PositiveUsage0:16

Chris Alave was heavily utilized in New Orleans last year and doesn't provide much after-the-catch value, limiting his versatility compared to Tyson.

Insight page

Denzel Boston

Insight page

Jeremiyah Love

PositiveBreakout0:16

Insight page

Jordyn Tyson

PositiveBreakout0:00

Jordyn Tyson is positioned as a breakout candidate with ridiculous fantasy football upside; the episode analyzes both analytics and film evidence supporting his emergence potential, including green flags from both analytical metrics and on-field performance, with consideration of his landing spot in Kellen Moore's offense and coexistence with Chris Olave.

Insight page
PositiveProjection0:01

As a true freshman at Colorado in 2022, Tyson averaged 21.4 yards per catch and 2.79 yards per route run at age 18, exceeding the career highs of Casey Conpsion and Denzel Boston, and this wasn't even his best year.

Insight page
PositiveRole0:01

Despite only starting three games as a true freshman at Colorado in 2022, Tyson finished as the team's most productive wide receiver.

Insight page
NegativeInjury0:01

Insight page
PositiveBreakout0:01

In 2024 at Arizona State, Tyson had an exceptional year with 75 catches, 1,100 yards, and 10 touchdowns, averaging over 3.5 times as many receiving yards per game as the next closest wide receiver.

Insight page
PositiveProjection0:01

In 2025, Tyson had another great year averaging 90 yards per game before injuries took their toll.

Insight page
PositiveProjection0:02

Scott Barrett's model likes Tyson the most among wide receivers in the class because he had the best age-adjusted yards per team pass attempt season, with no close second, and also the second-best such season in the class.

Insight page
PositiveProjection0:03

Tyson has S-tier body control and is described as an acrobat in the air who plays above the rim on a regular basis, with truly functional athleticism that is special.

Insight page
NegativeRole0:04

While many claim Tyson is a good route runner, Brett Whitefield states he is not, as he lacks the detail to be a consistent route runner, though his physical profile suggests he could develop into one.

Insight page
PositiveBreakout0:04

Brett Whitefield believes Tyson could end up being the best receiver in the class if he hits his ceiling, given his elite physical profile and potential as a route runner.

Insight page
PositiveRole0:04

Tyson is an elite run-after-catch player with excellent wiggle, ability to find space, vision, and the capacity to eradicate pursuit angles through positioning, acceleration, and cuts.

Insight page
PositiveUsage0:04

Tyson is bullish as a run-after-catch player with excellent body control, flexibility, athleticism, vision, and the ability to eradicate pursuit angles through positioning, acceleration, and cuts.

Insight page
PositiveRole0:05

Tyson has positional versatility with the size, length, and athleticism to play all three wide receiver spots.

Insight page
PositiveRole0:05

Tyson has positional versatility with the size, length, and athleticism to play all three wide receiver spots, and lands in a favorable situation with Kell Moore, who is described as the most mismatch-driven play caller in the league.

Insight page
PositiveProjection0:07

Tyson's per-target efficiency was in the 15th percentile in college, which is awful, and his career yards after the catch per reception (minus screens) was in the 14th percentile.

Insight page
NegativeProjection0:08

Tyson's 5th percentile career missed tackles forced per reception (minus screens) is a major red flag, and his high targets per route run (top 10 this past decade) is not predictive, as evidenced by other first/second-round receivers with similar metrics who underperformed.

Insight page
PositiveBust0:08

Tyson lacks competitive toughness after the catch, often just falling to the ground, and underwhelmed in contested catch situations despite being a target hog in college.

Insight page
PositiveProjection0:09

Tyson has more upside than Carnell Tate but is riskier, while Tate is much safer with a relatively similar ceiling.

Insight page
PositiveRole0:10

Tyson's efficiency is negatively impacted when he receives double coverage and safety help over the top, reducing his run-after-catch opportunities.

Insight page
PositiveProjection0:10

When Tyson gets iso opportunities against Arizona State, he absolutely dominated, showing strong efficiency in clean situations.

Insight page
PositiveProjection0:10

Tyson is a good-enough run-after-catch player described as a creative open field runner, but not elite in that area compared to top-tier prospects.

Insight page
PositiveProjection0:10

Tyson's quarterback was injured throughout his final year and he played through injuries, which could have impacted his yards per target and yards after catch metrics.

Insight page
PositiveUsage0:11

In 2024, Tyson had 3.5 times as many receiving yards as the next closest wide receiver, demonstrating dominant target share and minimal target competition.

Insight page
PositiveProjection0:12

Tyson is positioned on a spectrum between Quinton Johnston and CD Lamb, with outcomes ranging from CD Lamb-level success to a slower development trajectory.

Insight page
PositiveProjection0:12

In the best-case scenario, Tyson could be a CD Lamb clone with similar play style and athletic profile, though with potentially more ceiling than Quinton Johnston.

Insight page
PositiveMatchup0:13

The landing spot with Kell Moore makes Tyson more appealing, as Moore is the most matchup-specific play caller in the league who devises game plans around individual matchups.

Insight page
PositiveRole0:13

Kell Moore's matchup-specific play-calling makes Tyson more attractive as a landing spot. Moore will utilize Tyson as a one-on-one slot weapon who can win routes in space, similar to how he transitioned Chris Alave to the slot.

Insight page
PositiveProjection0:15

Analytics suggest Tyson may already be the top target earner on the Saints, with potential to feast in the short area and open things up for Chris Alave deep.

Insight page
PositiveBreakout0:16

Tyson is a player to attack in dynasty rookie drafts, targeting top-3 in single-QB leagues and top-4 in superflex leagues alongside Carnell Tate, Mendoza, and Jeremiah Love.

Insight page

Tyson is a three-level target who can be utilized more in space and out of the slot than Chris Alave, with better after-the-catch ability and versatility across the field.
