News: 4 hours agoTyson caught four of five targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 23-22 overtime win over the Browns. He also lost a fumble.

Spin: It wasn't the most dynamic performance from the eighth overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, but it was just good to see Tyson on the field after he missed the first seven games of the season due to hamstring trouble, even if his longest gain went for just nine yards. Tyson's role in the offense figures to grow quickly if he can stay healthy, and he has the talent to put together a productive second half as the No. 2 option behind Chris Olave for quarterback Tyler Shough.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Tyson was selected by the Saints with the No. 8 overall pick of April's draft. He is a versatile receiver with decent size who led this rookie class with a 35% target share during the nine weeks he was active in 2025. Injuries cost him time during all four collegiate seasons, but he still managed a 158-2,282-22 receiving line in 33 games, posting a strong 2.73 YPRR along the way (third best in this class). Tyson suffered a hamstring injury in August and will miss a month or two of the regular season prior to taking over as the Saints' No. 2 receiver behind Chris Olave. Once healthy, Tyson has a path to a substantial role in an ascending offense led by second-year QB Tyler Shough and could find himself on the WR3 radar. Of course, with the injury, he's only worth a late flier.
