Jordyn Tyson Fantasy Football Outlook With The New Orleans Saints<\/p>\n
All offseason, I\u2019ve been mocking wide receivers to the Saints. Not only is there a glaring need at the position, but the offense is also so fantasy-friendly. Kellen Moore came in last season and, per usual, implemented a fast-paced offense. The Saints led the NFL in no-huddle rate last year (22.7%), while their 2.2 plays per minute also paced the league. Pace and play volume will certainly be on Tyson\u2019s side right out of the gate.<\/p>\n
Moore is also going to utilize plenty of motion, which benefited Olave quite a bit. This past season, the Saints used shift-motion 63% of the time (5th), a 9% increase from 2024. Olave, meanwhile, ran the eighth-most routes from motion (91), getting him plenty of free releases and easy looks. Tyson is a tremendous separator, but those schemed, layup looks would be welcomed, especially as a rookie.<\/p>\n
Simply put, the Saints need more help at wideout. The year started without a productive duo of Olave and Rashid Shaheed<\/a>, but once the latter was moved at the deadline, no other receivers made an impact. From Week 10 on, Olave dominated, posting a 31% target share and 27% TPRR. The next closest wideout? Devaughn Vele<\/a> at 18% and 16%, respectively.<\/p>\n Should You Plan to Draft Jordyn Tyson?<\/p>\n If you like upside, then absolutely.<\/p>\n Disregarding health, Tyson has the highest ceiling of any wideout in this draft class. And the pace of play in New Orleans allows for enough plays for Olave to remain a must-start fantasy wideout in our fantasy football rankings<\/a>, while Tyson can truly enter fantasy lineups early and often.<\/p>\n Tyson\u2019s skill set is conducive to earning targets at a relatively high rate, which will make him more than fantasy relevant. His league-winning upside is likely capped with the presence of Olave, but Tyson can post top-36 numbers in an ascending Saints offense.<\/p>\n 2026 Scouting Report For Jordyn Tyson<\/p>\n Turns out being coached by Hines Ward will help your progression as a wide receiver.<\/p>\n Tyson has the ability to play every role as a wideout, whether it\u2019s inside or outside. He\u2019s a mastermind route-runner, creating separation against press coverage more often than not. And even when the space between him and a defender isn\u2019t the greatest, Tyson can make up for it with tremendous body control and desire at the catch point.\u00a0<\/p>\n Of course, the main knock against Tyson as a prospect is health. He suffered a brutal season-ending injury in 2022, followed by a broken collarbone in 2024. This past season, Tyson suffered multiple hamstring injuries, though it appears the latter is no longer a concern. If the main concern regarding a player is health, it probably means they are pretty damn good at football. But as the cliche says, \u201cthe best ability is availability.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n For a more in-depth breakdown of Tyson\u2019s game, check out our Jordyn Tyson scouting report<\/a>.<\/p>\n Trusted by 400,000+ fantasy football players.
