• Saints' Mason Tipton: Healthy scratch Sunday

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  Tipton (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Browns. Despite the Saints having three wide receivers on injured reserve and five on the active roster, Tipton will remain in street clothes Sunday while Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Cedrick Wilson, Kevin Austin and Dante Pettis will man the position. Tipton's next chance for game action will come after a Week 12 bye on Sunday, Dec. 1 versus the Rams.

• Saints' Mason Tipton: Held catchless Week 9

  18D ago • By RotoWire

  Tipton failed to bring in any of his three targets during Sunday's 23-22 loss against Carolina. Tipton played over 75.0 percent of offensive snaps for the third game in a row, and he was the only Saints wideout to play over 50.0 percent of these snaps. However, he still logged a paltry three targets despite an early exit for Saints' No. 1 wideout Chris Olave, who sustained a concussion in the first quarter. Instead, running back Alvin Kamara and do-it-all tight end Taysom Hill were the top two in targets with nine and five, respectively. Tipton tallied a season-high nine targets when Olave was ruled out ahead of the Week 7 loss to Denver, and it therefore stands to reason Tipton could be featured more if Olave is once again ruled out ahead of Sunday's game versus the Falcons.

• Saints' Mason Tipton: Stays busy in Week 7 loss

  Tipton secured six of nine targets for 45 yards and returned one kickoff for 21 yards in the Saints' 33-10 loss to the Broncos on Thursday night. The undrafted rookie from Yale unsurprisingly saw a significantly extended role with Chris Olave (concussion), Rashid Shaheed (knee) and Taysom Hill (ribs) all out for New Orleans. Tipton came into the night with a 6-40 line on 11 targets over his first five games, so his numbers Thursday essentially matched what he'd accomplished as a pro to date. The solid performance could be a sign of what's to come for Tipton the rest of the season, as Shaheed has been ruled out for the remainder of the campaign.

• Saints' Mason Tipton: Zero targets Week 2

  09/17/2024 • By RotoWire

  Tipton logged zero targets during Sunday's 44-19 win over the Cowboys. Tipton played exactly 15 offensive snaps for the second game in a row. He still saw the third-most playing time of any New Orleans wideout behind Chris Olave (42) and Rashid Shaheed (39). However, there weren't many opportunities to go around in the receiving game, as the Saints logged 39 rushing attempts across 56 total offensive plays. Tipton could see an immediate uptick in production if either Olave or Shaheed miss time moving forward, though he doesn't have much, if any, fantasy value otherwise.

• Saints' Mason Tipton: Ready for Week 1

  Tipton (hamstring) is not on the Saints' injury report Wednesday. Tipton has moved past a hamstring injury that kept him out of the team's final preseason game. When he takes the field Sunday against the Panthers, assuming he isn't inactive, he will be making his NFL debut after securing a spot on the 53-man roster as an undrafted free agent out of Yale. Currently listed at the bottom of the team's depth chart at wide receiver, it's unlikely he sees many opportunities, but he clearly impressed New Orleans' staff in camp and possesses a 4.33-second 40-yard dash time.
