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.

Jimmy Horn Jr. News
Friday, May 29, 5:38 AM
As a sixth-round rookie in 2025, Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jimmy Horn Jr. failed to make an impact while playing in one of the more wide-open receiver rooms in the league, finishing the year with 108 yards and no scores on 11 receptions. Heading into 2026, the Panthers made minimal additions to a room that falls off quickly behind 2025 Offensive Rookie of the Year Tetairoa McMillan, signing John Metchie III in free agency and spending a third-round pick on Chris Brazzell II, but at only 174 pounds, Horn could still struggle to find the field in an offense that ran the ball at an above-average rate in 2025. With the sturdier Jalen Coker returning from injury in Week 7 and reclaiming primary slot responsibilities, Horn did not top a 31% snap share in any game as a rookie, and there's little reason to believe the diminutive wideout will see a substantial uptick in year two. At RotoBaller's dynasty WR143, he is not a player who needs to be rostered in even the deepest of dynasty leagues.
