BALLER MOVE: Sit
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR7
ANALYSIS: Other than one game with nine targets, five catches, and 45 yards, New Orleans Saints wide receiver Mason Tipton hasn't been startable in fantasy football. That game also happened to be a blowout loss to the Denver Broncos. Tipton hasn't made an impact at any meaningful point in a game this season.
Mason Tipton led all Saints players in routes run in Week 9.
Mason. Tipton.

There are small signs for optimism, but his increased usage, at least in running routes, was due to the injury to Chris Olave (concussion), who was delivered a real hospital ball by quarterback Derek Carr. Now, with WR Rashid Shaheed (knee) out for the season, New Orleans will be without their top two options in the passing game.
Expect them to lean more heavily on running back Alvin Kamara than ever. That said, they're reeling from their embarrassing loss to the Carolina Panthers in Week 9 and the subsequent firing of their head coach. They'll still have their offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak running the show, but this is a team in disarray.
Even after the injury to Olave, Tipton recorded zero catches in Week 9. He should not be considered for starting lineups until he... well, until he does something.

The wide receiver position has an advantage over the running back position in PPR scoring formats, typically. Receivers' main job of catching the football leads to them scoring more points per touch, and those WRs that consistently get high volume can produce great results with a strong floor. Not every WR is like this, though, […]
