Jordyn Tyson Making Progress, but Practice Return Remains Uncertain

Monday, October 12, 11:26 AM

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) is progressing in his recovery, but a return to practice has not been confirmed. Asked Monday whether the rookie could begin practicing this week, head coach Kellen Moore responded, "Not right now," according to Mike Triplett, who added that Tyson is expected back on the practice field soon. The eighth overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft has been sidelined since injuring his hamstring during an August 13 joint practice with Jacksonville. Tyson also dealt with hamstring issues before entering the NFL, which helps explain the team's cautious approach. He has been eligible to return from injured reserve since Week 5 but has yet to make his regular-season debut. Chris Olave has established himself as New Orleans' leading receiver with 39 catches for 537 yards through five games, while Devaughn Vele has added 25 receptions for 252 yards. Tyson remains an intriguing stash in deeper fantasy leagues, although his availability for Sunday's matchup against the New York Giants is uncertain, and his eventual role in the passing game has yet to be established.

Malachi Fields Remains a Deep-League Waiver Stash Entering Week 6

Tuesday, October 13, 7:32 AM

New York Giants wide receiver Malachi Fields remains a speculative waiver-wire stash heading into Week 6, although his limited involvement makes him difficult to trust in fantasy lineups. The rookie caught both of his targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 27-27 tie with the Washington Commanders, bringing his season totals to 10 receptions for 146 yards and one touchdown on 17 targets. Fields has caught exactly two passes in each of his five games, and his target totals have dropped from four and six in Weeks 1 and 2 to just seven combined over the past three contests. Even with Jameis Winston attempting 54 passes against Washington, Fields saw only two targets while Malik Nabers and Isaiah Likely combined for 33. The third-round pick showed some big-play potential with a 52-yard, one-touchdown performance against Arizona in Week 4, but his opportunities remain too limited for reliable fantasy production. Rostered in just 7% of leagues, Fields is worth stashing in 12-team PPR formats with deeper benches, though he isn't a viable Week 6 streamer against New Orleans.
