Mason Tipton A Deep-League Flex
2 months agoNew Orleans Saints wide receiver Mason Tipton suddenly finds himself at the top of the team's depth chart going into Week 10. Chris Olave (concussion) and Cedrick Wilson Jr. (shoulder) have both been declared out on the team's final injury report for their game against the Atlanta Falcons, paving the way for Tipton to step in as the Saints' WR1. What he does with the opportunity is another question. In the wake of Olave's early exit last Sunday, Tipton was targeted just three times and had zero catches despite being on the field for 78% of the team's offensive snaps. Tipton had close to an 80% snap share in the two previous weeks as well but saw little production. Over the last three weeks, the rookie out of Yale has eight catches on 14 targets for 59 receiving yards. It is hard to trust that Tipton will break out in Week 10 as there is little separating him from Marquez Valdes-Scantling or Jermaine Jackson. Looking like a WR5, Tipton can be on the wire in most leagues but makes for a dart-throw flex in deep leagues.
