• Saints' Mason Tipton: Draws three targets versus Philly

  6D ago • By RotoWire

  Tipton gathered in two of three argets for 11 yards during Sunday's 15-12 loss versus the Eagles. Tipton tied with running back Alvin Kamara for the Saints' third-most targets Sunday. The undrafted wideout out of Yale logged targets on both the first and final offensive series of the game for the Saints. However, he did't see significantly more playing time than he did in the first two games of the season, as Tipton still logged fewer offensive snaps (18) than fellow wideouts Chris Olave (45), Rashid Shaheed (42) and Cedrick Wilson (25). Tipton's target share isn't significant enough to warrant much of any attention from fantasy owners, but his role as WR3/WR4 likely indicates that he's one of the next men up if Olave and/or Shaheed are forced to miss time with injury this season.

• Saints' Mason Tipton: Zero targets Week 2

  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.

  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.

• Saints' Mason Tipton: Not playing Sunday

  Tipton (hamstring) will not suit up for the Saints' preseason finale against the Titans on Sunday, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports. Tipton broke out early in training camp with his blazing speed, but a hamstring injury has prevented him from playing in all three preseason games for New Orleans. That will factor in Tipton's chances of making the 53-man roster at the end of training camp, though the Saints will likely try and keep the undrafted rookie around on the practice squad.

  Tipton left practice early Wednesday due to a hamstring injury, according to head coach Dennis Allen, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports. The injury is a tough blow for Tipton, who was receiving rave reviews early in training camp. The Yale product went undrafted in 2024 but has posted a 4.33-second 40-yard dash time, which he's put on display in practices, proving to be a potential downfield threat. It's not yet clear how long the 23-year-old could be sidelined with the injury.
