News: 16 hours agoSaints coach Kellen Moore said Wednesday that Tyson should get "a healthy dose more" of snaps in Sunday's game against the Panthers, Jeff Nowak of WWL Radio reports.

Spin: Tyson played just 18 snaps and lost a fumble on his first catch this past Sunday against the Browns, but there were some positives from his regular-season debut, including a strong target rate (five targets on 16 routes). While there's no assurance of a full-time role, Tyson at least figures to take more snaps away from fellow rookie Bryce Lance, if not from veteran Devaughn Vele.

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.
