Draft note
by John Paulsen
In his second season, Chris Olave finished as the fantasy WR21, though he would have finished a few spots higher had he not missed a game. He was the WR25 as a rookie. His targets increased from 7.6 in 2022 to 9.0 per game last season. Matt Harmon of Reception Perception: “Playing in what quietly may have been the worst conceptual offense in the NFL with a limited quarterback, Olave showed off many traits you want to see from a player who can jump into the superstar tier of receivers.” The good news is that the Saints have a new offensive coordinator, Klint Kubiak, who ran a Vikings offense in 2021 that generated the 11th-most passing yards and the ninth-most passing touchdowns. For the last eight games of the 2022 season, Kubiak also took over play-calling for the Broncos, and the team generated the 21st-most passing yards and the 14th-most touchdowns after finishing 15th and 31st, respectively, prior to Kubiak taking over play-calling duties. So there is optimism that Olave will be playing in a significantly better offense and that should help his bottom line.

NO WR Chris Olave - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

After missing Week 15 with an injury, Chris Olave exploded in Week 16 for 123 yards on nine catches (13 targets). He also added a two-point conversion. Olave would love a much better performance against the Buccaneers than he had in Week 4 when he caught just one pass for four yards. With the targets he's been getting, he should do much better. Get him in your lineups.
