It only seems right (as barring the Monday Night Football game), Warren will finish Week 1 as PFF’s highest graded rookie. He led the Colts with 9 targets for 76 receiving yards on 7 receptions (10.9 ypc. avg.). He also had one carry for 3 yards, lined up at fullback in short yardage situationally.
