PositiveSleeperOct 19, 2026
Eighth overall pick in 2024 draft with strong training camp before mid-August hamstring injury; traveling with Saints to France for Week 7 game vs. Steelers and could return this week, though not yet designated to return from IR; FAAB bid strategy depends on return confirmation: $10 range if confirmed before bids due, $2-4 if status remains unclear and Saints have bye in Week 8 (no return until Week 9); high pedigree and training camp performance support upside if healthy.

Jordan Tyson, eighth overall pick to the Saints, is a screening value at his current ADP despite unknown rookie potential. Top-10 drafted receivers average 78 catches, 1,000 yards, and 6.4 TDs as rookies; Tyson meets that expectation baseline. In nine healthy games in 2025, he was second in the nation in targets with a dominant 35% target share. The source is confident when healthy and notes his hamstring appears fine at training camp. Tyler Shuck helped Chris Olave break into WR1 territory in half a season; before Rashid Shaheed was traded, Olave and Shaheed combined for 17 targets per game. Tyson as the WR2 should still see elite volume. The Saints' schedule features a favorable matchup at Detroit in week one (leaky secondary), making him a potential breakout candidate early.

The source ranks Jordan Tyson at WR31 personally, above his consensus WR38 (overall 87th) ADP, and views him as a strong WR3 with upside. The source acknowledges Tyson has holes in his game but compares him to Stevie Johnson and Brandon Iyuk pre-breakout, noting they weren't polished route runners but hit the ground running. The source's bull case hinges on Kellen Moore's play-calling and Tyler Shuck's second-year development. Over his final two college seasons, Tyson was 60th and 11th in yards per route run, and 12th and 15th in receiving grade. The source projects Tyson could see 120+ targets as the Saints' number two option if the offense maintains its late-season 2025 form (weeks 12-18 when the Saints were 5th in neutral passing rate and 11th in pass rate over expectation). The source believes the Saints offense could rank top 10-15 in scoring this season with more weapons for Shuck, creating volume opportunity for Tyson.

The source ranks Jordan Tyson at WR31 (consensus WR38, overall 87th) and believes he should be viewed as a strong WR3 with upside. Tyson is ranked above consensus and the source plans to keep drafting him. While not the most emphatic pre-draft advocate, the source sees parallels to Stevie Johnson and Brandon Iyuk—unpolished route runners who hit the ground running. Tyson's college production over final two seasons: 60th and 11th in yards per route run, 12th and 15th in receiving grade. The source emphasizes the volume upside as the number two option in the Saints passing attack. In weeks 12-18 last season, when Tyler Shuck broke out, the Saints offense ranked 5th in neutral passing rate and 11th in pass rate over expectation. If the Saints run that back with more weapons, the source projects the offense could be top-10 in passing volume, making Tyson a candidate for 120+ targets in his rookie season. Tyson is practicing in full at camp. The source expects Tyler Shuck to take a step in year two, which should benefit Tyson.
