News: 3 hours agoTyson isn't working with the Saints' first-team offense pregame ahead of Sunday's contest against the Browns, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.

Spin: Tyson is active Sunday for the first time in his career, but the rookie first-round pick is getting reps before kickoff behind the WR trio of Chris Olave, Devaughn Vele and Bryce Lance. The Saints offense regularly has operated with three wide receivers this season, but it appears Tyson will be mixing in as a reserve rather than taking on a starter-level role in his NFL debut.

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.
