We view Tyson as an upside WR3 who is worth a pick in Round 7 of full-PPR redraft leagues. Tyson may have more upside than anyone else in that range and a scarier floor. Those concerned about his injuries in college can't feel good about the fact that he has missed offseason work due to managing hamstring concerns. That's even more dangerous because the Saints already have a true WR1 in Chris Olave and won't have to rush Tyson or force-feed him targets early in the year. Still, if you overlook those concerns, there were many who thought Tyson was the best wide receiver in this class, and the 21-year-old did average 86 receiving yards per game in his last two years at Arizona State, with 18 touchdowns in 21 games. In Dynasty rookie drafts, Tyson should be a top-four pick in all formats and is ranked as a top-20 wide receiver in the format.

Saints' Jordyn Tyson: Remains limited at OTAs
Rotowire
Tyson (undisclosed) has remained a limited participant at OTAs this week, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.
The No. 8 overall pick in the Draft last month, Tyson was dealing with an injury during rookie minicamp earlier this month and has remained limited to start OTAs. The nature of the injury isn't known, but Tyson has been dressed out in full pads and a helmet, suggesting it's not an overly serious issue. Devaughn Vele has been getting extra reps with the first-team offense with Tyson limited to 7-on-7 work. Tyson should be ready for training camp later this summer.

Saints' Jordyn Tyson: Selected by Saints
Rotowire
The Saints selected Tyson in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft, eighth overall.
Tyson (6-foot-2, 203 pounds) had the best collegiate production profile between himself and fellow top wideout prospects Carnell Tate and Makai Lemon, but Tyson's injury history understandably caused some anxiety and until Thursday it was unclear whether NFL teams would red-flag Tyson over those injury concerns. That Tyson was picked this early seems to answer the question - the Saints looked into his knee and hamstring injuries and evidently decided to bet on his talent. Tyson suffered a torn ACL, MCL and PCL his true freshman season at Colorado, and hamstring troubles from his 2025 season followed Tyson into the offseason, leaving him unable to participate in pre-draft athletic testing. If one disregards the injuries as the NFL seemingly has, then there are otherwise only reasons to like Tyson. His production was compelling both at Arizona State and Colorado, and while Tyson won't ever be a great big-play threat he shows the ability to dice up the underneath to a high-volume extent, giving him clear 100-catch upside at the NFL level during his best years. Even as a rookie, Tyson should push for a heavy workload right away, likely running as the primary Saints wideout opposite Chris Olave.
