Mason Tipton's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Mason Tipton is coming off his best performance of the season. He hauled in six of his nine targets for 45 yards in the loss to the Denver Broncos. It was a surprisingly high workload for Tipton who hadn't finished with more than two receptions in any previous contests. It's worth noting that top wideout Chris Olave was sidelined last week, but is back now. That probably means that Tipton goes back to having a minimal role in the offense. Tipton is worth stashing in some dynasty formats, but isn't an ideal streaming option for the Week 8 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Mason Tipton could be in for an increased snap share in Week 7 with Chris Olave (concussion) and Rashid Shaheed (knee) both out. Tipton logged a season-high 41% share in Week 6 after Olave departed with his injury just three plays into the game. The extra run did not equate to a more productive day, however, and he finished with one catch for 15 yards on two targets. Unfortunately for Tipton, the Saints square off against the Denver Broncos on Thursday night. Denver has one of the stingiest defenses in the league this season and is allowing the fewest fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers. Despite the opportunity to see more time on the field, Tipton shouldn't be counted on as a fantasy asset.

New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver Mason Tipton (hamstring) left Wednesday's practice early with a hamstring injury. The severity of the injury is unknown, but this certainly puts his chances of playing in the Saints preseason opener in jeopardy. Tipton has been a standout at camp thus far and is making his case for a roster spot. The Yale product is smaller in stature (5-foot-9) and never eclipsed 1,000 yards in a season during his tenure as a Bulldog. However, he did run a 4.33 40-yard dash, and New Orleans does not boast impressive depth at wide receiver. In fact, behind Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed (hamstring), this WR room is ripe for the taking. Tipton is nothing more than a late-round dart throw (NFFC ADP 331) or deep-league stash, but someone to monitor, considering the hype.

New Orleans Saints undrafted rookie wide receiver Mason Tipton has been routinely hauling in long passes and running by defenders early in training camp this summer. The 5-foot-11, 187-pound Yale product ran a 4.33-second 40-yard dash on his pro day and is slowly earning his teammates' respect. He caught 132 passes for 2,067 yards and 19 touchdowns in four seasons at Yale and is looking to separate himself from a list of receivers behind starters Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed that includes A.T. Perry, Cedric Wilson, Stanley Morgan Jr., Bub Means and Equanimeous St. Brown. "I think he's got the skill set," head coach Dennis Allen said. "He's a smaller player, but he's got some real good quickness and he's a savvy route runner. He's got some football awareness, and so I think he understands kind of how to play the position." For now, Tipton is merely a player to watch as we near preseason action.
