Should You Start or Roster Jordyn Tyson?
Many evaluators tabbed Tyson as the top receiver in his class, and the landing spot helps the case: New Orleans leaned heavily on the pass down the stretch in 2025, finishing fifth in neutral dropback rate from Week 12 on. He projects as the clear second option behind Chris Olave, catching balls from Tyler Shough, and the redraft math reflects real belief—an ADP near pick 63 (WR32) with projections of roughly 64 grabs, 893 yards and 4.5 scores. His Arizona State tape backs it up, averaging 86 yards per game over his final two college seasons with 18 touchdowns across 21 contests.
The catch is health. A lingering hamstring problem followed him out of college and already limited him through spring work, with rehab expected to stretch into camp. That risk caps his floor and could slow his early ramp behind an established veteran. Treat him as a Round 7 dart with WR2 upside if the leg cooperates, and a strong dynasty target around the top of rookie drafts.
