPG advantage is real (12.0 to 8.9), and Brock Bowers's 7 touchdowns show scoring upside. Tyler Warren is the buy-low candidate if recent production has dipped, because the talent gap is smaller than the numbers suggest.

Moderate confidence: stats favor the leader, but matchup variance could flip this weekly.

Fantasy Tiers

Brock Bowers: Tier 1 (Elite) TE (ranked #4 at the position). Tyler Warren: Tier 2 (Strong Starter) TE (ranked #12 at the position). Among the top 30 tight ends this season, Brock Bowers is producing at 55% of elite pace and Tyler Warren at 40%. That ranking gap means Brock Bowers carries more trade value and a higher draft cost in 2026.

Brock Bowers vs Tyler Warren: The Full Breakdown

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 thing to note: both players share a Week 13 bye. That means you need a backup plan at tight end for that week, especially if one of these two is your starter.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

If you can acquire Brock Bowers at a discount because your league-mates undervalue tight end production, do it. Tyler Warren is a reasonable sell-high candidate if his recent games have spiked above his season average. Dynasty outlook: Brock Bowers (age 23) has years of prime production ahead. Buy-and-hold dynasty asset. Tyler Warren (age 24) has years of prime production ahead. Buy-and-hold dynasty asset.
