In his NFL debut, Colts tight end Tyler Warren caught seven of his nine targets for 76 yards and finished as the TE3 in fantasy PPR formats.

With only a few exceptions, tight end was an absolute disaster for fantasy football managers in Week 1.

Brock Bowers, George Kittle and Evan Engram all left their games early with injuries -- with Kittle landing on injured reserve with a hamstring strain. As we get ready for this week's games, Bowers, Engram and Dallas Goedert are all questionable.

On the other hand, there were some pleasant surprises ... but can Tyler Warren, Juwan Johnson and Harold Fannin Jr. do it again?
