Who will replace injured Jordyn Tyson as the Saints' #2 WR?

Jordyn Tyson is projected to miss roughly a month due to injury. Fantasy owners ponder who will fill the void at the Saints #2 WR position. Initially, New Orleans selected Tyson with the #8 overall pick, a move that seemed perplexing given his severe knee injury in 2022, a broken collarbone in 2024, and recurring hamstring problems.

Now, the team faces a significant receiver vacancy, while Chris Olave s value appears to have increased considerably. However, Tyler Shough s worth is diminished as he loses a key playmaker. Though Tyson s current ADP stands at 86, savvy fantasy managers should hesitate drafting him in the top 140. While he might be placed on IR and return by early November, this could limit roster flexibility for other injured players.

There is also no assurance Tyson will return by mid-November. The franchise may exercise caution when selecting their first-round pick. Tyson s projected rookie receptions total is 30.5. Devaughn Vele may assume the #2 role when Tyson is sidelined. Sixth-round draft pick Barion Brown has also gained traction. Yet, my selection to replace Tyson in this coveted fantasy spot is fourth-round rookie Bryce Lance.

Despite an overall ADP (580) that has fallen over 100 spots recently, Lance possesses exceptional speed and big-play abilities. If he is ready for the second preseason game, I anticipate his value to surge in the coming week.
