Who Should I Start? Mason Tipton or JaQuae Jackson

Injuries to the New Orleans Saints wide receiver room cleared a path up the depth chart for rookie Mason Tipton. With Chris Olave (concussion), Rashid Shaheed (knee), and Bub Means (ankle) on injured reserve, and Cedrick Wilson Jr. (shoulder) out for Week 10, there seemed to be ample opportunity for Tipton to soak up some targets. Sadly, that wasn't the case as Tipton did not draw a single target in last week's game against the Falcons. Marquez Valdes-Scantling was the main beneficiary of the Saints' lack of receiving talent, catching three balls for 109 yards and two scores against Atlanta, while running back Alvin Kamara was the preferred option on short routes. In Week 11, MVS can be expected to remain the team's deep option and if Wilson shakes his questionable tag, Tipton will have a hard time commanding targets against him or Kamara. He can safely be left on the waiver wire.

New England Patriots wide receiver JaQuae Jackson turned his lone target into a 38-yard touchdown reception during Thursday's preseason win over the Carolina Panthers. The 24-year-old was on the receiving end of a deep strike delivered by fellow rookie Joe Milton III. Jackson made a nice adjustment in open space, ultimately hauling in the pass and taking off for the end zone. It was a solid play but perhaps not enough to put him into heavy consideration for a 53-man roster spot. The undrafted rookie out of Rutgers faces an uphill battle to make the team, and he remains off the radar in all fantasy formats.
