The New Orleans Saints have selected WR Jordyn Tyson with the No. 8 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact:
Tyson becomes the second wide receiver taken in the first eight picks of the 2026 NFL Draft. After transferring from Colorado, Tyson led Arizona State in receiving yards in each of his last two seasons. He does, however, come with a long medical track record with a horrible knee injury in 2022 (ACL, MCL, PCL), a broken collarbone in 2024, and a hamstring injury in 2025. Last year, the Saints' second receiver, behind Chris Olave, was Devaughn Vele who finished with 25 catches for 293 yards in 2025. So, Tyson should start opposite Olave in New Orleans from day one and form an exciting receiving duo for second-year QB Tyler Shough.
