Should You Start or Roster Carson Towt?
Towt arrives in Indianapolis as a developmental tight end carrying intriguing physical tools: a 6'8", 250-pound frame out of Notre Dame that gives him a massive catch radius and red-zone target potential. But the practical reality for 2026 is buried deep on the depth chart, with roughly zero percent roster share and no published projections to point to. He profiles as a true rookie project, not a Week 1 contributor.
The ranking landscape backs that up - he sits around the 21st tight end, firmly in waiver-wire territory rather than draftable range. There's no ADP, no established target role, and no proven production to bet on yet. Until he climbs the Colts' pecking order, Towt is a deep-league stash whose size flashes upside but whose 2026 fantasy value is negligible. Monitor camp reps before spending any roster spot.
