Mason Tipton - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Healthy scratch Sunday Tipton (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Browns.

Impact Despite the Saints having three wide receivers on injured reserve and five on the active roster, Tipton will remain in street clothes Sunday while Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Cedrick Wilson, Kevin Austin and Dante Pettis will man the position. Tipton's next chance for game action will come after a Week 12 bye on Sunday, Dec. 1 versus the Rams.

Held catchless Week 9 Tipton hauled in zero of three targets during Sunday's 23-22 loss against Carolina.

Impact Tipton played over 75 percent of offensive snaps for the third game in a row, and he was the only Saints wideout to play over 50 percent of these snaps. But, he still logged a paltry three targets despite an early exit for Saints' No. 1 wideout Chris Olave, who sustained a concussion in the first quarter. Instead, running back Alvin Kamara and do-it-all tight end Taysom Hill led the team in targets with nine and five, respectively. Tipton tallied a season-high nine targets when Olave was ruled out ahead of the Week 7 loss to Denver. It stands to reason that Tipton could be featured more if Olave is once again ruled out ahead of next Sunday's game versus the Falcons.

Stays busy in Week 7 loss Tipton secured six of nine targets for 45 yards and returned one kickoff for 21 yards in the Saints' 33-10 loss to the Broncos on Thursday night.

Impact The undrafted rookie from Yale unsurprisingly saw a significantly extended role with Chris Olave (concussion), Rashid Shaheed (knee) sidelined and Taysom Hill (ribs) all out for New Orleans. Tipton came into the night with a 6-40 line on 11 targets over his first five games, so his numbers Thursday essentially matched what he'd accomplished as a pro to date. The solid performance could be a sign of what's to come for Tipton the rest of the season, as Shaheed has been ruled out for the season.

Logs four targets Week 5 Tipton reeled in one of four targets for two yards during Monday's 26-13 loss against the Chiefs.

Impact Tipton logged a season-high in targets while serving as the Saints' WR3. The 5-foot-11 undrafted rookie didn't connect with Derek Carr (oblique) on two deep targets in the second and fourth quarter, but he once again played more offensive snaps (19) than veteran wideout Cedrick Wilson (12). However, Carr is expected to miss multiple games with a left oblique injury sustained during Monday's loss, and his absence would cast a shadow on the Saints' passing game moving forward. In the meantime, either Jake Haener or rookie Spencer Rattler should step in under center for this coming Sunday's game versus Tampa Bay.

Sees slight uptick in playing time Tipton reeled in his only target for six yards during Sunday's 26-24 loss to the Falcons.

Impact Tipton played a season-high 39 percent of offensive snaps Week 4. But, this didn't translate to more targets, as the undrafted rookie out of Yale has now totaled five targets while appearing in each of the first four games this season. He's still seen consistent playing time behind top-three wideouts Chris Olave, Rashid Shaheed and Cedrick Wilson so far, so Tiption's role could increase if any of these starters miss time with injury at some point in the future. The Saints will have an extra day of prep before their next game versus the Chiefs on Monday, Oct. 7.

Draws three targets versus Philly Tipton gathered in two of three argets for 11 yards during Sunday's 15-12 loss versus the Eagles.

Impact Tipton tied with running back Alvin Kamara for the Saints' third-most targets Sunday. The undrafted wideout out of Yale logged targets on both the first and final offensive series of the game for the Saints. However, he did't see significant more playing time than he did in the first two games of the season, as Tipton still logged fewer offensive snaps (18) than fellow wideouts Chris Olave (45), Rashid Shaheed (42) and Cedrick Wilson (25). Tipton's target share isn't significant enough to warrant much of any attention from fantasy owners, but his role as WR3/WR4 likely indicates that he's one of the next men up if Olave and/or Shaheed are forced to miss time with injury this season.

SEPTEMBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Zero targets Week 2 Tipton logged zero targets during Sunday's 44-19 win over the Cowboys.

Impact Tipton played exactly 15 offensive snaps for the second game in a row. He still saw the third-most playing time of any New Orleans wideout behind Chris Olave (42) and Rashid Shaheed (39). However, there weren't many opportunities to go around in the receiving game, as the Saints logged 39 rushing attemtps across 56 total offensive plays. Tipton could see an immediate uptick in production if either Olave or Shaheed miss time moving forward, though he doesn't have much, if any, fantasy value otherwise.

SEPTEMBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Grabs one pass Week 1 Tipton gathered in his only target for six yards during Sunday's 47-10 victory over Carolina.

Impact Tipton saw fairly significant playing time with 17 offensive snaps Sunday. The undrafted wideout from Yale appeared to fill the role left by A.T. Perry, who was inactive with a hand injury. As a result, the rookie caught his first career target on a short pass from starting quarterback Derek Carr midway through the second quarter. Tipton also saw more playing time than 2024 sixth-rounder Bub Means (six), which is a solid sign for the former's current spot in this wide receiver hierarchy. He should fulfill a similar role if Perry remains sidelined for next Sunday's road contest at Dallas.

Ready for Week 1 Tipton (hamstring) is not on the Saints' injury report Wednesday.

Impact Tipton has moved past a hamstring injury that kept him out of the team's final preseason game. When he takes the field Sunday against the Panthers, assuming he isn't inactive, he will be making his NFL debut after securing a spot on the 53-man roster as an undrafted free agent out of Yale. Currently listed at the bottom of the team's depth chart at wide receiver, it's unlikely he sees many opportunities, but he clearly impressed New Orleans' staff in camp and possesses a 4.33-second 40-yard dash time.

Not playing Sunday Tipton (hamstring) will not suit up for the Saints' preseason finale against the Titans on Sunday, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Impact Tipton broke out early in training camp with his blazing speed, but a hamstring injury has prevented him from playing in all three preseason games for New Orleans. That will factor towards Tipton's chances of making the 53-man roster at the end of training camp, though the Saints will likely try and keep the undrafted rookie around on the practice squad.

AUGUST 25 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to practice Tipton (hamstring) returned to practice Thursday as a limited participant, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Impact Tipton was making waves early in training camp, with his 4.33-second 40-yard dash time fully on display as both a wide receiver and return specialist. Unfortunately, he has missed both of New Orleans' preseason games due to a hamstring injury he sustained in early August. A lingering injury would normally keep a player out of preseason action, but with Tipton competing for a final spot on the Saints' 53-man roster, he could suit up for Sunday's preseason finale against Tennessee.

AUGUST 22 • ROTOWIRE

Injured during practice Tipton left practice early Wednesday due to a hamstring injury, according to head coach Dennis Allen, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Impact The injury is a tough blow for Tipton who was receiving rave reviews early in training camp. The Yale product went undrafted in 2024 but has posted a 4.33-second 40-yard dash time, which he's put on display in practices, proving to be a potential downfield threat. It's not yet clear how much time the 23-year-old could be sidelined with the injury.

Impact An undrafted rookie out of Yale, Tipton has put his 4.33-second 40-yard dash speed on frequent display in camp, with DeShazier noting that the receiver turned in one of the highlights of practice Monday with a long touchdown catch down the sideline. Though Tipton already looks like a downfield threat, the 5-foot-11, 187-pound wideout will still need to show that his quickness can translate to underneath routes if he wants to separate himself from the rest of his competition for a roster spot. If Tipton continues to shine in preseason contests and earns his way on to the roster, he could push for the third spot in a receiver group that lacks much in the way of quality depth behind starters Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed.
