DraftCall Analytics

Start Dallas Goedert over Tyler Warren in 2026.

Dallas Goedert averaged 10.3 PPG in 2025 to Tyler Warren's 8.9, a 1.4 point per game edge. Both play tight ends, so that per-game gap is the cleanest tiebreaker for a 2026 start or sit. Both land in Tier 2 at the position, so this is closer than the raw gap suggests.

The Bottom Line

This one is genuinely close. Dallas Goedert edges Tyler Warren by 1.4 PPG, but both are in the same production tier. The decision comes down to weekly matchup, not season-long resume. If you are choosing between them in a draft, Dallas Goedert goes slightly earlier based on volume, but do not reach for the difference.

Low confidence: the production gap is narrow enough that weekly context matters more than the season line.

Fantasy Tiers

Dallas Goedert: Tier 2 (Elite) TE (ranked #5 at the position). Tyler Warren: Tier 2 (Strong Starter) TE (ranked #12 at the position). Among the top 30 tight ends this season, Dallas Goedert is producing at 47% of elite pace and Tyler Warren at 40%. That ranking gap means Dallas Goedert carries more trade value and a higher draft cost in 2026.

Dallas Goedert vs Tyler Warren: The Full Breakdown

This is a genuine coin flip on paper. Dallas Goedert finished the 2025 season at 10.3 PPG over 15 games with the Philadelphia Eagles, while Tyler Warren clocked in at 8.9 across 17 appearances for the Indianapolis Colts. A 1.4-point gap means any given week could go either way.

With a margin this thin, season averages are not the deciding factor. Weekly variables like opponent defense, game script, and injury status carry more weight than a fraction of a PPG. The right start in Week 6 might be the wrong start in Week 14.

Tyler Warren is the volume tight end in this matchup with 76 receptions for 817 yards, while Dallas Goedert profiles as a more touchdown-dependent spike play (11 scores on 60 catches). In weeks where Dallas Goedert finds the end zone he out-scores Tyler Warren, but the floor gap is real.

One scheduling note: Dallas Goedert is off Week 10 and Tyler Warren Week 13. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in tight end for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

Both are in a similar trade value range. A straight swap would be fair in most leagues, with the tiebreaker going to whichever manager values schedule or bye week more. Dynasty outlook: Dallas Goedert (age 31) is in the later years of production. Still a redraft asset, but dynasty value is declining. Tyler Warren (age 24) has years of prime production ahead. Buy-and-hold dynasty asset.
