News: 2 days agoOlave caught seven of 12 targets for 98 yards in Sunday's 23-22 overtime win over Cleveland.

Spin: The fifth-year wideout led the Saints in catches, targets and receiving yards once again, but Juwan Johnson was on the other end of Tyler Shough's only TD of the day. Olave is the clear top option in the New Orleans passing attack, but with Jordyn Tyson finally making his pro debut Sunday, secondaries may have someone else to worry about in the second half of the season. Olave will take a 56-734-2 line on 83 targets into a Week 10 battle against the Panthers.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Olave is fresh off a career year in which he reached new highs in targets (156), receptions (100), yardage (1,163) and touchdowns (nine). He finished eighth among receivers in fantasy PPG, which beat out his previous career best of 19th in 2023. Olave finished no lower than seventh among receivers in nearly every counting stat, including end zone targets (12) and air yards (1,816). The big season was a sigh of relief after a 2024 campaign riddled with concussions, and it positions the 26-year-old right back in the fringe-WR1 discussion. Especially with No. 8 overall pick Jordyn Tyson expected to miss a month or two with a hamstring injury, Olave will remain Tyler Shough's top target, and that sets him up for another highly productive campaign.
