New Orleans Saints wide receiver Mason Tipton (groin) has officially been ruled out for Week 18's game against the Atlanta Falcons and will be placed on Injured Reserve, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports. Tipton's season will officially come to an end after suffering a groin injury in Week 16 versus the New York Jets, causing him to miss last week's game. The 25-year-old wideout recorded 11 receptions for 76 yards on 17 targets in 14 games this season. He saw his opportunities increase later in the season, playing 66.4% of the offensive snaps in Weeks 12-16 and collected all of his production during that span after playing only 10.5% of the snaps over the first 10 weeks of the season. With top wideout Chris Olave (illness) also ruled out, the available receivers for the Saints in Week 18 will be Kevin Austin Jr., Dante Pettis, Ronnie Bell, and Samori Toure.

Isaiah Bond News
Monday, June 22, 11:03 AM
ESPN's Daniel Oyefusi writes that no Cleveland Browns wideout was targeted more than wide receiver Isaiah Bond this spring. The Browns drafted receivers KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston back in April, but that doesn't mean that Bond will be mothballed in his second NFL season. Bond showed off his speed and the 15 pounds of muscle that he added in the offseason with plenty of contested catches during offseason practices. The 22-year-old former University of Texas product played in 16 games (two starts) for the Browns in 2025 in his first year in the NFL and caught just 18 of his 44 targets for 338 yards and no touchdowns. Veteran Jerry Jeudy is still in the team's WR room, which will definitely make it difficult for Bond to stand out every week as he heads into his sophomore season in Cleveland. Bond deserves to be held in dynasty/keeper formats, but in redraft leagues in 2026, he should be left to the waiver wire to begin the season in 12-team leagues. Right now, Bond is outside of RotoBaller's top-100 receivers for the upcoming campaign.
