The New Orleans Saints haven't been the best team for finding value for Fantasy Football. But, for the 2026 season, that's about to change.
With Tyler Shough looking like the answer at quarterback, Chris Olave looking as good as ever, and Travis Etienne Jr. and rookie wide receiver Jordyn Tyson joining the roster, things are looking up for the Saints in Fantasy this year.
But, regarding Tyson, where will he wind up going in Fantasy drafts? ESPN conducted a mock-draft, and Tyson wound up being a mid-round pick while still going ahead of some very notable names.
Jordyn Tyson's Fantasy Football value for 2026
"72. Jordyn Tyson, NO (WR33)," according to ESPN's mock draft. Eric Moody took Tyson at the 72nd pick in Round 8 of this 10-team mock draft, and it's some solid value for the new Saints WR.
While he might've been the 33rd wide receiver to go off the board, he went ahead of some very notable names in the same round.
Jacksonville Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. was taken at No. 73 overall, while Alec Pierce (No. 77), Jakobi Meyers (No. 78), and Courtland Sutton (No. 80) were all taken after Tyson.

For a rookie who's never played in the NFL yet and is the WR2 on his team, to be taken here over these players is a fascinating revelation on his value.
Olave was the No. 29 pick in this mock draft, also taken by Moody. The Saints this upcoming season have some high upside, and Tyson could be in store for a great season.
While there might be more attention on Olave in the Saints offense, and Carnell Tate, Jeremiyah Love, and Jadarian Price among the rookie class, Tyson is someone Fantasy managers should look to draft as a decent FLEX or high-upside bench option.
