A week after leading his team in targets, New Orleans Saints wide receiver Mason Tipton drew just two in Week 8 against the Los Angeles Chargers and finished the game with two catches for 14 yards. With fellow rookie Bub Means (ankle) declared out and Cedrick Wilson Jr. (hip) tagged as questionable for Week 9, Tipton is suddenly next in line behind Chris Olave at wide receiver. Even with the dramatic jump up the depth chart, Tipton will be hard to trust against the lowly Carolina Panthers. The Saints' Week 1 blowout of their division rival featured the use of their running backs and tight ends, positions that the Panthers have continued to struggle against mightily. A similar game plan this time around would leave Tipton short on usage. He can be left on the wire in 12-team leagues in favor of players with more certain roles.

Los Angeles Rams rookie wide receiver JJ Laap caught a 47-yard touchdown pass from Stetson Bennett in the team's 13-9 win over the Chargers on Saturday. Laap's TD catch ended up being the difference in the game as he caught both of his targets for 50 receiving yards. Laap is a rookie out of Cortland State of New York. The small college receiver made the most of his opportunity in Week 2 of the preseason but is not likely to have a role in a crowded Rams receiver room during the regular season.
