Quick answer
HoldWarren caught 76 passes for 817 yards in 2025, finishing TE5. He scored about 11% less than his touches said he should. He's 24 — that's peak TE age, not a wait-and-see profile. The 2026 projection is modest — the role has to hold. This reads as a hold — nothing in the recent signal pushes it toward a buy or a sell.
