Jordyon Tyson caught 11-of-13 targets for 80 yards in the Saints’ Week 10 loss to the Panthers.
The Saints ramped up Tyson’s snaps and routes in his second game of the season, as the rookie ran a route on 32 of the team’s 47 drop backs on the day and easily led all New Orleans pass catchers in targets and receiving yards. Chris Olave, meanwhile, was limited to three catches for 30 yards on five targets. Tyson was targeted both in the short and intermediate areas, and nearly came up with a couple downfield grabs on poorly-thrown balls from Tyler Shough. The Saints saw fit to target Tyson twice on backfield screen looks in the second half. That kind of usage suggests Tyson could be an outsized part of the Saints offense going forward. He’ll be a WR3 option in Week 11 against the Bears.
