Texans focused on Colts' pass catcher for Week 3 game
The Texans are expecting Colts' TE Tyler Warren to be a "focal point" in the pass game without Alec Pierce.
The Houston Texans are preparing for their Week 3 game against the Indianapolis Colts, focusing on the team's pass catcher, tight end Tyler Warren. With Alec Pierce out on injured reserve, Warren is expected to be a game-changer for the Colts' offense. Warren has been a focal point in the passing game so far, with 12 targets, which is tied for the most on the team.
However, his production has been limited, with just 34 receiving yards so far. His average depth of target is just 1.4 yards from the line of scrimmage, according to PFF. Defenses are effectively defending Warren and the Colts' offense, which has struggled without a deep threat. Head Coach DeMeco Ryans believes Warren can make a significant impact, but it will be up to offensive coordinator Shane Steichen to find creative ways to get him the ball and create chunk plays.
