Jordyn Tyson's fantasy role in Week 2
Jordyn Tyson goes into Week 2 of the 2026 season as a deep-league WR flyer for the NO. He is rostered in 34% of leagues and actually started in 0% of them, and we rank him WR70 on our own weekly board at 5.9 projected points.
Roster rates are steady week over week, so his role looks settled rather than in flux.
Health matters here: he carries a INJURY_RESERVE designation, so have a replacement ready until his status is resolved.
Week 2 matchup breakdown
The matchup: at BAL. Our Pepper Meter heat rating for this spot is 1 out of 5, which is how we grade the combination of role, projection and opponent difficulty.
Against a typical starting WR baseline of 10 points, his 5.9-point projection is 4.1 points short. That gap is the whole start/sit argument in one number.
How to play it
Sit Jordyn Tyson in Week 2 if you have a real alternative — 5.9 projected points lands 4.1 under the WR starter line.
If you are deciding between him and another WR, compare projections first, then lean on the Pepper Meter heat rating as the tiebreaker.
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Jordyn Tyson (NO WR), our WR70 this week for Week 2 of the 2026 NFL season at BAL, projecting 5.9 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. On the road against BAL, I expect the game to stay competitive enough that his usage holds. The projection sits about 41% under what a startable WR returns, so I can't pretend the price tag matches the output. Fair warning: he carries a injury reserve tag as of the timestamp below, so re-check before kickoff. Sally keeps him at Mild until the usage says otherwise.
