The New Orleans Saints will face the Cleveland Browns in Week 11. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding WR Mason Tipton.
Is Mason Tipton Playing in Week 11?
Update: In a surprise move, Tipton was announced as inactive ahead of the Saints game against the Cleveland Browns.
Tipton is not listed on the injury report this week, so barring any setbacks, he is on track to play this weekend.

Should You Start or Sit Mason Tipton in Week 11?
The thought process when targeting a receiver room that is in flux is sound, but I’d recommend doing it for either a player with more pedigree (Tipton: undrafted after four years at Yale) or in an offense with more upside (15 PPG over its past four games).
Saints WR snap shares, Week 10:
- Tipton: 55.8%
- Marquez Valdes-Scantling: 53.8%
- Kevin Austin Jr.: 48.1%
Without much separation, there’s not enough projectable volume to assign to any receiver in this offense. Tipton has run 54 routes over the past two weeks, which is 54 more than me — and yet, we are tied in receptions.
Way down the rankings, I’d rather hope for the best on a Devaughn Vele (DEN) or Ja’Lynn Polk type this week.
