Tyler Warren Fantasy Overview

Colts WR Keenan Allen (groin) has been downgraded to out for Sunday morning's game vs. the Commanders in London. He opened the week with two limited practices before missing Friday's workout. We'll see if Allen misses more time beyond Week 4. With WR Alec Pierce on IR, Indianapolis is down to WRs Josh Downs, Darius Slayton, Laquon Treadwell, Ashton Dulin, and Deion Burks. We'll see if Slayton is ready to make his Colts debut after signing a couple of weeks ago, but he's not a realistic Week 4 fantasy start. Downs and TE Tyler Warren should control targets for the Colts this week.

Colts WR Keenan Allen led the WRs in fantasy scoring, catching 6 of 9 targets for 63 yards and a TD. Passing volume also rose for WR Josh Downs and TE Tyler Warren. Downs caught 5 of 10 targets for 77 yards, while Warren caught 9 of 10 targets for 55 yards. With WR Alec Pierce on IR, it appears the Colts will focus on their top three weapons in the passing game going forward.

Colts HC Shane Steichen confirmed Monday that WR Alec Pierce re-injured the heel he had offseason surgery on in Sunday night's loss to the Chiefs. Pierce left the stadium in a walking boot and on crutches. Steichen said Pierce is getting a second opinion on this latest injury, and ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports that Pierce is considered "week to week." Don't be surprised if he lands on short-term IR.

Colts WR Keenan Allen is facing a minimum 3-game suspension for his DUI arrest in August, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. But the league could opt for a longer ban because Allen's blood alcohol content was so high. Schefter confirms, though, that the league will wait for the legal process to play out before issuing the suspension. It's unclear exactly when the case will be wrapped, but the next hearing is not scheduled until October 26. It seems like there's a good chance Allen's suspension doesn't come until 2027, but we'll keep you updated on the situation. Allen ran a route on 76% of pass plays in the opener, tying for the team lead with a 19.4% target share. His absence would boost the target projections for Josh Downs, Alec Pierce, and Tyler Warren.
