Fantasy Tiers

Tyler Conklin: Tier 5 (Deep League) TE (ranked #99 at the position). Tyler Warren: Tier 2 (Strong Starter) TE (ranked #12 at the position). Among the top 30 tight ends this season, Tyler Conklin is producing at 34% of elite pace and Tyler Warren at 40%. That ranking gap means Tyler Warren carries more trade value and a higher draft cost in 2026.

Tyler Conklin vs Tyler Warren: The Full Breakdown

This is a genuine coin flip on paper. Tyler Conklin finished the 2025 season at 7.5 PPG over 17 games with the New York Jets, while Tyler Warren clocked in at 8.9 across 17 appearances for the Indianapolis Colts. A 1.4-point gap means any given week could go either way.

With a margin this thin, season averages are not the deciding factor. Weekly variables like opponent defense, game script, and injury status carry more weight than a fraction of a PPG. The right start in Week 6 might be the wrong start in Week 14.

Tyler Warren is the volume tight end in this matchup with 76 receptions for 817 yards, while Tyler Conklin profiles as a more touchdown-dependent spike play (3 scores on 50 catches). In weeks where Tyler Conklin finds the end zone he out-scores Tyler Warren, but the floor gap is real.

One scheduling note: Tyler Conklin is off Week 12 and Tyler Warren Week 13. 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.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

Both are in a similar trade value range. A straight swap would be fair in most leagues, with the tiebreaker going to whichever manager values schedule or bye week more. Dynasty outlook: Tyler Conklin (age 27) is in the middle of his productive window. Stable dynasty value. Tyler Warren (age 24) has years of prime production ahead. Buy-and-hold dynasty asset.
