Chris Olave Fantasy Football Rankings & Outlook

PFM Fantasy Outlook

Chris Olave comes out of New Orleans' Week 8 bye following a six-catch, 56-yard performance against Pittsburgh in Paris. He led the Saints with 10 targets in that game, but the offense struggled to run and Tyler Shough threw only one touchdown, to Devaughn Vele. Olave has remained an important part of the passing game even when the production falls short of 100 yards. His last three games have produced fewer than 60 receiving yards apiece after a much more productive start.

Olave still has 49 receptions for 636 yards and two touchdowns through seven appearances. He offers a strong reception base in half-PPR scoring, though only two scores reduce his margin for a top weekly finish. PFM lists him WR7 for Week 9 against Cleveland and WR8 rest of season. The Browns allowed a big receiving game to Harold Fannin Jr. while losing at Pittsburgh, but New Orleans still needs to protect Shough and finish drives. A higher share of scoring chances would do more for Olave's outlook than another six-catch afternoon without a touchdown.
