Colts' 2025 offense surges through three weeks with Shane Steichen steering a versatile attack. Jonathan Taylor unleashes bursts, Pittman Jr. powers through contact, Alec Pierce stretches the field, and Tyler Warren adds playmaking in two-tight looks. James Cook’s late-week sprint in New York underscores a diverse, high-volume unit that also handles a tougher mood against Denver and Tennessee. The defense is solid enough to back the firepower, making Indianapolis a steady fantasy staple.

Josh Allen anchors the QB rankings at week three while Lamar Jackson and Jalen Hurts hold steady in the top tier. Patrick Mahomes remains a fantasy staple despite a tougher defensive draw, buoyed by rushing upside. Caleb Williams and Drake May crack the top-10, underscoring dual‑threat ceilings beyond the pro ranks. Tyler Warren is an automatic TE1, with Brock Bowers and Jake Ferguson anchoring the tight end group. Dak Prescott’s Bears game, plus a high‑scoring Cowboys slate, boosts passing volume and fantasy upside across the board.

Expect big weeks from high‑variance plays like Kyler Murray and Justin Fields if healthy, while Stafford and Rodgers present upside in favorable matchups. The tight end carousel centers Hawkinson, Kincaid, and Jawan Johnson, with Hawkinson facing a Bengals defense that can be exploited. Streaming options and injury updates loom large as the season progresses, emphasizing weeks three as a pivot point for rosters and lineups.

Tyler Warren stands out as the season’s rookie cheat code at tight end, with the Colts expected to feature him in a role that blends receiving targets and goal-line chances. His floor could push into the top four TE pace thanks to designed plays and red-zone opportunities, while his ceiling includes 6-7 receiving TDs and a thousand-yard receiving year augmented by occasional rush usage. The Nova list cements Warren among the elite, encouraging dynasty managers to pounce and redraft players to monitor early involvement.

The discussion leans into aggressive moves: trading KD-down to Warren, chasing Warren in Underdog battles, and treating him as a potential season-defining asset even in shallower rosters. Watch for early snap counts and Colts’ red-zone design to gauge whether Warren sustains elite pace beyond Week 1.
