Who Should I Start? Robert Woods or Mason Tipton

Monday, April 28, 10:25 PM

The Pittsburgh Steelers signed veteran free-agent wide receiver Robert Woods to a one-year, $2 million deal on Monday, sources told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Woods will give the Steelers a new target and a strong locker-room presence for whoever end up being their starting quarterback in 2025. The 33-year-old former Super Bowl champion will be competing for a roster spot in training camp this summer as receiving depth behind starters DK Metcalf and George Pickens. Even if Woods were able to somehow beat out the likes of Calvin Austin III and Roman Wilson for the WR3 job in Pittsburgh, he's probably not going to be attractive in most fantasy leagues given the team's QB situation. The former second-rounder by the Buffalo Bills in 2013 out of USC only mustered 20 catches for 203 yards and no touchdowns in 15 games (four starts) for the Houston Texans in 2024.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Mason Tipton caught one of his three targets for a 54-yard touchdown in a 27-13 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers in preseason action on Sunday. Tipton provided one of the few offensive highlights of the game for the Saints when he hauled in a deep pass down the left sideline from Tyler Shough in the third quarter. The second-year receiver played in 11 games for the Saints in 2024, finishing with 14 catches for 99 yards as he battles to provide some depth behind Chris Olave, Rashid Shaheed, and Brandin Cooks. Tipton's next preseason action comes on Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
