🏈 Fantasy impact

Warren is a must-sit this week. Managers should look for alternative starters, but the Colts’ other tight ends are not appealing fantasy options. Mo Alie-Cox has just 13.1 PPR points in six games, and Will Mallory has 4.0 PPR points in one game. Consider dropping Warren if you need roster space and streaming a tight end with a better matchup, but hold him in deeper leagues because of his season-long production.

Action: Sit Warren and stream a tight end with more upside for Week 7.
