Analysts Slot Saints Rookie Jordyn Tyson as WR2 With Mid-Round Fantasy Value

Overview

• New Orleans drafted the Arizona State wideout eighth overall, and coach Kellen Moore said the room moved to pick him almost instantly.
• ESPN’s Ben Solak labels him a long shot for Offensive Rookie of the Year and ranks him fifth among candidates.
• Projections place him behind Chris Olave on the depth chart, which points to a smaller target share.
• An ESPN mock draft selected him 72nd overall as WR33, signaling a mid-round fantasy price with FLEX appeal in 10-team leagues.
• The Saints played at the league’s fastest pace last season, which could lift his volume even as rookies such as Carnell Tate and Jeremiyah Love compete for attention.
