The New Orleans Saints just secured a weapon at No. 136 in Bryce Lance, a 6-foot-3 WR who dominated the NFL Combine with a 4.34-second 40-yard dash and an elite 115.6 Speed Score (98th-percentile). Lance is an analytical sleeper who transitioned from special teams to a dominant WR profile, posting back-to-back 1,000-yard campaigns at North Dakota State fueled by a 21.2 Yards Per Reception and elite lower-body explosion—verified by a 41.5-inch vertical jump.
In dynasty formats, the big winner of this pick is Tyler Shough, who now has gotten new weapons in WR Jordyn Tyson, TE Oscar Delp and Lance added to join Chris Olave. However, Lance may have to wait a year or two to become fantasy relevant.

The New Orleans Saints just landed an absolute weapon at No. 8 overall in Jordyn Tyson, a potential alpha with an elite 18.1 Breakout Age (99th-percentile) that proves he was dominating grown men while his peers were still at prom. Tyson is an analytical god with a massive 46.8% College Dominator Rating and a 34.2% Target Share that scream “high-volume target hog,” and he’s now stepping into a Saints offense desperate for a three-level separator who can win at the catch point.
For dynasty purposes, it’s wheels up for Tyson as a locked-in Top-5 rookie pick with an elite WR1 ceiling, especially considering his 3.04 Yards Per Route Run and the high-leverage opportunity he’ll command from Day 1 in the Big Easy. The secondary winner here is Tyler Shough, who now enters year two with Chris Olave and Tyson on the outside and new addition Travis Etienne in the backfield.
Jordan Tyson’s draft stock is surging following a recent private workout, firmly positioning him as a Top-10 draft pick. Underhill considers him the most talented receiver in the class, citing the Giants at No. 5 and the Saints at No. 8 as likely suitors. New Orleans hosted Tyson for a Top-30 visit in April and Underhill described Tyson as being “by far, the most talented wide receiver in this whole entire class,” and he sees Tyson as an “enticing” option for the Saints.
Should Tyson land with the Giants and Saints, he would immediately slot in as the No. 2 WR on the depth chart. Kansas City is the most fantasy-friendly landing spot as Tyson projects to be an NFL X-receiver and would be tethered to Patrick Mahomes long-term. Regardless of which teams selects him, Tyson is expected to immediately step into a highly productive, fantasy-friendly role. Fantasy gamers should freely select him as early as the 1.02 in single QB and 1.03 in superflex dyansty rookie drafts.
Despite a daunting medical history headlined by a 2022 knee reconstruction and multiple fractures, Jordyn Tyson has reportedly been cleared by nearly 20 NFL teams following a standout private workout. This medical green light preserves an elite analytical profile featuring a 99th-percentile Breakout Age (18.1) and a massive 34.2% College Target Share (97th percentile) that screams alpha potential at the next level.
As a projected first-round selection with a 46.8% College Dominator Rating, Tyson is positioned to claim an immediate starting role and become a high-priority “franchise pillar” for dynasty league fantasy managers as early as this season.
Analysts Mel Kiper Jr., Todd McShay, and Peter Schrager have reached a consensus mocking WR Jordyn Tyson and CB Colton Hood to the Chiefs with their two first-round picks. At ninth overall, Tyson offers Patrick Mahomes an elite, reliable target, though his draft stock carries risk due to a lengthy college injury history.
Tyson is a perfect fit for Kansas City. He could immediately start at X receiver, pushing Xavier Worthy to a more specialized stretch role, and Rashee Rice would become a “big slot” target monster. Regardless of role, joining Patrick Mahomes for the next four years would instantly vault Tyson to the No. 1 WR prospect for dynasty rookie drafts.
Jordan Tyson is a projected first-round pick and looks to solidify his draft stock during an upcoming pro day at Arizona State. While his talent is undeniable, his professional outlook is clouded by a dense injury history, including recurring hamstring issues and multiple major ligament tears.
As arguably the most complete wide receiver in the NFL Draft, it is hard to see Tyson slipping past the Chargers picking at No. 22. A strong workout will only solidify his fantasy stock as a Top-5 pick in dynasty rookie drafts.
