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

Saints' Mason Tipton: Grabs one pass Week 1
Rotowire
Tipton gathered in his only target for six yards during Sunday's 47-10 victory over Carolina.
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 snaps), which is a solid sign for the former's current spot in this wide-receiver hierarchy. He should fill a similar role if Perry remains sidelined for next Sunday's road contest at Dallas.

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

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

Saints' Mason Tipton: Injured during practice
Rotowire
Tipton left practice early Wednesday due to a hamstring injury, according to head coach Dennis Allen, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.
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 long the 23-year-old could be sidelined with the injury.

Saints' Mason Tipton: Making waves in camp
Rotowire
Tipton has drawn positive reviews from the New Orleans coaching staff for his performance during the team's early training camp practices, John DeShazier of the Saints' official site reports. "I think he's got the skill set," head coach Dennis Allen said of Tipton. "He's a smaller player, but he's got some real good quickness and he's a savvy route runner. He's got some football awareness, and so I think he understands kind of how to play the position."
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 onto 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.
