Rookie fever

20 player stats + notes you need to know

January 29, 2025

Yooo! The nightmare has come true. An Eagles/Chiefs Super Bowl. I definitely won’t be “rooting” for one team to win this year, but who am I kidding… I’d be watching this game even if it was the Little Giants vs. Spike Hammersmith and the Cowboys.

Tyler Warren

Dynasty Rookie Draft Projection:

Fringe 1st round pick.

Strengths:

  1. Excellent pass-catcher with 98 receptions for 1,158 yards and 8 touchdowns in the 2024 season.

  2. Versatile player who can line up in various positions, including as an H-back and flex tight end.

  3. Strong yards-after-catch ability.

  4. Comfortable catching passes in traffic.

  5. Willingness as a blocker.

  6. Unique athleticism for the position.

Weaknesses:

  1. In-line blocking needs improvement.

  2. Can rely on raw tools rather than technique to get open.

  3. Not particularly sudden in tight spaces despite good overall athleticism.

NFL Potential:

Has the potential to become a significant offensive weapon in the NFL. His size (6'6", 257 pounds) and versatility make him an attractive prospect for teams looking to add a dynamic tight end to their offense. He could step into a TE1 role from day one in dynasty leagues.
