Should You Start or Sit Mason Tipton in Week 7?
Tipton averaged 15.8 yards per catch during a four-year career at Yale, and while he only caught one pass in Week 6, he figures to be more involved this week against a Broncos defense that is down Patrick Surtain (concussion).
Tipton was on the field for 40.9% of the snaps last week, trailing both Bub Means (69.7%) and Cedrick Wilson Jr. (53%), but that rate could shoot up if the Saints elect to deploy the shortest of their healthy receivers more in the slot in Week 7.
Last week, 47.5% of Spencer Rattler’s passes traveled no more than five yards downfield, making a chain-moving role next to Alvin Kamara a valuable one and one that this 24-year-old could fill tonight.
