Winks Drops Jordyn Tyson to WR54, Lifts Chris Olave to WR12 After Week 1

2 articles · Updated · Yahoo Sports · Aug 18

Summary

  • Jordyn Tyson fell to WR54 and 129th overall after Winks projected the Saints rookie to miss about seven games with a hamstring injury that could sideline him into October or November.
  • Chris Olave rose to WR12 and 25th overall, while Juwan Johnson gained early-season appeal, because Tyson's absence should funnel targets through a Saints offense Winks expects to improve in Year 2 under Kellen Moore.
  • Breece Hall took only a modest hit to RB16 despite a groin injury, while Jeremiyah Love landed at RB13 after a high-ankle sprain; Winks said both remain Round 3 values given their projected workloads.
  • Keenan Allen's one-year deal worth up to $8 million with Indianapolis pushed him to WR59 and slightly dinged Josh Downs, with Allen expected to help immediately if Alec Pierce remains limited.
  • Preseason Week 1 also boosted several sleeper receivers—De'Zhaun Stribling to WR40, KC Concepcion to WR38 and Matthew Golden to WR32—while committee usage and crowded rotations hurt Titans, Bills and Giants pass-catchers.
