The Saints decided to add another top target to the mix and selected Jordyn Tyson No. 8 overall in this year's draft. When healthy, Tyson proved to be a quality separator and caught 61 passes for 711 yards and eight touchdowns in just nine games last year. He projects to start across from Olave on the perimeter and is worth a shot as a WR3 in fantasy drafts.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

No. 8 overall pick; 61 catches, 711 yards in 9 games; hamstring concerns.

The Saints selected Tyson No. 8 overall in the 2026 draft. Coming out of Arizona State, he has a physical skillset and was a high-volume perimeter receiver in college. He caught 61 passes for 711 yards and eight touchdowns in just nine games last year, proving to be a quality separator when healthy. He projects to start across from Olave on the perimeter. Like Olave, Tyson comes with injury concerns after entering the offseason with hamstring issues. He is worth a shot as a WR3 in fantasy drafts.
